I am outraged that this richest woman in the country who claims to be a savior of African girls and many other things could be so shameless and insensitive to ask the parents(on national TV) of the abducted boy from Mo if they think their son was sexually molested knowing full well that the parents had told people they didn't want to ask the boy what happened.
I know it sure made GOOD TV and the boy's parents are partly to be blamed. But where is the journalistic integrity and just basic, common decency???

Just so you know, I don't watch TV, I read about this in the news and on Yahoo. I don't care what words she used to ask the parents. AS A HUMAN BEING, SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE FAMILY ALONE TO BEGIN WITH. THAT IS IF SHE HAS ANY SENSE OF COMMON DECENCY,NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE PARENTS ALSO APPEARED TO BE IN IT FOR THE FAME AND MONEY.
yes of course anyone with a common sense would quess what probably happened during the four years, but to drag it on to national TV, is simply an exploitation of such tragedy. Just because many many unfortunate children and families have been victims of this crime does not justify anyone, including your Madame St. Oprah, to profit from it!!!

OPRAH used to be a lot better. The richer she gets it does seem she has lost touch with the " little people" . she can have some good stuff on her shows sometimes , but i dont think she really GETS IT anymore about the poor people in America. although it is really great what she is doing in africa. But anwyay she is also too snobby to let ICE CUBE on her show he been calling her for years. Seems like now she caters more to the Rich snob crowd. I miss when she was a role model for fat girls and poor ppl. anyway i havent read about this article but from what im gathering either A) she wanted ratings and was in the wrong or B) she was genuinely interested and thought asking mgiht help viewers out there.... guess YOU DECIDE. cause i donno. what an intresting topic though it is good to know im not the only one who thinks oprah has been kinda going to crap a little bit. Also i think she is anorexic i know shes bigger than a normal anreoxic but she has been fat all her life there is no way she is stayin that skinny unless she is starvin herself. my metabolims is like hers real;ly slow so i know she has to be doin something drastic. she would have normally gained all the wegiht back by now. aslo she is so snobby and is in all good with the other snobby celebrities.

Oprah only asked the parents what they THINK happened. She didn't ask the boy what happened, which is exactly what the parents wanted. Nobody asking the boy what happened.
Oprah doesn't claim to be a savior of Africa girls. Other people claim she is. She never said "Oh I, Oprah, is the savior of African girls."
She's only trying to get to the bottom of this. And the parents told people that they (the parents) did not want to ask the boy what happened. That is respected. But Oprah can ask the boy what happened. And Oprah can ask the parents what happened. The parents don't know, so that's why Oprah uses the word "THINK".
Do you think your child was sexually molested? is different from "Was your child sexually molested?" There's a big difference.
Know your facts.

She probably regrets that now. Have anything you regret doing or saying? Oprah is a journalist, but she isn't a mom and will never "get it". I'll betcha that if the parents didn't want that addressed, they would have made that area clear before they went on with the interview.

Oprah is so full of her self.. in her head.. she thinks she owns the world.. she thinks every1 loves her and those who dont are just people talking. She gives away stuff to feed herself with praise... It recharges her *********... Oprah will never learn, shes too good for us middle class people who are the only ones with the balls enough to call her out for it.
If your gonna call someone, call DONALD TRUMP and tell him to start bashing Oprah... Donald Trump is our inside man in the rich world... hes got the balls to call out sum too-good tv show host!
=D

oh Please....Their child was with this nut ball for four years...... what so you think happens ?......... he took them to church or to the zoo....and only that?
please millions of children are taken every year.... and unfortunatly this is one of the few that are found alive... most are found killed and raped.
which is the sad fact !!!!! I'm sure she was glad that if he was one of these kinds of people that the child was returned home, and a child sexual abuser was off the streets, giving us one less pervert to worry about.

It's Oprah. One of the most useless and self-absorbed people to ever walk the planet. Why watch her?
