Defense begins case
Testimony concerns brothers’ arrest, childhood abuse
By Kim McConnell
PDN Publisher
Defense witnesses continued to
take the stand Thursday in the Elvis
Thacker murder trial.
Thursday concluded day eight of
testimony in the murder of 22-yearold Briana Ault. Ault’s body was
found in a pond off Texas Road in
Pocola on Sept. 13, 2010. She had
been sodomized and her throat cut.
Elvis and his brother, Johnathen
Thacker, were charged in Ault’s murder, Johnathen Thacker already having pleaded guilty.
Direct and cross examination of
the defense’s witnesses went quickly
throughout the day, resulting in an
extended lunch and an early close of
court.
Taking the stand Thursday were

TRIAL
Fort Smith Fire Battalion Chief and
Fire Marshal Chris Driggers, Denver
Morrow — son of the Thackers’
father’s girlfriend, neighbor Jessie
Shipman, uncle Tommy Osman,
cousin Randy Studie and a witness to
the car fire, Joyce Thompson.
McCoy was questioned about the
arrest of the Thacker brothers on
Sept. 15, 2010. Video and audio footage from his stun gun was shown to
the jury. It depicted by audio the stabbing of Fort Smith Detective James
Melson, the shooting of Elvis Thacker by Fort Smith Detective Jeff Carter
and the arrest of Johnathen Thacker.
Mosley has argued that the Thackers were defending themselves against
a home-invasion type situation, saying the brothers were unaware it was
police forcibly entering the apartment. McCoy denied that theory, testifying he saw Oklahoma State Bureau
of Investigation Agent Shawn Ward
shine a flashlight on his badge and
identify himself as a police officer.
LeFlore County First Assistant
District Attorney Margaret Nicholson
was content in Mosley’s presentation
and questioning of McCoy, choosing
not to cross examine.
Morrow testified to a virus destroying his mother’s computer, alleging
the pornographic content viewed by
Johnathen Thacker infected and
ruined the computer — strengthening
Mosley’s argument that Johnathen
Thacker is a sexual sadist solely
responsible for Ault’s murder. Nicholson drew from his testimony that
the computer was not password protected and anyone in the home could
have viewed the pornographic images.
Osman and Studie testified to
abuses of the Thacker children they
witnessed. Osman’s testimony portrayed himself and his wife as active
participants in Elvis and Johnathen’s
lives, often caring for them, feeding
them and tutoring them through childhood and early adulthood.
Studie, one of the people present
during a camping trip in which Johnathen Thacker alleged Elvis Thacker
forced him to perform oral sex on
Elvis, denied the abuse happened,
claiming never to have been gone
from the two brothers long enough
for the act to have occurred. However, Nicholson’s questioning led Studie
to testify that Elvis, who Mosley has
portrayed as a victim of Johnathen,
was not scared of his brother. This
was further corroborated when Shipman testified that “Elvis was the only
one who could control Johnathen.”
That testimony coincided with Johnathen Thacker’s testimony that he was
a victim of Elvis, doing what he was
told.
Court came to an early end Thursday when the defense notified the
court they had gone through their list
of witnesses for the day and none
were left to take the stand until they
were scheduled to arrive this morning.

Ed tax petition delivered
By Sean Murphy
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Vowing to
secure a pay raise for the state’s teachers,
University of Oklahoma President David
Boren on Thursday helped deliver petitions with the signatures of more than
300,000 voters who support placing a
penny sales tax on the November ballot.
Flanked by teachers, students and other
education supporters, the former Oklahoma governor and U.S. senator said the
roughly 308,000 voter signatures marks a
record high for an initiative petition in the
state.
“We’ve made history today, and in
November we’re going to make another
chapter in the history book of Oklahoma
when we pass State Question 779,” Boren
said to a roar of applause. “Oklahomans
will not stand on the sidelines while our
system of public education is literally
being destroyed in this state. We’re not
going to take it any longer.”
The group had until mid-May to gather
the roughly 123,000 signatures needed to
get the proposal on the ballot.
The one-cent sales tax would generate
about $615 million annually, with about
70 percent of it designated for a $5,000
pay raise for Oklahoma teachers and other
funding for K-12 schools. Nearly 20 percent of it, or $120 million, would go to
state colleges and universities, with the
rest going for early-childhood education
and career-technology centers.
Oklahoma’s average teacher salary of
$44,549 in 2014 ranked 48th among the 50
states and District of Columbia, according
to a report from the National Education
Association. The nationwide average
teacher salary was $56,610.
Oklahoma’s combined state and average local sales tax rate of 8.82 percent in
2016 was the sixth highest in the nation,
according to the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank that advocates for broad-based, low-rate tax policies. A one-cent increase would give Oklahoma the highest sales tax rate in the
nation. The same foundation ranks Oklahoma’s overall tax burden as 12th lowest
out of 50 states.
Mostly because of concerns about the
high sales tax rate, House Speaker Jeff
Hickman said Republican legislative leaders are discussing a plan to develop a separate teacher pay raise proposal for voters
to consider. Hickman said a revenue source
for the pay hike hasn’t been determined,
but he said the proposal likely wouldn’t
include additional funding for colleges
and universities.
Meanwhile, the head of the lobbying
arm of the Oklahoma Council of Public
Affairs, a conservative think tank opposed
to higher taxes, called on lawmakers to
find some other way to pay for the teacher
pay raise.
“It’s very doable without increasing
taxes,” said Dave Bond, the CEO of OCPA
Impact, which filed an unsuccessful court
challenge against the initiative petition.
“And certainly not by increasing our sales
tax to the highest in the country.

