BEWARE Sexual and child abuse stories mentioned in this thread.

There was some proud heart felt stories, then there was those infamous tearjerkers her and her producers tend to throw. What got me most was the woman who went on a gut instinct that helped two severely sexually assaulted children get freed from their prison. The couple that did these horrendous crimes were incarcerated and brought to justice. It hurt me when they were describing how the 5 year old little girl was severely sexually assaulted, and when they described to the assaulter of the wounds he had absolutely no remorse.

Then another story that got me even worse was the video of two men fishing a trash bag out of the river. They were hearing strange cries coming from the bag, when they fished it out and opened it, it was a 2 month old baby girl in a little pink dress. Her mother threw her into a river in a trash bag. Tore me up, the video showed the entire incident, creeped me out thinking how a mother could possibly do that.

Of course Oprah has her good episodes, but the ones you remember, and (sadly) intrigued by are the sad ones like the ones I mentioned above. Why is it that the human nature is interested in the disgusting, horrendous, and upsetting events of the world. It's in the media, news, talk shows.....everywhere.

I don't understand it, yet I continue to watch them shows, and read the newspapers. Do you ever wonder why?
