Have you seen the movie "Precious"?  I did this past weekend. Very  
powerful drama dealing with multiple forms of abuse (including sexual  
abuse).  The question I have is how everyone feels about the Social  
Worker asking the Mother how she could allow her male partner to  
sexually abuse her daughter over the years?

As we all know, scenes such as this one are often blaming the mother  
for what the perpetrator did. In this movie, the situation is even  
more complicated because the mother herself is abusive toward the  
daughter (character named Precious is the daughter).  How do you plan  
on discussing this movie in classes and/or educational settings?