Editorial Round-up
never
Editorial excerpt from Enid News & Eagle
April 16, 2016
Does the phrase “read my lips: no new taxes” ring any
bells?
That’s what presidential candidate George H.W. Bush
said at the 1988 Republican National Convention, and it
put him in a political pickle.
With Oklahoma now trying to fix a $1.3 billion shortfall, some are questioning the decision to pledge never to
raise taxes.
Gov. Mary Fallin and two-dozen Republican lawmakers are among signatories of Grover Norquist’s “Taxpayer
Protection Pledge,” a written commitment to oppose any
and all tax increases, according to the anti-tax advocate’s
group, Americans for Tax Reform.
Fallin said she’s honored the pledge she first signed in
June 2010.
She noted it includes a promise to oppose the repeal or
reduction of tax deductions or credits “unless matched
dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.”
House Minority Leader Scott Inman decided against
signing the pledge.
“I think it’s irresponsible to sign such pledges,” said
Inman, a Del City Democrat. “It’s even more irresponsible to adhere to them in the face of a $1.3 billion hole.
“When you artificially tie your hands to make a political point, then you’re taking potential solutions off the
table to help balance the budget, to do your job, which is
to fund education and make sure health care is protected
in rural Oklahoma and to make sure our roads and bridges are good,” he said.
Party politics aside, it’s ridiculous to put yourself into
a straitjacket with absolute promises.
When government plays games like this, it puts lawmakers in an awkward situation.

Last week, the Vatican
hosted a conference on the
theme of “Nonviolence and
Just Peace: Contributing to
the Catholic Understanding
of and Commitment to
Nonviolence,” organized
by the Pontifical Council
for Justice and Peace along
with the global Catholic
peace network Pax Christi
International. In their concluding appeal to Pope
Francis, the 80 conference
participants recommended
that he reject “Just War
Doctrine” as a viable or
productive Catholic tradition. They also recommended that he write a new
encyclical laying out the
Catholic Church’s commitment to nonviolence in all
of its manifestations —
including nonviolent action
as a means of engaging in
conflict, nonviolent conflict resolution as a way of
resolving conflict and nonviolence as the principle
doctrine of the Catholic
Church.
If such an encyclical follows, this is a big deal. The
just-war tradition — which
contains numerous doctrines morally justifying
violence and war, as well
as defining appropriate
conduct during war — has
served for the past 1,500
years as the primary nor-
mative basis politicians
have evoked (correctly or
incorrectly) to validate
their waging of war.
Because the Catholic
Church developed the doctrine between the fourth
and 13th centuries, the just
war canon has had a
monopolistic influence on
the way people in the west
think about war and violence — whether they
know
it
or
not.
Consequently, many people now take for granted
concepts like the right to
self-defense, the importance of weighing the goals
of war against its potential
human costs, the need to
exhaust other options
before going to war and the
necessity of only fighting
wars you think you can
win. Whether you’re the
president of the United
States in D.C., a police
officer on the beat in
Denver or a student in a
self-defense class in L.A.,
these moral concepts have
probably had a deep impact
on your thinking and your
experience when it comes
to the proper uses of violence.
Conference participants
acknowledged the main
sticking point for many
skeptics of nonviolence —
that promoting (or using)
Tuesdsay will be the
30th anniversary of the
reactor meltdown and radiation disaster at Chernobyl
in Ukraine, which brings to
mind cesium. Thirty years
is how long it takes for half
a given amount of cesium-137 — dispersed in
huge quantities from
Chernobyl (and Fukushima)
— to decay into radioactive barium. This 30-year
“half-life” means half of
Chernobyl’s jettisoned
cesium-137 is still around
— over four million billion
“Becquerels” in Europe
alone,
according
to
“TORCH: The Other
Report on Chernobyl.”
This cesium will persist in
decreasing amounts in soil,
water and food for another
270 years.
Chernobyl’s two massive explosions and 40-daylong fire spewed thousands
of tons of radioactive dust
around the world. Maureen
Hatch, writing in Oxford
Journals March 30, 2005,
reported that “contamination of the ground was
found to some extent in
every country in the
Northern Hemisphere.” Yet
it is not unusual for young
people to know almost
nothing about Chernobyl.
Infants at the time may
have ingested the dispersed
poisons. The Minneapolis
Star Tribune reported May
17, 1986, that “since radiation from the Chernobyl
nuclear accident began
floating over Minnesota
last week, low levels of
radiation have been discovered in ... the raw milk
from a Minnesota dairy.”
The U.N. classifies
Chernobyl and Fukushima

