Child grooming is a deliberate process by which offenders gradually initiate and maintain sexual relationships with victims in secrecy. Grooming allows offenders to slowly overcome natural boundaries long before sexual abuse occurs. On the surface, grooming a child can look like a close relationship between the offending adult, the targeted child and (potentially) the child's caregivers.

Leigh Ann, sit down and look at this for a minute. I plop down on the couch.

Dad, what is this?

It's a movie, see how she sucks it like a lollipop?

That's gross.

      It is so funny to me that as a “spears” woman I could have easily been targeted by either of these men my WHOLE, let me repeat that for the dumbasses in the back, MY WHOLE, entire life and NEVER one felt anything but safe with them! Bark up somebody else’s tree... you never did anything but beg for him to love you... is this revenge? It’s selfish... Get out of here with your bullshit..

    So sad to see that disgusting family continue trying to protect these men. The world can see that Spears men are bankrupt abusive drunks. I'm happy you're speaking for yourself I hope sharing brings you healing and know you are heard and believed!

Look at this sweet, little innocent girl, I had no idea what life had instore for us, I didn't choose to be molested and treated like an afterthought. So, the haters and the disbelievers, can say whatever you want. After all, I gave twenty six years of my life to the Navy, so you could have that right. This was not a cross I was meant to carry, but in the end, I triumphed!

           It's all about control - June Austin wanted to control me - I was not allowed to be a normal teenager. Fast forward years, after I ran away from home, I went to visit Lynne and Jamie. Me and him got into a heated discussion: Him - just come back home and you can work for me. And even though most, if not all, of my sibling on the Spears' side did work for him, I didn't want to. Me - I don't want to stay in Kentwood and work for you. Him - No, you just want to continue to be promiscuous (not the word he used and I was). Me - I slapped him.     I was then manhandled by Jamie to the gravel road and told that I was not welcome there. June Austin picked me up. Great, from one nightmare to the next. Jamie was pissed because I spoke my mind and tried to hold my ground. I wouldn't let him control my life and I knew that I had to stay away and regroup.
