Oh, I see. Thank you for enlightening me. Isn't it pretty strange that she would be able to get away with posting this "abuse" all over her social media for years and no one close to her said anything about it until after she was murdered and unable to speak for herself? MOO.
YES, THIS!
And yes, one could ask how we know no one did say anything to her, but considering how... opinionated... people can be on social media, critical even, when it comes to other people's lives and parenting skills, and the fact that she was by everyone's admission VERY publicly active on social media, I find it hard to believe that there would have been a virtual vacuum of silence on such a serious issue if it was even hinted to exist all along.
Social media can be a very catty place, especially in the MLM world. Negative rumors take on a life of their own in groups, etc. By all accounts, Shanann was very well liked. Or the "appearance" she gave was. Or whatever people want to call it.
So... she had a pattern of abusing or neglecting her children, or else being hyper focused on their health (depending on the theory), and either no one noticed or no one said anything publicly at all of concern. You couldn't completely and instantly scrub all mention of her bad mothering skills from SM every time if it happened. You just can't do that. Her business was by nature too purposely public.
If she was so bossy that she did this to her kids and "trained" a meek CW like an obedient mouse, I'd think that at least some negative opinions of her would have been flying on SM by the people who knew him, knew them as a couple, or knew her before her entire family (save 1) was murdered and tossed aside like trash.
Or, some negative opinions of her would have been spoken of or supported in media interviews by friends and family instantly when she went missing, if alarm bells had been ringing about her character. If CW had been feeling like she was an abusive mother. If the in-laws felt the kids were being harmed, or the couple's close friends saw her as off somehow. He never said that, and no one else did either unless I missed a MSM interview or comment? Anyone in those first confusing few days, even?
Like NUA who instantly knew something was very wrong when she heard CW's reaction. Or the Thayers who had the most intimate up close access to CW out of ANYONE post-murders and were completely and totally shaken up to the point where they instantly called police after he left. No family rushing in to support him in finding his wife and kids and making public media statements... someone. Not even one. JMO.
