Is this inappropriate?

Bishop Larry Trotter, a senior pastor of the Sweet Holy Spirit Church in Chicago posted this photo of himself and his 4year old granddaughter in a bathtub on his Instagram page.

A number of people went ham on the popular Bishop after the photo was posted online. Many feel it's inappropriate interactions with a minor because they are both topless in the photo. One person wrote
No man should ever ever ever take a bath with a female in his family or friends. That’s only for a man and his wife! This is totally inappropriate behavior!
The bishop defended himself by saying that while taking a bubble bath, his grand daughter, who was visiting with her parents for the weekend, came in the bathroom and asked him if she could get in the tub. He said yes, and it was the girl's mother who took the photograph. Is it inappropriate?

  4. This is not inappropriate... the only thing inappropriate about this is the foolish minds people have these days. he is a man, yes but she is a sweet innocent little girl and if he has nothing but an appropriate Godly love for his grand daughter this is FINE! i took baths with my father when i was younger and i loved to play with water and all. no one thought it was inappropriate...

    1. Honey this isn't about being judgmental, it's about the harsh realities of life. If you know the ish that go on in some families, you will understand why some people frown at such. I know of cases both home and abroad where cute, sweet innocent girls lost their innocence to their sick ass fathers! Some even sired kids with their fathers. I'm on the fence on this one because both views carry valid points. It's a sick world we live in where sick and depraved people walk among us and there may be no apparent tell tail signs to identify them. One should err on the side of caution.

      Delete
    2. Are we to say because we live in a sick world, normal people should deprive themselves of life's pleasurable bonds because our actions may be misinterpreted by others who have no stakes in our lives? Fathers lay on their daughters bed and tell bedtime stories, hold them to sleep and do other stuffs that may be considered inappropriate and suggestive if done with others they are not related to.

  9. Linda I think it is inappropriate. If it were his grandson, i'll not mind. Although there is nothin wrong in bathing with you own kid or grandkid, i still believe it's not totally right.

  10. Mstcheew. Of course not! Not everyone is a paedophile you know! This is all innocent. What is the world turning to?! I have only just taking a bath with my son but he still does with his dad. He is 5. I wouldn't hesitate if he wanted to have a bath with his uncles. He knows to tell mummy or daddy if anyone "touches" his piipii

    1. Yup! I guess this was the same sentiment Fritzl's wife had when she noticed the bond between Fritzl and his daughter seemed to be getting stronger. I wonder how she felt when it was discovered that he imprisoned his daughter for 24 years in a concealed corridor part of the basement area of the family home, a condominium-style apartment complex built by her father, Josef Fritzl. For the duration of her imprisonment he sexually and physically abused her and she ended up having SEVEN children by him!!! Just because you have innocent intentions doesn't mean everybody does. Am just keeping it real.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think the saddest thing is that this question should even be asked at all. It is a sad reflection of how morally bankrupt the society is becoming that a grand father should not be looked upon with suspicion for bathing with his OWN grandchild. in these days of pedophiles and child porn, he and his family should have been more sensitive.

    ReplyDelete
  64. That's what happens when a world turns on its head with perverts walking the streets. This is what a good pure family ought to look like. The Bishop has done nothing wrong there was a 3rd party in the bathroom. More pics like this please.

  71. The innocent always suffer with the guilty. Would l do that - no. However, l see the innocence of it all besides as we can see he did not expose himself to the child (you can see the foam bubbles). For the little girl it is all mindless fun with Grandpa and the creation of a happy memory/moment that may last forever. It is the pedophiles in our midst that make us look at this picture with suspicion. ln fact if there was anything sinister going on he would not have posted the picture. "Free your minds" - and the rest will follow.

  73. To me its total rubbish,for where did the bishop hide his penis while he was in the bathtub?and did he explain the functions of that part of his body to a 4year old who I know to be very curious as a mother?it is very inappropriate and the naïve mother too took a picture,no father in law can have a bath with my own daughter o cos grandma is still alive,dats total nonsense,some part of the body are not supposed to be exposed to a 4year old at all.Unneccesary civilization will be our death yet!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I thinks its really inappropriate.
    Imagine d little girl mistakenly tounching his penis and asks him what it is then what will he answer?
    We should try as much as possible not to arouse unneccesary inquisitiveness in kids knowing dat kids want to know everything and tend to copy what they see grown ups do.
    Pls he should immediately delete dat pic!!!!