nonviolence can be difficult in the face of armed
aggression. Marie Dennis,
co-president of Pax Christi
International and a participant at the conference,
claimed that the group fully
considered this challenge.
Yet she argued that the
international community
hasn’t yet devoted resources to developing or discovering nonviolent alternatives to armed aggression
because of our reflexive
turn to violence as the only
possible response. In her
words, “as long as we keep
saying we can do it with
military force, we will not
invest the creative energy,
the deep thinking, the
financial and human
resources in creating or
identifying the alternatives
that actually could make a
difference.”
So — why is the Catholic
Church reconsideringnow?
Reporter Terrence Lynne
argues that there are five
primary reasons for this —
among them the fact that
contemporary weapons of
war render obsolete any
positive impacts that war
might have; and what he
calls “the compelling,
thrilling saga of nonviolent
action over the 60 years
since Gandhi.” Indeed,
among the arguments Pope
Francis used to encourage
the conference participants
was the dramatic rise in the
effectiveness of nonviolent
resistance over the past
century — a trend we hear
a lot around the halls of
the Korbel School. In fact,
one of the participants in
this landmark conference
was my colleague Maria J.
Stephan, whose work on
civil resistance in a variety
of struggles around the
world helped to provide
a strong empirical basis for
this conference.
How’s that for engaged
scholarship?

Guest Column
John LaForge
The most often-repeated
fatality estimate is from the
U.N.’s 2006 Chernobyl
Forum, which reported
“9,000 excess deaths for
the most affected areas.”
The study is regularly misreported as having identified “4,000 Chernobyl
deaths,” and it’s been criticized for investigating only
those fatalities expected in
Russia,
Belarus
and
Ukraine — although the
majority of radioactive
fallout was deposited outside those former Soviet
republics.
Author Alexey Yablokov
said, “There is no reasonable explanation for the
fact that the [Chernobyl
Forum] completely neglected the consequences of
radioactive contamination
in other countries, which
received more than 50 percent of the Chernobyl radionuclides ... ” Yablokov’s
book,
“Chernobyl:
Consequences of the
Catastrophe for People and
the Environment,” published by the Annals of the
New York Academy of
Sciences, estimates 985,000
Chernobyl deaths.
Alternately, Ukraine’s
Minister of Health Andrei
Serkyuk declared in 1995
that 125,000 Ukrainians
had died from the effects of
Chernobyl. Serkyuk said a
large share of casualties
were among children, pregnant women and rescue
workers, or “liquidators.”
Liquidators were the sol-
diers, farmers, miners and
factory workers conscripted to work removing and
burying radioactive topsoil,
debris and equipment from
near the smashed reactor
using inadequate protective
gear or none at all. The Los
Angeles Times reported in
1998 that “Russian officials estimated 10,000
Russian ‘liquidators’ died”
and quoted health officers
who said “close to 3,600
Ukrainians who took part
in the cleanup effort have
died of radiation exposure.” However, Ukrainian
authorities said in 2009
that over 25,000 liquidators died getting the accident under control and
constructing a concrete
shield over the wreckage.
Everyone in the global
north is subject to uninvited, unwelcome, dangerous
radiation exposures caused
by Chernobyl, Fukushima
and routine reactor emissions. The industry treats
everybody like liquidators,
but has a snappier name for
us. We’re called “sponges.”

