Mary Kay Laturno sickens me

[JerseyJanice]

She fell in love with a child, and he in turn fell in love with her, a woman old enough to be his mother.

O.K. I can accept that.

But to have and enjoy this affair, she deprived four children she already created of their mother. Then to boot, she gave birth to two more.

Do any of these six children have a mother they can feel proud of? Were any of them even raised by her? Was she ever "there" in any way, shape or form for any of them?

Has she ever done "right" by a single one of them?

What kind of mother disregards her young children's lives as much as she apparently has?

Honestly, she could have had affairs with younger guys until the cows came home, for all I care. But she involved six innocent lives in the process.

Not cool at all by my standards.

You hit the nail on the head. I think this is what disturbs me the most....as a mother and a human being.

ETA: the fact that she RAPED a 12 year old child disturbs me greatly....but my heart hurts for her children.

 

[Freesia]

She is obviously not a mentally stable woman..

I agree completely. I can't imagine wishing a former rapist "happiness" when going to marry the kid they raped.

 

[lulugirl]

I find the whole situation creepy.

 

[Tiggeroo]

The boy's mother bothers me almost as much as MaryJane. She seemed to permit the affair to continue. If it was my child I would have removed him far from this woman while he was still young enough that she had some chance to have an effect on him. He would have been in heavy duty counseling. And he wouldn't have continued to see him (at least with my permission). He was still a minor while he was visiting her in the prison, I believe.
I think that her ability to be responsible for young children should have been called into question. She gave birth to one child, went to prison where another was born and was allowed to give them to her underaged boyfriend and his mother to raise. That just doesn't feel right.

 

[MrsKreamer]

Hey- I'm not saying it's "right" but they are adults now. I think she's mentally ill but if Villi wants to marry her there's nothing anyone can do about it.

As far as the stigma goes, I don't know a single person who thinks what she did was okay.

Her other 4 children are better off without her.... their Dad seems to have done a good job keeping them out of the spotlight.

Actually I have heard from quite a few men, that if their boy was "banging" his teacher, he would be proud. So yeah I know quite a few people who don't think it was sexual abuse just b/c of their genders.

She is obviously not a mentally stable woman. A bit of info on her. When she was I believe 9yo her mother had her watch her little brother. She didn't pay attention, he wandered into the pool and drowned.
Her upbringing was very strict and her parents had the children removed from their schools to avoid sex ed. Then her father was found to be having a series of affairs. This culminated in a woman becoming pregnant. The woman was a student or former student of his and much younger. He was a very well known person with political ambitions so this was very public knowledge and he had to remove himself from an election he was running for.
Her husband was continually unfaithful thruout their marriage.
This does not excuse anything she did. I just know that when I read this info it changed my thoughts about her to some degree. She had a series of things happen to her that probably created some serious mental problems.

I don't plan to research to see if what you say is true, however, if these things DID happen in her life, and IMHO what I saw of her on tv for just a few short minutes......I think mental illness is a very real "excuse" on her part, and probably the boys as well.

People with mental illness or severe dysfunction in their lives often don't carry out the moral lives we want them to.

We can't force people to behave "normally"........what is normal anyway? My own child doesn't live what I consider to be a normal life by any stretch of the imagination, and nothing and nobody has ever been able to change the way she thinks about things. Sometimes people are just different, very very differernt.

Wow so true!

 

[JerseyJanice]

Tiggerroo, I see your point entirely, but wonder whether there were some cultural differences behind whatever reasoning Vili's mother came up with.

Regardless, I think when you become a mother, you give up your identity and--to some extent--your needs until your child(ren) get old enough to fend for themselves. It's just part of the "Mommy" job IMO--especially when it comes to sex.

MKL's children were all quite young when she embarked on the affair. I believe her oldest is only a year or two younger than Vili. How a mother in her 30's could look at a boy that close to her own child's age and want to do anything with him is beyond me.

And as bad as it was for her first four children, she had to bring two more kids into the mix.

Totally whacko world. I hope and pray those kids turn out O.K. in spite of the actions of their mother.

 

[EsmeraldaX]

She is disgusting! I can only imagine the "outrage" that would be expressed if she had been a man and her student a girl. I don't think their interview would be sought after then!

I agree. She makes me ill.

 

[Nancy]

I did turn the channel as soon as I saw them being interviewed. Yes, she committed a crime and did her time...but while out on parole she went against court orders and saw him again, they found them in a car...that's when she got pregnant with #2. So back to jail she went. What happens if she finds some other young boy that she is attracted to? I feel that if you have those tendencies they are not going to just dissappear. That's why so many pedophilles are repeat offenders...they can't help themselves...it's a sickness. If she hasn't received the proper treatment and doesn't continue to receive treatment I can see it happening again.

Good point and quite scary. She should certainly be monitored. I would imagine there isn't alot of research out there on women who do this. We have seen that men generally re-offend.

 

[momof2inPA]

I wonder what her 4 previous children think about her marriage.....

Her oldest son was interviewed on tv. He said that he forgives his mom and will be attending the wedding.

 

[TDC Nala]

They were creepy enough before they sold the rights to their wedding.

 

[Mermaid02]

Does anyone REALLY think that this situation never happens in the reverse? I'm sure there are cases of men having sex with 12 or 13 or 14 year old girls, going to prison and marrying when the girl is of legal age. They don't make the news because they weren't as "sensational" as this case.

It creeps me out that anyone could look at a 12 year old in that way.... but he isn't 12 anymore. I hope he is happy with the decisions he has made in his adult life.

I hope MKL doesn't repeat her behavior with anyone else.... I hope she is getting the mental help she needs/has needed all along. I hope ALL of her children get the counseling the MUST need.

 

[s&k'smom]

I think the problem I have with this is that ET is making it sound like a celebrity wedding scoop. Treating them like they were famous for acting or something. That their "love" is so precious that they deserve all this publicity. I can see both points to the sides but IMHO neither of them are very healthy individuals and have some serious MH problems. What's gonna happen when the cameras are gone and the settle into life. Is anyone really gonna hire them for a job? How are they gonna support their kids, find a place to live. She is a registered sex offender who's gonna rent her an apt.?

I agree with you!! Although MKL can not profit from her crime.... her "husband" as the victim can. I predict a book. I also predict I would rather chew glass than read it.

I think Villi already wrote a book. Like I said before in this thread, men raping young girls happen so often we don't hear about it, it's not headline news. I'm not as outraged that some people don't think what MKL did was a crime, but that we have become so accustomed to this same crime happening to young girls it doesn't even make the front pages of local papers. let alone the national news.

 

[bdcp]

So, basically she's being rewarded for what she did to her children, her ex husband, and Villi and his family. I don't care that they're both adults now. That has nothing to do with what she did to him. And, any father who would be proud of his son "being with" (I'm not gonna use the word the poster used) his teacher as one person put it, is just as sick as MKL. We've taught our boys (now grown) to respect all women. I also dont' care what her upbringing was. She was a married mother of 4 children. She knew it was illegal. How does it even get to that point? I'm disgusted that the media is even interviewing them. It's become: "Let's make a dollar off of this and who cares what happened before?" Everyone should be concerned. And the fact total strangers are sending them gifts and "supporting" the age difference floors me because that's not what this is really about. Did you hear she also said sex belongs in marriage? I doubt she's following her own advice even now. She came across to me like a child. I hope they have money in the bank for their daughters' therapy. They're going to need it.

 

[toto2]

yes. And then like many male sex offenders, she repeated her crime.

No , he was an adult when she came out of prison , so , no crime there.
