The touchy grandma's dead, the touchy grandpa's been arrested, and the full awful story is here....

So the grandparents must have been gay, right? No? Oh. hmm.

Taking pictures? All I know is that must have been an interesting trip to the Fotomat.

That's fucked on so many levels.

You don't really believe that, do you? (Though if she was alive, I suspect her lawyer would be arguing just that.)

Lasser If this is as reported, it's terrible. (That it happened, not that Grandpa Touchy was arrested.)

Without better descriptions of what the photos depict, I wonder if this isn't misinterpretation of something innocent.

I'm not saying it *is* something innocent, only that it's hard to tell without some more information. We're such a touchy and paranoid culture regarding children and sex that I can't help but wonder.

Of course, if this is as it seems, Grandpa should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, etc., etc.

Molesty grandpa is 58? And the granddaughter is now an adult? At minimum that puts the mom somewhere around late-30s...that's some early child-birthin' right there.
You just know someone did a number on the mom at some point, too.
