It was a step-father doing the abusing.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
The child-molesting episodes bleed together in my head. I try not to remember their details clearly, for self-preservation reasons.
Was this the one where they hauled in a network of people?
I think so. I turned it off when they were deciding to put the kid back in a room with his abuser in order to hopefully catch a bigger fish.
Oh, god, that one. It was horrible, and I hope an example of how the cops absolutely don't work.
They would never really do that...I think kids'parents are always supposed to be around when they're in the police station.
This was, if I recall, an undercover sting set up in the kid's house. So the parents were there, but the abuser was invited to dinner and they had to let it play out.
Or I could be conflating it with just about every other SVU episode.
I can't watch SVU. Every damn episode squicks me somewhere.
I got into it when I had no job and was starved for TV. It's not the crimes but the cops that bother me. Criminal Minds has way worse bad guys. But their good guys are Good. When they're not beating you to death, anyway. And if they do that, you deserved it.
I agree. Except for Munch, I still love him. But I quit watching cause they don't use him enough.
Oz fans note: apprarently Lee Tergesen is guest starring sometime soon.
