Despicable Mother of the Year Award: Christine Leaf

“Even wild jackals nurture their babies, give them their breasts to suckle. But my people have turned cruel to their babies, like an ostrich in the wilderness.”Lamentations 4:3 (The Message)

Yesterday the rape trial for Ernest Willis began in Concord, NH.  Tina (Dooley) Anderson was 15 when she was raped by Ernest Willis.  At the last-minute, Ernie Willis, admitted to the bare minimum that he did have consensual sex with Tina that resulted in her pregnancy. Tina was 15 at the time.  Willis should not get kudos for doing what he couldn’t get out of.

Tina Anderson was the first to testify.  Ernest Willis’ defense attorney, a woman, set up a large white tablet and asked Tina to recall her menstrual cycle from 14 years ago.  The defense attorney, Donna Brown, line of questioning was uncalled for.  Ernest Willis had already admitted, it is confirmed by DNA, that he is the father of Tina’s child she gave up for adoption.

Chuckles would like to thank some ladies helped Chuckles out by explaining this to a man who doesn’t worry about those things.

“I don’t remember my cycles from G. That was 5 years ago. 6, I guess. Do you REMEMBER (gentlemen, just excuse us here) how dingy we all were at 15? Good grief. I don’t think I even got the hang of it until I was married.” ~C

“Even if a 15-year-old were writing it down, why would she keep records of her cycles this long?!?!?! No woman does that!!!! To quote Tina Anderson, “Give me a break!” I’m praying the jury will.” ~W

I was actually hoping Tina would ask that defense attorney, “…do you remember the dates of yours from when you were 15?” ~W

To add further insult and emotional pain, Tina’s mother Christina Leaf took the stand.  Tina sobbed in the gallery when her mother was asked if she supported Tina responded:

“I only support the truth, not a lie.’’

Christine Leaf testified that her daughter ‘gave her a hard time’. She was ‘stubborn’. Christine admits her daughter had good grades and says she was not aware of any boyfriends or dating.   She testified that sending Tina out-of-state to have her baby “was my idea.” Christine Leaf at first testified that she wanted her daughter to move to Colorado to have a better life. Minutes later she stated,

“I needed to get her out of the house because she was very mean to me.”

Mrs. Leaf appears to be the most selfish woman.

Poor Mrs. Leaf, her daughter was raped by a trusted family friend, get’s pregnant, is not believed by her mother and the powerful pastor of her church.

Poor Mrs. Leaf, her daughter is mean to her after her 16-year-old daughter is made to stand before 100’s of people while her pastor read a letter that Tina was made to write, apologizing for “putting herself in compromising situation,” and getting pregnant.

Poor Mrs. Leaf,  takes back, lives with the monster that she knows molested her daughter, and had beaten both her children, after he is released from prison because she “needed him.”

Poor Mrs. Leaf, continues to attend the same church with her daughters rapist for many years.

Poor Mrs. Leaf sends her daughter hundreds of miles away to live with strangers, when Tina begged to go stay with her grandparents.

Poor, poor Mrs. Leaf you, “needed to get her out of the house because she [Tina] was very mean to me.”

Mrs. Leaf, we get it, you’re the victim.  Poor, poor Mrs. Leaf who made the decision not to protect her own daughter from first your child rapist husband, then the degenerate who likes to rape teenage girls, nor the pastor.  Poor, poor you.

Mrs. Leaf also testified that it was Tina’s sole decision to give her baby up for adoption as Tina sobbed and had to be consoled in the gallery.  Mrs. Leaf testified if she had her way, Tina would have kept the baby.

Christine Leaf’s husband Daniel Leaf is a registered sex offender.  He served 7 years in prison for molesting a child in a McDonald’s bathroom.  While he was in prison, Tina told her mother, Christine Leaf, about Daniel Leaf molesting her.  Before that, Daniel Leaf went to prison for a year and a half for felony child abuse.  He had severely beaten both Tina and her brother.

Mrs. Leaf’s response?  She took her daughter to Pastor Phelps for “counseling.”  According to Tina, she was told she needed to forgive her step-father.  Tina was then taken to the prison where she was told she needed to “forgive and forget” what her step-father had done to be right with God.  Before the trial, Tina’s mother has claimed she was told to do this not by Chuck Phelps but by social workers as part of a family reunification plan.  Chuckles has spoken to eight different child advocates, social workers, who work with Children who have parents in prison.  ALL had practiced in the 1990’s responded, even in the 1990’s, this was not recommended.

For those who doubt that Pastor Phelps may have told Tina and her mother to do this or not.  The type of pastoral Counseling taught at Pastor Chuck Phelps alma mater, tends to blame the victim.  Survivors of physical and sexual abuse are often told that unless they forgive their abuser, God will not hear their prayers.

In their view, forgiveness is not a destination one gets to after working through 5-7 levels, it is demanded as the starting point.

Tina, if you read this, I apologize in advance for what needs to be said about your mother.

Mrs. Leaf, you’re a pathetic human being.
