Born Innocent
by Creighton Brown Burnham
Made into a famous movie starring Linda Blair
Introduction by Sam Sloan
ISBN 4871876136
Born Innocent is a biographical account by the Superintendent of the
Tecumseh Girls Reform School in Tecumseh, Oklahoma. It is now called
the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center. It used to be called Girls Town
and various other names. It is an institution for disturbed teenaged
girls. This place was recently in the news because of a violent
outbreak similar to that depicted in the movie.
The book has only a small connection with the famous movie by the same
name, expect that the credits in the movie say that it was suggested
by the book. The book came out in 1958, the movie in 1974.
Outside of this book, there is little biographical information
available about the author, except that she was born on January 19,
1885 and died in November 1966 in Oklahoma.
The movie is considerably more famous than the book. The movie has
caused tremendous outcries and court cases and has resulted in changes
in the TV codes and obscenity laws.
The most horrific scene in the movie occurs when the 14-year-old
protagonist played by famous actress Linda Blair arrives in the reform
school for girls and is initiated by a lesbian gang rape in the shower
where the handle of a mop is pushed inside her vagina.
The public outcry occurred when this scene was shown on prime time TV.
It was immediately pulled and has never been shown on TV again, not
even on late night TV. Years later it was restored to the DVD version
only.
Almost everything about this scene pushes the edges of the obscenity
laws. The girl being 14 and the real actress was also 14 is on the
edges of the law. It could probably not be made nowadays. There are
now laws against depicting underage children having sexual
intercourse.
However, she is not really having sexual intercourse. She is merely
having a mop handle pushed inside her vagina. It can certainly be
argued that having a mop handle pushed inside your vagina does not
depict sexual intercourse or indeed sex of any kind.
Linda Blair being strip searched while being brought into the Girls
Reform School. It seems likely that the 14-year-old Linda really was
naked for this scene. Nowadays they would use a body double.
Here is Linda being held down while she is being raped. Yet, there is
nothing obscene about this scene.
Here are the girls pushing the mop handle inside her vagina. Again,
nothing obscene about this picture.
Also, the scenes do not actually show anything. Here is the key scene:
What is obscene is the context. You know from the dialog of the movie
what is happening in the picture. Otherwise you would never know.
Sorry, guys! You will have to go elsewhere if you want to see a dirty
movie.
Since then we have had the famous Lewinsky case where the President of
the United States argued that the blow job that he received from Miss
Lewinsky was not sexual intercourse. I happen to agree with the
President. I think that a blow job is not sexual intercourse. However,
a federal judge disagreed and ruled that it was sexual intercourse.
If a blow job is sexual intercourse, where do you draw the line? Is
kissing sexual intercourse? Is a kiss on the cheek sexual intercourse.
Is a hand shake sexual intercourse? According to my definition, sexual
intercourse occurs when a penis is inside a vagina for reproductive
purposes. If there is no penetration, there is no sex. With a condom,
there is no sex. Otherwise, a doctor putting a thermometer inside a
vagina is sexual intercourse.
Throughout the movie there are references to sexual type things, such
as when the prison guard looks inside of Linda's vagina. Again, the
movie does not actually show her looking. Rather, she tells Linda to
spread apart a bit further and then she comments that the girls hide
drugs in all sorts of places.
In the context you know that she has looked inside of Linda's anus and
vagina even though the movie does not actually show it.
It must be hard to play a villain. Every thinking person knows that
Linda Blair was not really possessed by the Devil. However, Nora
Heflin who plays Moco, the main villain in the movie, probably has
trouble convincing people that she is not really the hard-core lesbian
bulldyke that she so effectively plays. Similarly the very pretty
Janit Baldwin, who plays Denny, the lesbian who pushes the mop handle
into Linda's vagina, is probably not as evil in real life as she is
depicted in the movie.
Some people get off too easy. The judge in the movie is just doing his
job. However, we know that in real life some people who seek and get
positions as juvenile court justices are actually evil monsters like
Judge Lawrence Janow. These are people whom you would not want near
your children, yet they have the power to commit criminal acts in the
name of “justice”.
Similar to the way that some gay men seek and obtain positions as
Catholic priests because it places them in contact with young boys,
some family court judges have a sadistic desire to destroy people's
lives, and become judges for that reason.
