"Glee" star Mark Salling commited suicide after child **** allegations ...

[Willco 351]

Did he actually PAY to encourage people to abuse children and send him the videos? 

[Tokyo Rose 1,475]

Maybe he was going to expose Ryan Murphy or someone "important" and was murdered. 

There's no telling who could of had a motive to kill him. Remember his CP court case was still pending...

You can't just say someone committed suicide and be done with it, things have to be investigated properly.

But when there a systems in place that are used to HELP these types of mental disorders, then suicide just seems barbaric. There’s a reason why pedophilia is considered a mental disorder in the scientific community. Why should we promote suicide when we can promote getting better? I just don’t understand y’all... 

because suicide works 100% of the time and the only thing that matters is the kids first first first before anything else.

please dont compare it with anxiety and bipolar disorder. its not the same. he raped kids. he paid parents so he could raped their kids. he wasnt remorseful until he got caught when his girlfriend ratted him out. its like sympathizing someones urge to kill and saying it was a mental disorder blah blah. no just no. he shouldve gotten the help he needed waaay before. but he acted on his evil and disgusting desires. and i never said he deserved to die. please point out where i said that. you must be tripping bcuz i dont ****ing see it. i was saying it crazy to see how people are coming  to his defense and trying to sympathize with him. and we all know the only reason is cuz he was on a popular tv show that everyone loved. i dont see anyone defending harvey wentsein? i dont see anyone defending larry nassar? he's on the same boat as all of them. and if yall are going to sympathize with him, sympathize with all of those men. or else you're a hyproctite

Look, I know this is a very tricky discussion. I wasn’t trying to say depression and anxiety are the same as pedophilia (I suffer from both, so I know for a fact that what I’m going through is NOT that same as what pedophiles’ minds go through because these are very different mental disorders), I was just trying to convey that it is still in fact a mental disorder, which means it can be treated. I wasn’t trying to come for you or anything with the “deserve to die” comment, I’ve just seen many member in here saying that he deserves it. I apologize for grouping you in with them. And again, I’m not trying to defend him. I think he took the easy way out and now justice won’t be served properly. As I said before, he should have owned up to his actions and gone to prison (which I feel wasn’t long enough, like, a 4-7 year sentence for what he did seems too light, a couple of decades would have been better) because, even the court wanted him to seen psychological help (according to the court documents). Even the courts knew that he’s hella ****ed up in the head. I don’t care that he used to be famous. I don’t care that he was in Glee. What I care about is the amount of people thinking suicide was the right thing to do, and the amount of people who don’t see pedohilia as a mental disorder.

but not everyone has that amount of discipline  thankfully, they are researching all sorts of theraputic ways and non-harmful alternatives to help keep them away from harming any children, through the use of VR technology etc

This I agree, and it’s a good thing. What I meant is that imo right now it’s the only viable solution, and I think those people with low self control are the ones to blame, sadly

That's rude, no matter of what allegations he had, nobody deserved to die, people changes, most of them, and it's not even proven just yet if it's real or not, dont be rude on such serious topics as suicide.

He plead guilty? He had like a terabyte of child **** on his personal belongings, it's not just an allegation 

Anyways, this is a sad scenario for everyone involved. 

[LePetitGAGABLover 21,234]

This thread is messier than Trump

[BenH08 24]

no matter what he did, a suicide is such a sad time for family & friends. Disgusted by the allegations like everyone else but still very saddened by what has happened

I didn't knew he was an alleged pedophile. His co-star Cory Monteith died 2013, aged 31.

He wasn't alleged, he pleaded guilty. 

"He pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child ****ography involving a prepubescent minor and was scheduled for sentencing March 7."

 

[geopang 4,831]

The amount of hate is disgusting on here. Suicide is not something to joke about. Yes, he may have had child ****ography in his possession, and I'm not excusing that, but some of you are not considering that this man may have needed mental help. It's not like he was going out and sexually assaulting and murdering people. Where is your anger and catty insults when it comes to much more violent crimes such as that? 

[Slayer 9,227]

The thing is, yes I do think pedophilia is a mental illness and should be treated as such. But there are many pedophiles out there who control their urges and don't look at child p*rn. Mark Salling knowingly broke the law and contributed to the mental and physical harm of young children. He was a heinous human being and clearly only commited suicide because he got caught, not because of his conscience. He gets zero sympathy from me, although I do feel for his family.

[Andy McQueen 4,484]

You all have very different opinions and views on this. I'm going to read all of your arguments now and think about it. Thanks!

It seems he actually has victims - he paid for people to rape kids, film it and send to him, this is his collection.

He had folders with files, each file was the child's name.

He had a manual that he sent to people of "how to have sex with a 3 years old girls"

He paid 50k$ to each victim after he plead guilty.

This is his collection, not a bunch of random pics that he found on the dark web.. he REQUESTED them, like a side job that he had..

Omg, how horrible.  

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

People who have pedophilic urges are cursed for the rest of their lives. It’s not like a pedophile chooses to have those thoughts. Being a pedophile is not a career. We just happen to live in a cruel world that makes it easy for people with those thoughts to succumb to such heinous thoughts. Interner connection + not alot of money = easy access to chil p*rn. This is our world. Being angry at him won’t change the world.

I get it - BUT it’s still a mental disorder just as something like aggressive behavior (like domestic abuse, violent behaviors, etc.). Does any of it benefit society? No. The behaviors also hurt people BUT will locking them up and doing no mental treatment really help them or society??

That's why I'm only urging the scientists and doctors to deal with it. I never said they shouldnt get treatment either.
