Though not much is known about Jeff Doucet’s early life, the scant information that exists suggests that he had a difficult childhood. Born around 1959 in Port Arthur, Texas, he grew up poor with six siblings. And Doucet later claimed that he’d been molested as a child.

By the time he was in his 20s, however, Doucet had started abusing children himself. He spent most of his days with children as a karate teacher in Louisiana and had the complete trust of all the kids’ parents.

You can see it right here. Doucet was a victim too. No one cares about that tho. They minimize it as if impossible. Imagine reversing that statement and suggesting that a female wasn't really abused. It wouldn't be acceptable.

Was what Doucet did right? Absolutely not.

If you understand what happens to a child who never feels safe and loved then you understand that they develop behavior simply to survive a terrible childhood which isn't helpful or acceptable in society. Imagine what kind of sick hurt Doucet suffered that drove him to this activity. If you can't, I'm happy for you. If you won't, then you're worse than Doucet imo.

Chances are Doucet was no different than Jody except he didn't have a family functional enough to help him. Then he was murdered before anyone even tried to help him and people cheer like it's solved some great societal problem. There's no hero here.

No, you are celebrating a Band-Aid over a bruise from internal bleeding.
