I can think of only a few reasons why TH would need secure cell phones--one, to hide a crime from LE, or two, as part of some sort of scenario where TH cannot reveal what really happened to Kyron until the time is right. Something involving his safety. Three, a bit more far-fetched, she, whether guilty or innocent, simply, and possibly misguidedly, wanted privacy. As a raging introvert, I could maaaaaybe buy that.
The two cell phone revelation got me thinking about the second possibility. I've never been on the "Kaine must have been abusive and that's why TH did what she allegedly did" bandwagon. Mostly because there are far simpler alternatives to leaving one's abusive husband than allegedly attempting a MFH and disappearing his son. But the hit I get off folks like DS with her "smugness" and other friend, who (I'm paraphrasing), said the reporters had it all wrong is that they think they are doing the right thing, which includes giving TH untraceable cell phones to aid in whatever this "right thing" is.
So let's assume Kaine is abusing either/both TH or Kyron. For whatever reason, TH doesn't call LE, or contact one of the excellent local DV (domestic violence) organizations, or rely on her friends to simply come get her and the kids and let her stay with them. Instead she comes up with a plot to "disappear" Kyron but leave herself and Baby K in harm's way. That doesn't make sense to me. OK, so maybe only Kyron was in danger. Again, why not just contact LE? Why, if she was actually trying to save him from something, did she possibly hatch some convoluted plot that involves Kyron disappearing at school?
It's possible I'm being classist, as DV can affect people from all walks of life, but it seems to me that TH would have had the resources to get away on her own. She at least had access to a vehicle and some bank cards. But, let's say that for whatever reason, leaving was not possible.
If one was innocent of wrongdoing, but looked guilty, why not simply tell LE why you thought you or your stepson was in danger (but not Baby K?!) and end all the speculation? Wouldn't you want the alleged perp (KH) to be arrested? If this was some sort of plot to protect Kyron, why would you (I'm assuming) use throwaway cell phones to hide your plans from LE? Wouldn't you want LE to know what was going on?
None of this makes sense to me. I wonder if TH told her friends this was all a plot to save Kyron and/or herself from KH and that is why they are helping her. Maybe it made sense to them to help TH with some twisted plot rather than tell her to simply call LE.
I've always leaned towards TH's guilt (On what charges, I don't know, and knowing what we know now, I wouldn't convict her in a court of law.), but I would really hate to find out that she and/or Kyron were actually DV victims. I know abusers can be very good at appearing to be nice people to the rest of the world, but it seems like we would have heard more negative info about Kaine if he were really a--to put it in the mildest terms--big jerk. Wouldn't the MSM have dug up and published something by now? Would Desiree be showing such a united front with KH?
I also know being victimized can really mess with your head, but creating some elaborate plot to make it look like your husband's child disappeared is really crazy (JMHO), no matter what the reason. And if it was done for noble and innocent reasons, why not just tell LE already?! The only other possibility is that someone else did something to Kyron. If so, like many people have said on here, she sure is unlucky.
So after all that rambling, I still have to conclude that TH hasn't told her friends what really happened, and that includes why she needed new cell phones.
:waitasec:
JMHO, YMMV.
So what are the holes in my reasoning? Besides that much of what I assume is fact comes from Unnamed Reliable Sources and may not be true at all.
Thanks.