  77. This is highly inappropriate. If this man as a pastor does not know that this is NOT appropriate, then who will know. This is nothing but a classic example of child endangerment.This 'man of God' is supposed to be advising members of his congregation against this type of behaviour. This is an example of how some mothers 'unknowingly' create an environment for their children to be abused and molested.[Ladies hope u are learning from this]. In God's name, how can a grown up man be in a bath tube butt-naked with a little girl.Even if the little girl is your own daughter, it is a no no. The social services need to step in here and investigate this family as we don't know what other inappropriate 'things' they could have have been doing with their children while they claim ignorance. IGNORANCE is not an excuse to commit behaviors like this. It is only sick and twisted minded people that will be exposing themselves to little children. Nobody dare tells me that this man is not exposing himself to this little girl because he is here butt-naked with the little girl in the bath tub.
    This man has no business being a Pastor with this kind of behavior. If you are having a bath, it is supposed to be private. Why would your own grown up daughter even walked in there not to talk of offering her daughter to go in butt-naked into the bath with you and start taking pictures. What are the pictures for? For you to be salivating over at a later time or what? What is memorable in you having a bath that you need to take pictures and keep.
    Also the relationship between this supposedly man of God and his own daughter[s] need to be examined. There might even be something fishing going on between father and daughter[s] and now they are introducing a child. Where was this 'pastor's' wife when this was happening? Did she allowed this too? Where was the father of this girl? Did he also allowed this? I will be livid with rage if i am the father of this little girl[God forbid]. This is just too insane.
    Imagine introducing a girl as young as this little girl to this kind of nonsense. This man has no business being a pastor. The whole scenario is sickening.

  84. You guys should shut the fuck abeg,the bishop did that in a very clean clear mind,the little gal knows absolutely nothing about being naked in a bath tub with grandpa.the world is already a very corrupt one,if that girl wants to grow up all mannered and well behaved,the praise will all go to her cos she made it,and if the gal wants to still grow up all weird,its still her bizness.cos she can be monitored all through her lifetime cos she will sure go school somewhr whr her own personal discipline will come.don't we think if he has refused the gal going in there,that wud av left the little gal with so much thoughts,thinking why they refused her going in there,thus,alerting her of what she ought not to have known in 4.

  93. FOR THOSE WHO ARE SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR, I WILL TELL YOU THIS:

    1. WHEN A CHILD IS ABUSED OR MOLESTED, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT IS DONE BY A CLOSE MALE RELATIVE.

    2. WHEN EVER A CHILD IS ABUSED OR MOLESTED, YOU NEED THREE CONDITIONS TO BE PRESENT. IF NON OF THESE THREE CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT, A CHILD CAN NEVER BE ABUSED OR MOLESTED.
    3. THE THREE CONDITIONS ARE:
    1. The presence of a child to be abused[victim]
    2. The presence of the abuser[ usually male ]
    3. The presence of the right moment for the abuse to take place with little or no chance of detection.
    NOW, PLEASE GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES WITH THE ABOVE STATEMENTS IN YOUR MIND.
    Non the least, 2 conditions have been met here. Now are we 100% sure this pastor is 100% clean in his thoughts? Yes or No? You only know that if you are a mind reader.
    Let us even assume this particular 'pastor' is a 100% pure pastor.[i doubt even if one exist]. Why would you as a mother create an environment that is conducive for your daughter to be easily abused? Points 1 and 3 above. Have you as a mother not heard of fathers or grandfathers abusing/molesting their daughters or granddaughters? I am not saying that all fathers abuse their daughters but what i am saying is why are we creating environment that makes it easy for our daughters to be easy targets for abuse and molestations. That is the point here. The pastor may have a pure mind. Yes. And he may also be a serial undetected child molester. Yes. Nobody [except the child molester] knows when a child molestation is going to take place. This is why child molestation is better prevented.
    PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE ANYTIME. THAT IS THE POINT HERE. TRUST NO ONE EXCEPT YOUR ONLY SELF. THAT IS THE POINT ALSO. IF WE ALL KNOW WHEN A CHILD MOLESTER IS GOING TO STRIKE, I BET IT WILL NOT TAKE PLACE. These are my own arguments.

There is nothing inappropriate about this picture except that we live in a world full of crazy folks that will abuse such closeness.
    @Lisa London.....the man is seating in the tub not like he is standing taking a bath, i don't see what is wrong with his daughter taking a picture of her daughter in the tub with her father for a few minutes..... it is not like she was in the bathroom the entire time.

ALL THOSE SAYING THERE IS NOTHINGG WRONG HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN ABUSED!!!....thank your stars, because you dont know what abuse victims are going through each day...I am one of them....how can you look at this pic and say nothing is wrong?...have you not heard of fathers and grandfathers that rape their daughters?..... i pity you ...please abuse is not funny ...and who is to say that the guy is not touching her under the bubbles?.......PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE....COS ACTUALLY YOU CAN NEVER CURE AN ABUSE VICTIM, THEY ONLY LEARN TO COPE WITH THE EFFECTS

  109. Hmm. Was he wearing his obante? THis is why the internet and all this social media is too much. This gist would have stayed in his family and there will be no wahala. Tomorrow an accuser will come forward from his church and nobody will know whether it is true or not because ther eis this photo. My son sees me naked all the time. I dont wear clothes at home - I need fresh air. He does not care and has never asked me one single day about it. But as I have posted it now, some of you will tell me that it is written in the bible that a woman shall not show her son her nakedness. Dirty minds in overdrive, old people doing senseless things.