Cowboys edge Sooners in first Bedlam game of season
NORMAN — Oklahoma
State pushed its winning streak
to four Wednesday night as the
25th-ranked Cowboys bested
Bedlam-rival Oklahoma, 4-3,
in a non-conference affair at L.
Dale Mitchell Park.
Andrew Rosa came off the
OSU bench and collected two
runs batted in, and Tyler Buffett
— one of eight pitchers used by
the Cowboys — earned his sixth
save of the season as the Pokes
improved to 23-13 on the season.
OU (18-19-1) took the game's
initial lead in the bottom of the
first inning, getting back-to-back
doubles from Ben Hollas and
Sheldon Neuse to go up 1-0.
The Sooners maintained the
one-run advantage until the sixth
when OSU mounted a rally to
take the lead.
Donnie Walton got things
started with a one-out single,
and Garrett Benge followed with
a double, one of his three hits in
the game. After a strikeout, Rosa
was inserted as a pinch hitter,
and he sent a high chopper over
the pitcher's mound for an RBI
single to tie the score at 1.
The game wouldn't be tied
long as OSU's next batter, Ryan
Sluder, sent a hard ground ball
off the glove of OU third baseman Cade Harris, with the error bringing home the go-ahead
run.
Leading 2-1, OSU saw the
Sooners put runners on first and
second with one out in the seventh after Garrett Williams issued a pair of walks, but Remey
Reed came out of the bullpen
and got a pop out and a strikeout
to end the threat.
OSU would plate two more
runs in the eighth. Once again
it was Walton getting things
started with a single, and after he
stole second, Benge delivered a
base hit to put Cowboys on the
corners. Up next, Colin Simpson
collected an RBI single before a
fourth-straight single, this one
by Rosa, brought home another
run to make it 4-1.
The Sooners made things
interesting in their final at bat
against Buffett.
Austin O'Brien led off the inning with a walk, and a single
by Hunter Haley coupled with a
throwing error put OU runners
on the corners with no outs. An
RBI groundout by Alex Wise cut
the OSU lead in half before an
infield single off the bat of Steele
Walker made the score 4-3.
However, Buffett would pitch
his way out of trouble to preserve the win, striking out pinch
hitter Cody Thomas before getting Harris to line out to end the
game.
Walton, Benge, Simpson and
Rosa each finished with multihit efforts for the Cowboys, who
recorded 12 hits in the contest.
Joe Lienhard earned his firstcareer win on the mound after
working a scoreless fifth inning. The freshman was part of a
Cowboy bullpen that used seven
pitchers in relief of starter Michael Mertz, with the relief corps
allowing only one hit from the
third through the eighth innings.

TALIHINA — The slow-pitch softball

Both Howe and eventual district champion Tushka beat Talihina. The Lady Lions prevailed 12-0 and the Lady Tigers

OU women get past Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
— Playing in front of the
largest home crowd in program history, the University
of Arkansas softball team
battled No. 9 Oklahoma in
a 3-1 loss Wednesday at
Bogle Park.
Grace Moll registered
her 18th complete game
of the season while Nicole
Schroeder extended her onbase streak to 10 games.
The midweek match-up
between regional foes was
played in front of 1,531
fans, surpassing the previous mark by nearly 300
people.
Wednesday’s
home
crowd of 1,531 replaced the
previous program record
of 1,234 set last season
against Alabama. The figure now stands as the only
non-Southeastern Conference attendance mark on
the Razorbacks’ top-10
list. Two of the 10 all-time
home crowds stem from
the program’s stay at Lady
Back Yard, Arkansas’ home
facility from 1997 to 2008.
Moll scattered eight
hits through seven innings
Wednesday, allowing three
runs, one unearned, against
the Sooners. She finished
the game with five strikeouts to push her season total to 148. With 10 games
remaining in the regular
season, Moll is now just
14 strikeouts shy of joining
the program’s career top-10
list. In erasing a lead-off
single in the second, the defense turned its SEC-leading 22nd double play of the
season.
With a one-out double
through the infield and
to the left-center gap,
Schroeder posted her seventh two-base hit of the
year which also pushed
her current hitting streak
to a season-high six games.
She has now reached base
safely in 10-straight games,
tying her career-long streak
from her freshman season
in 2013. Schroeder has a hit
in nine of those 10 games.
It was the first of two doubles in the game for Arkan-
sas which saw Shelby Hiers
knock one off the wall in
the sixth.
OU (35-7) threatened
right away by loading the
bases with one out in the first
inning, but Moll responded
to keep the visitors off the
scoreboard with a strikeout
and groundball to second.
The Sooners broke through
with an unearned run in the
third inning which allowed
lead-off hitter Erin Miller
to score on an RBI single
by Caleigh Clifton. The
Sooner extended their lead
with a two-run blast by Fale
Aviu in the fifth inning.
Down to their last two
outs, the Razorbacks (1729) scored in the bottom
of the seventh to pull to
within one. Loren Krzysko
reached on a bobbled ball at
shortstop and stood on second after a wild pitch. OU
starter Paige Parker struck
out the next hitter, but a
wild pitch and throw to first
to complete the out allowed
Krzysko to hustle around
for Arkansas’ run.
with two RBIs and a run scored and Sooner
Vanhook had an RBI triple and scored a run
for Wister. Kyla Brown (29-8) got the win,
tossing a five-hitter.
In the first victory over Sallisaw-Central,
Wister scored once in the first inning and
three runs in the second for a 4-0 lead.
After the Lady Tigers cut the deficit in
half at 4-2 in the third inning, the Lady
Wildcats put the game away with a pair of
three-run innings in the sixth and seventh
innings.
For the game, Brown was 4-for-5 with
an RBI double, a triple, two RBIs and two
runs scored, Lynn was 3-for-4, Gibson
was 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a run
scored, McMillin was 2-for-4 with an RBI

