Hetero Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 10:53 AM
That nice straight couple who were running a baby-sitting service out of their home? Actually baby-raping child pornographers. Ugh:
Stephen E. Quick, 31, and Samantha Light, 25, both of Veedersburg, were arrested on March 5 after a young girl told her mother that the couple had touched her inappropriately and photographed her while she was being baby-sat at their home on Feb. 28.... Deputies seized several computers, cameras, a video camera, pornographic materials, drugs and drug paraphernalia during an initial search of the couple's home, said Fountain County Sheriff's Department Deputy Bob Kemp.They also found a videotape that showed several sexual acts involving both Quick and Light and at least four different children between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old, Kemp said.
Several sex toys that appeared in the video were seized during a second search of the couple's residence, police said.
Quick and Light have a daughter of their own—their child is in foster care now. And Mr. Quick wins the award for Most Revolting Fashion Statement By An Accused Child Rapist for the t-shirt he was wearing at the time of his arrest:

Jesus Christ. Jesus. Christ. At first I thought this must be in Inditucky, south of I-70. But it's not. Veedersburg is near Yeddo, Steam Corner, and Coal Creek on the western side of the state. Why, it's practically Illinois.
Some people.
Some people.

Holy shit. That is so terrible I had never even thought of it as being a possibility -- I mean you think yes, bad or neglectful child care givers of course are a possibility, but child pornographers? Good christ...

Luckily for the cause of justice, many child rapists like these are stupid enough to film and photograph themselves committing the criminal act, thereby providing the prosecution with all the evidence they need to lock them up.

As revolting as this is and I do hope they lock up for life these two monsters, I find equally disturbing that Dan sorta finds some sick pleasure in looking for these kind of revolting stories. Just to advance his ideology. When will he be upfront about his true intentions? I'm not holding my breath.

6. Do you want him to show up at your door to explain it on a 5th grade level, with visual aids so you can get it?

@6,
Try reading last week's E.C.D.A. Mother and a Father post. He explained himself there.
Oh, I'm not sure what you mean about his "ideology", these posts are more about his disgust with hypocrisy.

If one of Dan's intentions is to show that straight couple pose a danger to children and that allowing gay people to adopt will cause no more harm then I agree with him.
As for the creeps in the picture. I think the man should have to wear that shirt evey day in prison.

@6 i am convinced you are mentally ill, please seek help. you psychology suggests someone who is either seriously abused or an abuser. get help, get some resolution.

Not to be prejudiced on the basis of appearance (and certainly not to engage in blame the victims), but I cannot imagine leaving any of my children with that man for ten seconds, even if the entire police department were present and watching.

And until we understand and fix the problem as to why they thought this would be a great idea it's never going to stop. Put them in jail make them stare at a wall in a dark cell in the hopes that magically one day they'll wake up and realize what they've done is wrong. Nothing says we fixed the problem like putting these people in a facility where they can meet more and worse people while being stuck with them for years at a time.

@13, why is it society's responsibility to fix these sick fucks? these people are competent enough to think of this whole sick fucking plan, they're competent enough to know this is wrong. personally, i don't want my fucking taxes to pay for these sick fuck's therapist when it could be paying for something good. it's their responsibility to get the help they need BEFORE they do something like this. but they didn't, and they did this. fuck these sick sons of bitches. let them fucking rot.
16
these two completely challenge my staunch anti-death penalty stance...i am completely disgusted. and @6, really? framing this idea that a man and woman are best qualified to raise children vs. two people of the same sex is necessary for the fight many same sex couples are put up to fight BACK at. get over it and get lost.

@12,
Indeed. At a minimum, he looks like a phenomenal idiot who wouldn't think twice about setting down a cup of scalding hot coffee next to a rambunctious toddler.

Please donate to a reputable child rescue organisation. It's how you can help instead of feeling helpless.

Bravo to the little girl who told her mother what was going on and saved herself and the other children from further abuse. Every parent needs to make sure their child understands telling a trusted adult when someone touches them inappropriately or otherwise makes them feel uncomfortable. Kids also need to understand not to believe threats adults might tell them to keep a secret. I'm so glad this little girl did the right thing.

This was in my home town. Veedersburgs very small and nothing happens. I am involved with the Police Department and I had never even heard of these two people until this happened. They were quiet about what was going on, i could walk by the house and not hear a sound. Every now and then i could walk by and see a child get picked up. From seeing a child get picked up and see Quick and Light stadning outseide there home with a smile. It's beyond words. Nobody would have thought this could happen. But it did. ANd may god be with those children. I wish the courts could just offer the death sentence. Because these two have nothing to live for anymore. Their disgusting, disrespectful and sickening people. may god be with the children nd families. and may god judge these two.
