  • Why Did Jen Soto Allow Stephan Sterns To Sleep With Maddie Soto, Her Daughter?

    Why Did Jen Soto Allow Stephan Sterns To Sleep With Maddie Soto, Her Daughter?
    Jun 19 2024
    In this chilling conversation, the focus is on the disturbing behavior of mothers who allow heinous acts to occur within their families. The question arises: Why do these mothers permit such atrocities? Perhaps they grew up in environments where similar behavior was normalized, blurring their perception of right and wrong. These mothers may have been victimized themselves, leading to a skewed understanding of love and boundaries. The interview delves into the twisted mindset of sex offenders who manipulate children, convincing them that their actions are expressions of love. Despite the horror, these offenders often present as ordinary individuals, concealing their dark secrets.
    Main Points:

    1. Distorted Perception: Some mothers allow abusive behavior because they were raised in homes where it was normalized. Their internal radar fails to recognize the severity of the situation.
    2. Survival Justification: Like survivors of lesser childhood traumas, some mothers justify their children’s abuse, believing it’s acceptable due to their own survival experiences.
    3. Grooming Techniques: Offenders groom victims by framing abuse as a loving form of expression. They convince children that their actions are part of a special bond.
    4. Warped Beliefs: Sex offenders often rationalize their behavior, claiming love as their motivation. They present as normal individuals while harboring dark secrets.
    5. Self-Deception: Some offenders genuinely believe their own distorted narratives, blurring the line between right and wrong.