an RBI and Kinzie Wood was 2-for-4 with

Fixing your 'chunk' chip shots
Chip shots around the

A poor set-up can be a

The fallout of pre-National Football League Draft trade between Titans, Rams
With less than two weeks before the first night of the
National Football League Draft, most teams have finalized
their draft boards. narrowing down their prospective list
of rookies to around 100 players based on talent, need and
when they expect that player to come off the board.
With no inclination as to what direction the Tennessee
Titans were heading with the No. 1 overall pick, it left the
rest of the league in reaction mode knowing what they did
affected everyone else’s board — but not nearly as much
as the Cleveland Browns with the No. 2 overall pick, as
the Browns would presumably draft the first quarterback
as the Titans took QB Marcus Mariota last year.
However, the Los Angeles Rams made waves throughout the NFL last week, disrupting draft boards and mock
drafts as they sent a slew of draft picks to Tennessee in
exchange for the No. 1 pick. Thus, heading into Thursday
night’s draft, I want to briefly go over the implications of
that trade for both the Rams and Titans, and its affect on
the rest of the draft.
Tennessee Titans — The team that was walking into
the draft with the first pick overall now has six picks in the
first 67 picks, thanks to their trade allowing them to stockpile young talent. With Marcus Mariota entering his second year alongside wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham,
veteran tight end Delanie Walker, former Cowboy run-
ning back Demarco Murray and a defense that was stingy
against the run, the Titans should be able to compete in the
AFC South as their young talent grows together. I wouldn’t
expect the Titans do anything splashy with their first-round
pick, but perhaps sure up their offensive line with a guard
or right tackle to pair with tackle Taylor Lewan.
Los Angeles Rams — Don’t forget they moved back
to southern California after the last season ended. The assumption is the Rams traded up to get the No. 1 overall
pick in Thursday’s NFL Draft so they would get the quarterback they wanted, whether its North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz or California’s Jarred Goff of California. With
a gaping hole at the signal caller spot, it would be asinine
of the Rams to give up so much draft capital and not take
either of the two. Whoever they draft, that player is stepping into a hornet’s nest as they’ll be the face of a franchise
with all of the eyes of southern California watching while
facing the toughest division in all of football.
The Rest of the NFL — With the Los Angeles Rams
trading up to get the draft’s No. 1 overall pick, it put the
Cleveland Browns in a situation knowing they didn’t have
their choice of quarterback, ultimately deciding Wednesday to trade down so that the Philadelphia Eagles could
move up. With the Eagles moving up, the Philadelphia
brass must be certain the Rams aren’t taking the quarter-

Option

Bennetzen
back they want so that they can draft Jared Goff. The next
domino to fall will be the Dallas Cowboys with the fourth
overall pick in Thursday night’s draft. Dallas should end
up with running back Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott in their
lap, and also how long until quarterback Paxton Lynch
goes off the board. The obvious team to draft Lynch would
be the New Orleans Saints so as to start grooming Drew
Brees’ replacement, but this team needs to start addressing their defensive efficiencies before thinking about postBrees three years down the road.

