Chris Brown Has Been Abusing His Mother For Years Now! on the Kyle Phoenix Blog

When troubled singer Chris Brown hurled a rock through his mother’s car window earlier this week he didn't care if the rock injured her or caused her to lose control of her car. Brown was outraged because his mom, Joyce Hawkins, suggested that he remain in treatment at a rehab center.

This is not the first time Brown has lashed out at his own mother. Industry insiders have whispered about Brown abusing his own mother for years.

Brown’s violent behavior stems from his anger and rage toward her for not protecting him from his violent father as a boy. In an interview with MTV’s Sway, Brown recalled watching his mother suffer abuse at the hands of his father. He told Sway that watching the abuse heaped upon his mother was “an influence in me about how to treat a woman.”

“I used to always feel the hate for anybody that disrespected a lady. Or called a lady the B-word … or just disrespected her.”

But the family history of abuse had the opposite affect on young Chris.

Abuse is a learned behavior from one generation to the next. Parents who beat their children (or each other) plant the seeds of violence in young children that will be repeated as the child grows up.

From MTV News:
Based on the information she has read about the case and her 25 years of experience dealing with domestic-violence issues, Sheryl Cates, CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline, said the inter-generational abusive behavior that Brown could be a part of is not unusual.

“It’s a learned behavior,” she said. “It can be unlearned, and I hope that he will seek some help to do that. But it’s about a belief system where you think, ‘I have the right to hurt someone I love.’ I’ve seen him say a lot that he would treat women differently, but the [alleged] injuries in this case are the same tactics — emotional or physical — meant to control [Rihanna]. One of the things we can convey to people is [that] violence is not the answer and there is an ability to change if you want that.”

Chris Brown Did Not Lose His Virginity At 8 Years Old, He Was Raped At 8 Years Old by Yesha Callhan

Every time Chris Brown opens his  mouth for an interview I wish someone would just intervene and haul him off to therapy. In a recent interview with the UK  Guardian, the 24-year-old singer opened up about losing his virginity at the age of 8.

Brown, who lost his virginity at age eight to a girl who was 14 or 15, told the magazine, “It’s different in the country,” adding that he and his friends watched a lot of porn. “By that point, we were already kind of like hot to trot, you know what I’m saying? Like, girls, we weren’t afraid to talk to them; I wasn’t afraid. So, at eight, being able to do it, it kind of preps you for the long run, so you can be a beast at it. You can be the best at it.”

Someone please inform Chris Brown, and his mother, that her 8 year-old son was raped.  Couple that with being witness to his mother’s own physical abuse, therein lies the problem with Chris Brown.  I am the last person to ever make excuses for Brown’s past behaviour, but what he touts as prepping for the long run, only prepped him for the worst.

An 8 year-old cannot consent to rape, I don’t care if he thinks it’s different in the “country”, referring to his town of Tappahannock, Virginia. The Age of Consent laws in Virginia state:

The age of consent in Virginia is 18, with a close in age exception that allows teenagers aged 15 to 17 to engage in sexual acts but only with a partner younger than 18.

Section § 18.2-63 of the Code refers to minors younger than 15, while § 18.2-371 is about 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds.

Section 18.2-63 states in part:

“If any person carnally knows, without the use of force, a child thirteen years of age or older but under fifteen years of age, such person shall be guilty of … felony … For the purposes of this section, (i) a child under the age of thirteen years shall not be considered a consenting child and (ii) “carnal knowledge” includes the acts of sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, analingus, anal intercourse, and animate and inanimate object sexual penetration.“

Consensual sex where one partner is 15, 16 or 17 and the other is over 18 is a class 1 misdemeanor.

§ 18.2-371. Causing or encouraging acts rendering children delinquent, abused, etc.; penalty; abandoned infant. Any person 18 years of age or older, including the parent of any child, who (i) willfully contributes to, encourages, or causes any act, omission, or condition which renders a child delinquent, in need of services, in need of supervision, or abused or neglected as defined in § 16.1-228, or (ii) engages in consensual sexual intercourse with a child 15 or older not his spouse, child, or grandchild, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.’

This is the problem with society, if this was a young girl speaking of  ”losing” her virginity at 8, it would already be understood that she was raped, But because it’s a man speaking, it’s then turned into some coming of age act of bravado.  According to the Children’s Assessment Center, 8% of sexual abuse victims age 12-17 are male and 26% of victims under the age of 12 are male. It’s also important to point out that, what Brown describes as “being different in the country”, living in a rural area does play a role in sexual abuse, children who live in rural areas are almost 2 times more likely to be identified as victims of child sexual abuse.

Take a moment to put aside your personal feelings about Brown, but at the age of 8 years-old, sure virginity was lost, but it was lost due to rape. That’s nothing to brag about, I hope eventually one day he realizes that.
