She should be on a sex offender registry. Really what she did to this vulnerable man is pure evil.

[@AnnButowski]

I do not believe she was “ evil” but she used incredibly poor judgement. I believe she was sincerely convinced the young man in question was brilliant and was using their form of facilitated written communication . It was highly accepted system used at that time, for people whom could not articulate their thoughts, ideas and feelings, in many teaching institutions for a while. She was a respected professor , Her own mother was well known as an innovative teacher for people with handicap’s.and this was a long term relationship she had with the young man , as well as having a friendship, his brother and mother. She was seriously misguided by her beliefs and possibly further persuaded by her growing emotional feelings for the young man.. And she maybe became besotted by her feelings for the young man. Magical thinking , in her mind d, was at play here! She wanted to “ save” the young man and be his everything.She is perhaps psychologically unwell and STILL needs treatment. But again, I do not think she is “ evil”. 15:26

[@islandblind]

As someone who is living with cerebral palsy, albeit in a fairly mild form, I find what this woman did to be horrific. People who are genuinely vulnerable need to be protected from people like this. At the same time, I hope that people don't automatically assume that everyone with CP is a potential victim who is incapable of deciding what he/she wants. I know people with cerebral palsy who are lawyers for example, while I have earned a pair of degrees in history and social work. I'm also very capable of telling someone to stop doing something that I don't want them to do. The point is that cases like this need to be judged on an individual level.

[@lisapeesalemonsqueezah3241]

In my opinion, the people taking her side and calling this ableism are the real ableists. While I agree that it would be ableist to assume based on appearances that a person lacks competence, there are no assumptions being made here. His intellectual disability is well documented. And most importantly, his inability to care for himself or understand language does not decrease his value or his personhood. He is a worthy human being regardless and I doubt the people who call this situation “ableist” can see that.

This is completely fucked up. I love how, in the documentary, her mom and herself insist that she's never hurt anyone. She traumatized Derrick, his family, and HER family. She's a delusional narcissist. She was wrapped up in a fantasy she created in her head and had no problem violating the rights of Derrick, cheating on her husband, destroying her family, and hurting Derrick's family. The fact she can't even pronounce "D-Man" properly just makes it so much worse. She crossed SO MANY boundaries. This woman is twisted and deserves life in prison.

@@ReynaBanx it’s the little signs that our intuition picks up on that just can’t be ignored, our intuition is always right! The “Daman” thing was her way to make him sound more upper-class and “intellectual”, I think

[@frogfoot89]

Yeah, when I saw the "D-man" name in the documentary my first thought was there's nothing shocking about the idea that someone might've called him that before. It's not an uncommon premise for a nickname, proving that FC doesn't work. I agree with the boundaries as well. She wasn't just a family friend that wanted to help- she was employed as an educator who as a scholar was his facilitator. Even if anyone believed in her delusions, there's still the power dynamic at play due to her role was to be his facilitator. Her mom and former clients who she's helped wanting to believe the best in her I can understand, as I imagine it can be difficult to come to terms with a loved one being a sex offender. However, at some point you need to face the facts that just because you love someone whose never hurt you/you've never seen hurt anyone doesn't mean they didn't do it. Regardless of their varying levels of denial, those people are also on the traumatized list. As you rightfully said, the woman is twisted and should've received life in prison.

[@Radb707]

Yeah that was messed up im glad someone else noticed she (and her mom) kept calling him Daman instead of Dee-Man AFTER his mom pronounced it for her. Then they interview the professor at the history class and she pronounced it Dee-Man as well. It was like she was trying to white it up and make it sound sophisticated.

She’s a zealot. Go find that Frontline special that Dr. John (the brother) referenced. The people who have bought into FC are pathologically fanatical. They think it’s some kind of miracle and that they are miracle workers.

[@frogfoot89]

Not to mention, she needed to stop being his facilitator. She was employed as an educator who was his facilitator to help him communicate. She was a scholar, and this was part of her career. If he had the intellectual capability to consent, there's still the power dynamic that if the "relationship" didn't end well that she can cut off his ability to communicate. If the focus really was on her genuine romantic interests and wanting to do the right thing, she needed to stop being his facilitator and hand that role over to someone else to pursue a romantic relationship (which really should've happened anyhow as soon as she realized she was developing feelings for him; proof that it was entirely selfish even if someone believed her delusions).

She genuinely enjoys talking about what she did to him. She smiles the entire time. Even during her trail and during sentencing she smiled, disturbing. I'm glad that she views people with disabilities as no different than anyone else, but what she did was predatory. Had nothing to do about caring for him.

Thank you so much for speaking out against FC. I'm on the spectrum and am consistently told that I am a "traitor" to the community because ABA helped me a lot, and I don't believe that it is abusive (even though there can be abusive ABA therapists, just like there can be abusive doctors or abusive teachers). Many of these people who have bullied me support facilitated communication, which I find to be incredibly ironic. ABA gave me the ability to communicate and advocate for myself and has scientific backing. The "evidence" against the therapy is often incredibly biased (e.g., sampling a bunch of people from a facebook group who hate ABA without even knowing what it is, and then claiming that 80% of people who go through ABA get PTSD from it). I'm genuinely tired of me and my family being accused of supporting child abuse, when FC has so many cases of abuse that no one wants to talk about. Recently, a family member of mine worked to overturn a bill that would allow FC in elementary schools. The FC "advocates" spun it to claim that the opposing side was "silencing" autistic children and denying them communication. Whether it's ABA, speech therapy, occupational therapy, etc...there are so many better ways to teach an autistic person how to communicate. And for what it's worth, one of the main proponents of FC (Dr. Bernard Rimland) became a vehement opponent of the practice when he realized there was no evidence behind it. That should tell you a lot about the validity of FC.