  110. If they were in a swimming pool would it be inappropriate?
    His explanation seems genuine.
    If elton John and his 'wife' and sons look adorable to this present age, why can't we give normal families the benefit of the doubt?

  115. @Anonymous 9:56 PM you are 1 sick little bastard,why mention R.kelly in this?Who tells you r.kelly sleeps with his baby daughters just because of a sex tape was released of a man Who looked like R.kelly in the Video was sexing a minor,the only mistake R.kelly ever did in his career was going out with Aaliyah who was head over hills in love with R.kelly,the media made a mess out of the whole thing,when the sex tape came out the World was quick to judge R.kelly because of his once relationship with the late Aaliyah.I won't call this inappropriate the World is too damn corrupt to to think of something dirty when only this Man & his daughter are having a father & daughter moment.This i describe as cute.F**k what the World thinks

  116. Probably it was just an ordinary nice family bonding moment but ds world were we live in 2day, u hear so many sick stories dat everyone has 2 be extra careful. Personally, I will not allow my daughter join her dad, grand- dad, uncle or any male 4 dat matter in a bath tub.d world is getter weirder n deres nothing like being 2 careful nymore.

  117. If it were a woman having a bath with her grandson, would we call it inappropriate? No we wouldn't.

    When we talk of pedophilia everyone assumes that all pedophiles are men. This could not be further from the truth.

    We are all so mixed up these days that we take a sweet innocent special moment between a man and his grandchild and ruin it as a result of our dirty minds.

    As for Anonymous January 17, 2013 at 10:03 PM, you say your husband is not allowed to kiss your baby daughter, HIS baby daughter on her lips...I say you're full of crap. I'm sure you see nothing wrong with you kissing your baby son on the lips abi? Ode oshi!

  118. I totally agree with Olu and God bless you. People can be so naïve atimes. Its not a question of he has a good and godly mind or he is her father or great grand father.. The point is DON'T EXPOSE your kids to such and please protect your girl child as the risk is higher. In the swimming pool or beach you can actually watch in a family gathering but not when you dad goes to have his bath butt naked and u come in with your child. How many people take showers in the privacy of their own homes and wear boxers??? Read the news, watch CSI we live in a very very sick world. Not every1 is good and not every1 is bad. We need to pray constantly and then use our heads. Maryjane

  120. Its not acceptable by d Bishop. I was molested as a child by my Uncle whom lived wit us. My parents so much trusted him dey neva knew till today. So as am grown up wen I marry I wnt allow male family member or friends 2 get close 2 my girls. Am sharing dis cos so many pple dnt knw d danger of allowing uncles, cousins & family male member do 2 innocent girls. Even ur broda shldnt b trusted wit ur little or old girls. Be warned parents out there

  127. Nottin is inappropriate about dat moment. Infact its a beautiful moment. Lets do away with our negative minds and our world will b betta 4 it.Dis mornin as i was doin my toilet biz my daughter who by d'way is 9 came in 2 take ha bath and said "daddy u are usin ur reproductive system" i was like wat? But wen she xplained wat she meant i realised she was talkin about d'digestive system. So u see sometimes our minds wander off 2 sick thots. We should search ourselves

  128. Am amazed at the number of pple who tink this is inappropiate........must the world end because we are surrounded by sick pple? There is nothing wrong in that pics.......how would you know if your lesbian sis fondles your daughter or gay bro sexually abuses your son in abd outside the bath room? Its a crazy world but some families still have their values intact.
    Any man tempted by a four year old is a pervert....so y'all talking bout temptation should take a back seat.

  131. Hmmm Its the girls mum he said not stating if its the pastors daughter o,and the pastor said he was having a bath so its 90% chance that his naked whic means is totally not appropriate since its not in the bible self and the pool o beach is different from your own toilet since not everyone has the right to come in. While the beach o pool is usually open for a lot Of people and the water is clear. Most Abuse cases happens in secluded places like homes because no one can hear or come and help the victims because the law would punish you for that too. Say no to these

  133. hmmmm...and the love of many shall wax cold. Humans cannot even recognize love anymore. my dad bath us while we were young till we were old enough to bath ourselves and we loved it, cos we were always squeaky clean when he's through. this world is full of perverts, simple display of affection is now considered wrong. The end is near.