Pick your strategy and do things
your way. The less dependent
you are, the more you will
accomplish. Pay attention to
detail, and finish what you start.
Believe in your ability to enforce
reforms that will lead to success.
Follow your intuition when
dealing with personal and
professional relationships.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Your astute way of dealing
with people and projects will
result in recognition. Use the
platform you are given to market
what you have to offer. Don't be
afraid to be different.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Choose simple, subtle ways to
enhance your appearance. Group
involvements will put you in a
precarious position. Don't follow
someone who doesn't share your
morals and ethics.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- Take a chance on something or
someone who offers an
experience you've never had
before. Learn as you go and
incorporate what works for you
into your everyday routine.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
-- Look for offers that will get
you moving in a new direction.
Sharing your plans with people
who are as passionate as you are
will lead to achievements far
beyond your expectations. Love
is on the rise.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Take on a new interest or take
part in an adventure that
encourages you to interact with
goal-oriented individuals. Refuse
to let someone hold you back or
weigh you down with demands.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Procrastination will be just as
detrimental
as
impulsive
behavior. Find a balance that
allows you time to think, but
also a deadline that must be met.
Trust
in
your
intuitive
intelligence.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Emotions will surface, and, if
channeled properly, will lead to
an adventure you won't want to
miss. Delve into something
unfamiliar and see where it leads.
Enjoy the ride.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
-- Spend some money on your
residence. You can make a move
or change the dynamics of your
household by adding a new pet
or roommate or pursuing
different living arrangements.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Listen to and share information
with people you hold in high
regard. A personal investment
will add to your assets and
position you for success. Host a
romantic evening for two.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- A change is as good as a rest.
If you are tired of your current
job or position, alter your routine
or enhance your skills and overall
marketability.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Find a unique way to invest
and make your money grow.
Expand your interests and look
for groups or individuals who
can help make your dreams come
true.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Keep busy. Take up a new
hobby or challenge yourself to
get fit and ready to take on the
world. Celebrate the new you
with a loved one.

Sense & Sensitivity
DEAR HARRIETTE: One of
my friends is a gorgeous woman.
I always appreciate her beauty inside and out - but have been
having an issue with some of the
photos she chooses to decorate
her home with. She has done
many nude photo shoots. These
photo shoots are with hired photographers, so they are solely in
her possession. However, she
hangs nude portraits of herself by
her fireplace, in upstairs hallways
and even in her bedroom. I myself
don't have a problem with this,
but I have two boys and don't
want them seeing my friend nude.
I try to not take my boys over to
her house frequently, and she has
recently started questioning
where they are.
I never want my children thinking that nude bodies are something to be ashamed of; I just do
not want them seeing my friend
in the nude. How can I tactfully
communicate this to my friend? I
don't want her thinking I don't
support her shoots.
– Don't Look Too Close,
Philadelphia, PA
DEAR DON'T LOOK TOO
CLOSE: Be upfront with your
friend. Tell her that you feel
uneasy about having your sons
view nude pictures of her. While
you certainly think that she is
beautiful and that it is her prerogative to display these pictures
if she chooses, explain that you
are uncomfortable about your
sons seeing someone they know
in the nude. Navigating sexuality
with children can be a challenge,
and you are doing the best you
can. For you, that means limiting
their exposure. If she gets upset,
so be it. You have every right to
limit what your boys see.
By
Harriette Cole
DEAR HARRIETTE: I
received the scare of my life yesterday when my 3-year-old
opened our front door by himself
and walked outside. I was moving laundry from the washer to
the dryer downstairs, and when I
came back up, he was gone. I
quickly found him running down
the street toward the park, but I
was so scared and angry. God
knows what could have happened
to my son.
I am angry at myself for letting
him see how the door is opened
and closed. He has clearly seen
my husband and me locking and
unlocking our front door and
learned what to do. My son is
under constant supervision until
we can figure out what to do. I
completely support adding locks
higher up on our door.
My husband is being incredibly
unsupportive. He isn't taking this
incident seriously at all! He just
said that we should be grateful
our son is smart. I can't believe
he doesn't feel as shocked and
angry as me. Am I overreacting?
I haven't told any of my friends
about the incident at the risk of
seeming like a bad mother.
– Runaway Toddler
DEAR RUNAWAY TODDLER:
What your husband may not
know is that you can be arrested
for allowing this to happen, or
your child could be taken from
you by Child Services. It is very
serious. You are absolutely right
to be concerned. And you need to
set up safeguards that will prevent your child from getting out
in the future. This includes teaching your child, even at his young
age, what he should and should
not do. Reinforce the rules
always.
