^^ That's a perspective that also that for me needs more explaining to understand.

I don't get why a parent refuses to let their kids talk to the police. They feel they're protecting them but in the meantime another kid could be taken and in the end can be worse off for the kid. I don't get that.

I just think it'd be interesting to see someone who was abused as a child in a position like you said - either abuser, or helping abusers. A throwback to an early episode, & a way of showing where people can go after experiencing abuse. Even if it is just the one instance. Sometimes it can also be due to what happens after, like the parent sheltering the child & probably would continue refusing to talk about it & wanting to bury it. That wouldn't be a good thing for the child, so she'd probably be left with issues that are unresolved & feelings she doesn't feel like she can express. So what would she be like as an adult?

I do & don't get it. I can understand wanting to protect the child from the negative experience & reliving it. Especially if you're watching your child in pain, upset about it. But if it means someone else might get hurt because you aren't letting the police talk to your child? That's hard to understand or accept

^ It could even be a case of 'Stockholm syndrome' that never left even though the perp is in jail. The child grew up with the inner turmoil of wanting to protect the abuser.

This is exactly it.

Possibly. It would at least affect how the child opens up & lets people in & responds to bad things & things that hurt her in the future.

Bigger picture needs to be found sometimes

. Olivia knows what she's doing talking to children

I do like that later seasons have some recurring characters. But I always wanted more of seeing people or perps that weren't caught or got off.

His episode was a doozy. And he played it so well. He was so proud of himself.

She's a judge, right? I really liked her dynamic with the ADAs on SVU.

I loved Stamos' role because it was so outside of what we know him for as "Uncle Jesse" on Full House. It was great to see him in something so different.

That'd be really interesting to see too. The world isn't perfect, unfortunately there's a lot of people out there who get away with crimes. It is good to show the good & the bad in life.

Yes. Judith Light played Elizabeth Donnelly

While they do seem to still reuse judges, I don't seem to notice so much now?

There are more episodes than I realized that ended with the perps getting off. So those would be some perfect storylines to revisit because they did it again and they can get 'em!

***shinebrighterxx*** · 04-24-2023, 01:00 AM

Yeah there possibly is more than you remember/realise

That'd be really interesting if they could do that too

. Bring them back, get them this time

Or have one of those episodes that is so 'misleading' to us as a viewer, where we're seeing the tale end of court proceedings and they're 'not guilty'.

Then it says, 3 weeks prior....

And it goes back to a UC job and and the perp...then we see the court room again and the guy just found 'not guilty', exits the courtroom to only be charged with a different crime from the UC op.
