Terri-Lynne McClintic: Father Rod McClintic Speaks Out

Rod McLintock still pays child support for a child who is not his own, and that's supposed to make him out to be a good guy? He's a good guy  because he agreed to falsify an adoption certificate so his stripper girlfriend could have a baby without ruining her figure? He's a good guy because after he lived with this child as his own daughter for two years, he basically trooped off and hasn't done anything in her life for the past 12 years? A cheque is NOT enough to compensate for parenting, particularly when it's pretty obvious that the parent who's keeping the child is not going to be doing a 'good' job either!

This incredibly uninsightful man is quoted as being "stunned over Terri-Lynne's seemingly callous behaviour." Geez, I wonder where she learned it? 

Who gives a damn about this woman's childhood? Are we already making excuses about why she did what she did? I'm already reading artilcles about how she came from a broken home, Daddy was never there...blah blah blah.....

thiis is really sad :(

Terri-Lynne sounds like she should have been an abortion!!! Too bad she made it to the age of 18 and now has taken another life - the life of an innocent child, TORI.

I hope they make Terri-Lynne someone's B*T*H in jail, because that's the worst she is going to get in Canada. Pathetic! A guy can cut the head off an innocent man in a bus, and today he is in Selkirk Mental Inst. eating bon-bons and watching Oprah - Lovely eh! What the hell is this World coming to.

If this ever happened to my family or child, I would kill that person myself - with no regrets. Maybe more of us should start taking these issues into our own hands, so that they will change the laws and give harder and more severe sentences.

While a degree of defensiveness is understandable, this guy has been all over the news telling anybody that would listen that he's got nothing to do with this girl.  We get that.  It's nothing to be bragging about, Rod.

I understand that everyone has differing opinions, the reality is a little girl is dead and at the hands of two adults.  If I try to understand Ms. Mclintic, I would have to say, yes she led a horrible life, however, please don't tell me no one saw this.  So those of you who knew and sit and criticize...including Rod are guilty of neglect and in my eyes abuse.  You let an emotionally unavailable woman attempt to raise a child.  If we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem.  When a child is being abused and you know it, you are already involved...stop being cowards and allowing the cycle of messed up adults to continue.  Promote self-esteem, values and morals...don't snub your nose and pretend you didn't see it.  

As for the arsehole 28 year old boyfriend...well first of all didn't anyone think something was off when a 28 year old is interested in an 18 year old girl...Peter Pan Syndrome, secondly he's on the brink of being a pedophile...less 2 more years and there you are. Which with the natural progression of his distorted and demented mind...leads to poor little Tori. 

I agree Canada needs to have harsher laws, we got to stop being so God D@&n passive.  What does it take for the Canadian government to speak up?  Perhaps with ask a landed immigrant to put in a petition maybe they'll listen and start doing something.

laws wont help, some people are just fucking insane sick in the head

I am questioning why Terri-Lynn McClintic's upbringing seems to be of foremost interest these days in the media, rather than her role in abducting and possibly killing Victoria Stafford. Many people have difficult childhoods and unfortunate circumstances - most do not go on to become child killers. Terri-Lynn McClintic had choices and she chose to abduct an innocent eight year old child to give to her boyfriend as a 'prize' to be used and then murdered. She is evil, and reminiscent of Karla Homolka in her crimes against children. Michael Rafferty is another sicko and hopefully they will lock him some place where he rots 24/7. Too bad we tax payers have to fit the bill though for scourge like them.  In the mean time, how do you reconcile something like this within a family? The obvious answer is, you don't. I was out today in the sunshine, I saw families happily playing together and I felt sick at heart to think of Tori's family being shattered like this. The very thought of something happening to your children sends tremors throughout every parent. But the idea of them being a victim of a heinous, brutal crime is unbearable. What must that little girl have suffered at the hands of those two monsters? Did she cry to see her mom and dad and brother? Did McClintic or Rafferty show her any human compassion or conscience? No they did not. So I do not want to hear about their 'troubled' lives. You do not get to that stage of pathology simply by having a rough childhood. There is something inherently wrong with the way you are wired when you abduct, rape and murder a child. I hope that they find Tori's body soon so that she may be buried with the dignity and respect she deserves. As horrible as this sounds, I would want to know what happened to my child... even if it was the worst scenario. I could not live in limbo like the parents of missing Madeleine McCann in Britain who vanished without a trace. Perhaps Tori's family will be able to grieve properly now and know that the people who took their daughter from them will be punished.

We haven't even heard the accused speak up yet.  How do we know for sure they are guilty?  We only know what the police have told us.   Fact, the body has not been found yet. 

It's disgusting that the media is focusing on her bad childhood, it's no wonder why many criminals try to use it to a light sentence. It's sad that she had an awful childhood but it's give her a free past to commit a crime especially one as vile as kidnapping and helping to end the life of an innocent defenseless child.

LOLA Cantagonna, the guy who beheaded an innocent man in a bus, likely would have gotten the same sentence if it had been in US where laws are harsher because of his servere mental illness. Canada isn't the only country where the law considers mentally ill people not responsable for their actions, it's probaby just the only country that protects mentally ill murderers but threw a man who had a mental illness that made him convinced that his family had been replaced with imposters in jail for years for harrassing his wife even though she wanted him in a mental hospital.

U know.........I didn't have the best parents in the world but when u get to a certain age, u have to start thinking for urself dispite how badly u've been treated.  U have a brain so that u can use it to think with.  Everyone knows that right is right and wrong is wrong.  I'm sure u all would agree that killing someone would be in the wrong category.  So therefore,  I don't give a flying fuck about this Terri or Carol or Rod or how crazy their lives were blah blah blah.  Murder is murder.  Whether ur screwed in the head or not.  It's still murder.  I feel sorry for Tori's mom who's been falsely accused of such a horrendous act.  I'm a mom and the thought of losing my child is inconcievable to me.  I don't know if I could even live let alone be accused for the disappearance of my child.  People r so cruel.  It's too bad that people get so influenced by the media that they forget to think for themselves.

You can sue for back support on the child, as per neglect through the years you have diligently paid support!!!When you pay child support, the child is to recieve the payement for essentials in there lives. Clearly if a court were to view the parties involved TLM mother, they could clearly see the payment was not fully towards TLM and her essentials. It was said she was already in jail prior... the mother was a former stripper, and now has no pension clearly and most likely claims disability.... If I were TLM father I would sue get yourself a good laywer and given the situation, good guy or not. You had no rights, when you should have, and still paid for a daughter that is sick and full of sickness. No one should ever have to pay for someone that murders, and a mother who is too messed up to see that. The mother could not care and abused her from her horrific life as a child. That is not your responisibily now.
