Yeah, I don't think they can succeed either- but I think they are going to try.

To me there is logic to committing suicide far away in a field. I have a family member who committed suicide away from home and away from town in a car. He redirected the exhaust into the interior of his car and went to sleep. Car doors were unlocked, he'd wrapped up financial matters- he'd...

bbm Who knows, maybe they did, but I'd dislike if they were bragging on having done so. Really, I hope this offer sparks a flurry of similar offers for the girls. I'm not naive to be unaware of marketing tactics, but I'm also aware that some people, even business owners, are sincerely moved...

nah, when I called from my cell they confirmed my address without me having to tell them. I think our cell phones have emergency phone technology that either enables them to locate you, or access the address you provide for emergency calls. It's the whole reason skype has to have so many...

Maybe they are going to claim that the girls ran away and he provided space to them- but I'm hoping his little journal is admissible and is as forthcoming as the media reports claim.

Basements stay reasonably cool in the summer as well.

One of his daughters said something about that- I don't remember her exact language, just that when he wouldn't let her see her childhood room she thought it was clutter or junk or something. I think she said pack rat, actually. A lot of people thought he was weird and had issues... they...

There is a younger picture of him in front of the door, and I actually think it looks less like a younger him. Oddly enough.

I think you answered how he bought things without being seen by those in his community and social circles, though. In larger cities communities do tend to stay more "internal." So if someone wants to shop without being seen by those they know, they simply go into another nearby area or community...

I don't want to spend a lot of time arguing this, and have been mostly trying to ignore this line of discussion... But no one but her and her doctors can comment on Michelle's capabilities. At the age she disappeared most would have said the same things about me. I was held back...

Michelle deserves to tell her own story if and when she wants to. I hope she is getting the level of privacy she wants.

Yes. Without going into details, my older brothers' account of our birth mother and my account of her are drastically different. I stopped living with her at age 5ish and they were all older. I simply don't remember the things they remember.

That is true if they are reporting to insurance, everything has to be medically necessary within strict definitions of it. But when you are paying cash (or have a donor promising to pay cash, or have a body of board members deciding to write it off) then those time constraints are no longer...

My first language is one of my weakest. My family began speaking more and more English after my grandmother died, and I've slowly lost it over the years only using it at bigger family gatherings. I bet if she is around Spanish a lot, it will start coming back to her. It's also possible she...

Basically, a woman has the authority over her body to choose not to use her body to sustain the life of her fetus. Nobody else has that authority over her body. Not touching an abortion debate either... just saying why they can have a legal distinction.

I was basically saying the same- all these infractions, if they are infractions, would be wrist slaps. The DA is interested in bigger fish. Let's not waste taxpayer money charging an armed robber with speeding as he left a crime scene, you know?

Like I said, there are SOME things you can prosecute parents for if there is provable medical neglect- but it almost always requires that the medical neglect resulted in severe pain, suffering or death. It's an etchy line- but you couldn't really say that it's law to take a child to the doctor.

I just saw that you were responding to someone asking if they were required by law with "yes" so I was trying to help clarify. We are saying the same thing in different ways though, huh? ;)

No, they aren't. They are "required" in that they are done routinely, but parents can choose not to do them. You do not need to explain this decision to anyone until your child is entering school or day care. It's the establishments that "require" them, not the government.

I really think she had been spared so far. His thing seemed to be early teenager years so I am hoping. JMO, but I think it's possible she wasn't even actually wearing a diaper. I think a grown man who hadn't much experience with kids may call bloomers a diaper. Or she was woken from sleep, a...