  134. The point here is not that d pastor is a bad man. The point is, it is good to be precatious. No1 is infallible and we should not put ourselves in a situation where we are tempted because we are not likely to overcome such great temptation. This is inappropriate. Not even my daughter and my husband is allowed to be in a tub. Not beacuse I regard my hubby to be bad but because we should be careful. There is no harm in being careful. D pastor is obviously innocent for posting d pix however, it is not right. He shouldn't be doing this and d child's mother should not be allowing this.

  135. Well, i see no problems with this. Its just a thing of the mind and with a clean mind like his we should be truthful to ourselves. I do take tub bath with my daughters but with pants, and here noone can proove if he has one on. so please!!!

  139. Because the world has become polluted by corrupt minds, a harmless picture becomes harmful. Cute picture of a grand pa and grand child. the question is: where both naked in the tub? Was a the picture taken by a supervised adult?

  140. Honestly, people just have dirty minds, nothing is wrong with the pic. Does it mean he can't go swimming with his grand kids? It's a loving pic I think.

  143. VERY VERY INAPPROPRIATE....He is also a bloody liar how would a 4 year old waddle into the bathroom and ask that she joined him and the irresponsible old man agreed?of cause he would turn it on the little girl she is only a child and if this gets to the authorities they would tell the girl what to say. Shameless old man that's why there is so much incest and sexual abuse in America.

  144. Peeps, it is the motive that you should question!! I see not wrong with this picture, the motive is right. Might be a mistake to post it on istragram but then again, that's because the motive is pure.

    If you think it's wrong, then you are carnally minded! Its a bubble bath!....ding!

  151. It really isnt innappropriate in the sense that we know both of their intentions are pure but nudity is a delicate matter and is closely related to sexuality....a man doesnt have to be thinking ofsex (consciously) tohave an erection. What if while they are in the bath playing she rubs him playfuly in a way that stimulates an erection- involuntrarily. We all know this can happen. A seemingly innocent situation will instantly turn sinful. I just think if this must happen the man must be extra careful. I think the pic is cute though.

  153. Why was this posted online tho? This is obviously a very private moment and as a Bishop he shouldn't put himself in this sort of position.

  154. I bet all those that think its inappropriate are the same ones that take their own underage kids to their so called pastors and leave them there unguided for hours just to be prayed for. Do u know what the pastor does to your child?NO! Even if your child turns around and says mummy pastor done this and that, you won't believe your child. So pls let this man enjoy this lovely moment with his grand child and like he said her mum took it and the mum is probably his daughter . I guess she know best cos her dad never molested her as a child so y wld he do it to his grand child.

  156. It is very very inappropriate!
    What the hell!
    She's not his daughter and she's more than 3 years of age. After 3 years of age children begin to recognize the difference between men and women sexually; after that it is not ok to go naked in front of them.
    The bishop is a pervert and he's setting a bad example for pedophiles!

  157. I've never commented on anything on this Blog as much as I love it. I come here just for laughs and entertainment. Lol love U tho Linda!

    But damn must I comment on THIS! Worraheck? Oh no ..I honestly don't think this older man had a negative mindset about this baffing with his little female relative. But in the name of the lord .. chaii this is INAPPROPRIATE! C'mon ... this is a "Grown" man for goodness sakes! This little girl will be exposed to his genitals and man its just a no no! Even if its done with good intentions,] its totally still not acceptable!

    A grown woman can baff with a little boy relative, no biggie. But a grown man with a little girl? Biko hell no! I am sorry .. twww

  158. I use the internet; that's why i can be writing this anyway. But recently the internet has become a curse more than a blessing to us because we abuse and misuse it. internet fraud, internet porn, online dating, sexting, posting of things that are meant to be private and confidential on the net. Even if this bath tub thing was done as a one off thing why should it be advertised on the net. Who send them? I dont know why everybody is putting all their lifetime on the net. The entire family pix of many ppl are on FB. Criminals can use it against u. Celebreties will pose with naked pregnant tummy and show it off for the whole world, why? This one in hot bikini, that one in hot pose. This one in topless, that one in bathroom, what exactly is happening? The devil has simply hijacked the internet and is using it to derail people and give wrong orientation that nudity, which is a prelude to (and a catalyst for) sexual imorality is no big deal! Nudity everywhere all in the name of civilization. Let everything be modrated and the world will be a better place.

  160. This is just how corrupt our society and our minds have become. We have allowed the misdeeds of evil people to blind our good sense. What is wrong with a father or a mother in a bath with his/toddler. My God, I cant count how many times I had been in a bath with either of my parents while growing up and I am 40yrs now and normal, very secure and not perverted. Infact I am so secure that when I remember how much love I had from my parents, I don't even feel like I need anybody's love to complete me but rather seek additional ways to love my partner nd the people around me.