The parents' "reasoning" was to prevent any possibility of sexual abuse and assault by any of her caretakers. My group team and I argued that such an act is a vile and inhumane attempt that disregards the legal, ethical, and moral rights of a human being. It made me sick.

When she said intelligence is a social construct I would guess that she also assumes that so is consent.

[@nanettevantriesteharder2469]

Informed consent on a Ouija board you mean, I guess. Did her university IRB approve that in lieu of an oral, written, signed, and dated consent form by the patient and his guardians?

[@maxmeier532]

intelligence is by definition a social construct, as dependent on the common ideology in a society of what intelligence is, tests are constructed to measure it. She might be all the proof you need, do you think she's highly intelligent? She might have an IQ that was a lot higher than yours, chances are. What is the consequence regarding the value of IQ tests then.

[@nanettevantriesteharder2469]

@@maxmeier532 Intelligence is a social construct that is an idea that has been created, operationalized, and accepted by people in a society as a representation of reality. Because it is a construct, it can be measured and ordinally ranked on the IQ scale.

I think the brother said at her sentencing was perfect. Anna was trying to be the "shero", white savior.

[@flowerpower3618]

My friend has a severely disabled daughter who was molested by a female best friend. She really was her only friend ( but she was a predator) . It was very traumatic for her and the entire family felt so betrayed. Another friend , years later , who also had a disabled daughter ( living in a college dorm) , that was groomed by a female online that convinced her she was a lesbian and the control got so bad that she cut her off from her family. It was horrible for this family. Their hands were tied because of her civil rights and age

[@naev.3344]

Female sexual predators are the worse imo because they get too many passes because no one believes they are predators.

[@savethenacktschnecke]

Did i understand correctly that the disabled daughter visited college? In that case, her situation is hardly comparable with that of the man in the video. I have no idea what actually happened. But disabled people can of course explore their sexuality just like others (and are even more likely to care less about negative reactions), and "convinced her she's gay" is such a weird statement. Like how would they know what her actual sexuality is? Might as well be butthurt conservatives. Again, how would we know.

There’s a culture of sexualizing black men which I feel played a part in this. Young black men, even minors, are often not seen as young and in need of protection. There is a history of black men being fetishized and sexualized. I’m convinced that both the race and gender of the victim influenced the sentencing. This is horrendous

Evil has no skin color. Equally, evil has no gender. Stop playing the Victim Card! People like you are part of "the problem". Yet, there is a grain of truth in what you say. As Old Adams and Old Eves, all of us are inclined to be tribal and, in that state of mind, tend to become hostile, disdainful, or indifferent toward the "other tribes.". The Black Tribe is just as capable of being "evil" as the White Tribe. As for Anna, she's a Godless (morally self-directed) Atheist. Her Godless (morally self-directed) thoughts turned into Godless (self serving, self indulgent) feelings, which turned into Godless (moralless and self-serving) actions. The trajectory is predictable. Individually and collectively. Collective Godlessness leads to inhumane Marxism. This ideology might first go through "gentle" Socialism, but, trust this truth, it eventually leads to Marxist dominated Communism. As for the individual Atheists who resist evil, when enough of them gather into Marxism, the good and decent Atheists, who did not indulge thoughts and feelings that misuse and abuse others, who tesist evil, they too shall be hunted down and canceled, silenced, fined, imprisoned, or executed. By Godless inhumane Marxism. We must never forget the abuses of Religionists, but, let's also remember that inhumane Marxists murders more of their own than even their enemies. Mao and Stalin, both Godless Atheists, killed between them over 100 million of their own citizens! THEIR. OWN. CITIZENS. Our Creator has a plan for humankind, and He have us, each, aprox 100 years and, collectively, 6000 years to figure things out. Our time is actually up. 2029 - 2033, God returns, to restore law and order, justice and mercy, and prosperity of body, soul and spirit. While I appreciate the work of good and decent psychology professionals who examine the human soul (psyche means soul) and can be quote helpful to others, still, I think if I'm going to place my soul in someone's care, I'd make it, first, my Creator Savior and, second, flawed fallible and naturally self-serving mortal humans. The second has some merit, yes, but, ultimately, permanent lasting healing (not just behavior modification) comes from the Bible God, Jesus Christ. May you all be blessed with prosperity... Body, Soul and Spirit. May you all meet Jesus and be completely healed from self interest and the fear and pain that so often assaults us as we try to make sense of the world around us. I once knew nothing but tyranny and bullying from childhood onward. Learning about the man Jesus led me to wonder why He was called God. In time, as I searched for truth (in many wrong places, not unlike how I also looked for love in all the wrong places), Jesus introduced Himself to me. Imagine my astonishment. Today, Jesus commands me... with my permission. And, truthfully, He'd not have it any other way ❤ Many thanks to Todd Grande for tremendous insight into this horrible "hellish" situation. May all involved meet Jesus Christ and be comforted to know that, in spite of "Hell on Earth" increasing, Jesus returns soon. He will, ultimately, settle judgment upon those who went Godlessly their own way.

The field of social work - where most therapists get their start otw to getting their LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) is super easy, they practically give degrees away.

An LCSW enables them to sell themselves as "therapist" I call it "the rapist" And yea, the PhD programs are ridiculously easy. I know some really dumb PhDs in this field.

I didn't sleep with her, but she was pretty.