I have personal experience because Charles Roberts kidnapped my
daughter at age 8 and brought her to Virginia and my two sons,
Michael and George, ages 7 and 5, were kidnapped by Rosemonde Pierre
Louis and then transported from California to New York. These were
obvious kidnappings, because Charles Roberts and Rosemonde Pierre
Louis were not related in any way to my children and the children were
carried across state lines. Yet they have never been prosecuted.
These kidnapers got away and none of these children were ever returned
to their home states. Shamema never went back to New York. Michael and
George never went back to California. The kidnappers have never been
prosecuted and indeed Rosemonde Pierre-Louis was subsequently
appointed Manhattan Deputy Borough President and is responsible for
overseeing several of the borough's key initiatives. The lives of
these children were messed up unalterably by these kidnappings. The
kidnappers got away because they were personal friends of judges and
influential politicians.
The problem nowadays is not abusive adults but abusive children. I
know of one child who has had five adults arrested in separate
incidents, even though the child has been diagnosed as schizophrenic.
Nowadays, there is a “mandatory reporting” law. Every teacher and
every nurse must pass a class in “mandatory reporting” in order to
obtain employment. Nowadays, if a child comes to school with a scratch
or an injury, the teacher may be required to report this to the law
enforcement authorities and then the law enforcement authorities might
be required to take action such as make arrest, even though they
realize there is no basis to the claim.
The result will often be that parents are afraid to send their
children to school.
Back in the old days, if a child misbehaved, the child would be
spanked.
Nowadays, if a parent spanks a child, the parent is likely to be
arrested.
Parents have become afraid of their own children. The parents in the
movie “Born Innocent” have assigned custody of the child to the state.
Although the parents in this movie are bad, even good parents nowadays
will give their children to the state because of the danger the
uncontrollable child presents to the parents.
Similarly, if a woman claims that she has been raped or even uses the
word “rape” in any context, the police must make an arrest nowadays,
even when it is obvious that the claim is false. This gives every
woman in the world the power to have any man in the world arrested,
even if the man can prove that he has never even met the woman.
The protagonist in “Born Innocent” whom I call Linda to avoid
confusion, even though her screen name is Chris, is not a bad kid. She
is a good kid with bad parents. However, her parents are far from the
worst. Her father is temperamental and hits both his wife and his
child. The mother does not know what to do about this and so she does
nothing. The child understandably runs away. She has a brother, but
the brother has a new wife and a newborn baby, so he cannot take care
of her. Therefore, Linda must go to reform school.
Although Linda is not a bad kid, some of the other girls in reform
school really are bad, especially the four lesbian girls who gang rape
her with the mop handle. After enduring the rape, Linda starts to
become more like them. She sarcastically calls Moco “the man of the
house”, referring to her lesbianism.
Linda sarcastically calls Moco “The Man of the House”, referring to
the fact that Moco is a Lesbian bull dyke.
We must feel sorry for poor Linda Blair for being forced to perform in
this movie. Linda managed to get raped in almost every movie, except
for The Exorcist, and, as a result, now the poor child is down to her
last $16 million.
There can be little doubt that most of the people who work in the
courts and the juvenile justice system really want to do the best they
can for the kids. Many are religiously motivated. However, they also
want to keep their jobs. Every person working in the system has to
fear that a little mistake can cost them their job and their
livelihood. For example, if there is a close question between letting
a girl out or keeping her in reform school, probably the safest course
is to keep her inside.
The judges are a different matter because they are immune from
prosecution and cannot be fired. Nobody even dares to criticize them.
Even politicians and presidents can say nothing negative about them,
at least not in public. Again, in the Lewinsky Scandal there were many
ridiculous decisions by judges. In any other so-called civilized
country of the world, no such thing would have been allowed to happen.
Here in the USA, our entire nation was held at bay for months and the
end result was the president left office under a cloud and we got
stuck with eight years of Bush.
Similarly, we have an absolute outright criminal, Judge Lawrence
Janow, who was fond of having children kidnapped from other states and
often did so. He is no longer a judge but he has never gone to prison
where he belongs for his crimes. We just have to hope that he does not
become a judge again. He surely would like to get his job back because
nobody will hire him as a lawyer due to his notorious reputation. Even
if not, we have to fear that somebody even worse than him might take
his place.
