Interesting question
@IzzyBlanche …… and I can’t recall whether there was an actual bed in the living room, or was it just a couch or a pull out / sleeper where MS was ‘relegated’ to her room? I don’t remember unfortunately.
This IMO brings up another thought perhaps? So if MS didn’t have her own room, and was given ‘quarters’ or her ‘space’ in the ‘living room’ - this question occurs to me now …….. if JS was allowing or suggesting or ‘deeming’ that SS and MS should ‘sleep’ together (at her own request so she could ‘sleep’) …… then why didn’t she have it that SS
spent time with MS in the living room in her own space?* Why, instead, was it a room upstairs? Out of sight and more secluded? More distant?
I don’t have any good or positive feelings about why instead they were sent upstairs. Is it because someone wanted to be undisturbed? Or was it specifically so that it wasn’t close enough to be aware of any activity? And a more remote or secluded location? SMH.
*and by asking this I am in no way condoning or sanctioning what was allowed to transpire in that residence. And IMO from early discussion about ‘reasonable’ and child endangerment, this also further narrows what is ‘reasonable’. MOO
