Army to Dr. Laura's Son -- Did You Really Write That?!

TMZ has learned that the US Army is investigating whether the son of holier-than-thou talk show host Dr. Laura created an unbelievably graphic and offensive MySpace page including scenes of rape, torture and child molestation.

A MySpace page allegedly created by and containing a trove of photos of what appeared to be Deryk Schlessinger, Dr. Laura's 21-year-old son who is serving as a Specialist with the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan with the US Army, was pulled from the popular file-sharing site last week, as the Salt Lake Tribune first reported. We're told by an Army rep that it contained cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation, not to mention photos of soldiers with guns in their mouths -- among other scenes, and a picture of a blindfolded prisoner with the caption "My Sweet Little Habib." Lt. Col. Robert Tallman of the Army called the MySpace page "disturbing."

What's more, one blog entry on the site read, in part, "I LOVE MY JOB, it takes everything reckless and deviant and heathenistic and just overall bad about me and hyper focuses these traits into my job of running around this horrid place doing nasty things to people that deserve it ... and some that don't."

Lt. Col.Tallman tells TMZ that the Schlessinger investigation is "ongoing" and that Deryk is still on active duty. Deryk didn't respond to a request for comment by the Tribune, and Dr. Laura's rep suggested that the MySpace page could be a fake.

16. What is truly sad is that he probably did have control over the MySpace site and his dysfunction could be a result of being at war day in and day out.

The military needs to keep closer tabs on their soldiers just like NASA needs to keep better tabs on their astronauts.

18. Dr. Laura is a scum ridden piece of garbage, so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He looks a little like a cartoon figure in the photo, don't you think?

21. Why do you keep referring to her as "Dr."...she's not, she lies, she has no qualifications, certainly not a PHd.

You people are so easily fooled.

22. Whether or not HE wrote it, someone did! And whoever did, is a sick psycho ba$tard!
Personally I think it was him, only because he mother seems kind of messed up. But that's just my opinion.

23. People are posting like TMZ is stating fact. To attack Dr. Laura for the actions (or not) of her son is pitiful. Glad your mother's and father's aren't accountable for your hate filled rants.

26. Sounds like Dr. Laura'a son needs a timeout in the brig to consider his actions! It's not suprising to me that the child of someone who dispenses "advice" is so maladjusted. For heaven's sake, don't let this man become a cop. He'll make the Rodney Kind incident look like a walk in the park. Sick puppy!

27. With the exception of depictions of children, I don't see a problem with what he had on his MySpace page.

28. Calm Down...I get it now.
Laura is no different then a fizzy soft drink, a fictional character, and a cheesburger....makes sense.

29. I use listen to Dr. Laura and I do think she brings common sense to the table at times. I know she also cheated on her husband before her transformation or epiphany or whatever. As my Mother use to say, " the preachers daughter is always the worse one." I find it odd that anyone would make this up, but if it is true he needs help. Very badly.

30. #23, and #26, She actually IS a Dr. Get your facts straight, dumbasses!

Her doctorate is in Human Physiology. It may not be in Psychology, but it damn well is a Ph.D. So I implore you, get your facts straight, dumbasses!
