There should be a thread just about this thread.
Really? An awkward teenage girl in front of national press, with her dad being sworn in as a Senator by the VP, and it turns in to "Joe Biden is a pedophile?"

This is one of the most bizarre threads I've seen in days — not for the subject, because frankly there's absolutely nothing to talk about — but because so many posters are so passionately convinced that this video shows anything more than an awkward reaction from a nervous teen/tween meeting the VP in front of reporters and television cameras.

& people are trying to defend this?
You lot a blind to reality it seems.
First he grabs her arm, rubs his fingers down the arm & brushes the breast...
That could all be accidental...
Then he starts sniffing her like a dirty old man...
That's not accidental or debatable...
A question to anyone who doesn't find this creepy or suspicious...
Would you have allowed him to sniff your daughter?
Would you allow anyone to sniff your daughter in such a manner?
Freak.

Are you the girl in your avatar?
Want to meet up so I can touch you, whisper sweet nothings in your ear, sniff your hair, then give you a little kiss?
I mean you don't seem to have a problem when some dirty old man does this to an innocent young girl, so I guess a handsome cool dude like me could be all over you without a problem when we meet up.
So what do you say?
Pucker up.

She's definitely skeeved out, but there are a ton of possible reasons for that.
I don't think it means she's been molested by him, and I don't think it means he's a pedophile.
I have to admit I found it pretty creepy, but I don't think a few seconds of video is enough to claim someone wants to screw kids.
She may have been nervous or shy due to the cameras or how famous Biden is, regardless, her body language is saying she did not want to be touched and her parents forced her into a situation she didn't want to be in. My daughter is autistic and even she knows if she doesn't wish to hug a relative goodbye, she will not be forced to. Kids should not be forced into situations they're not in the mood for, either at that moment, or with a particular person. It can set them up for abuse later because in some cases, you are essentially teaching your kids they do not have the right to say no to what happens to their bodies.
Looks like he was whispering in her ear and tried to give her an innocent kiss on the side of her head. I see no big deal. Text
