That's one heck of a family then, isn't it - or is it.
This situation brings out the sceptic in me somewhat.
I don't know why, but considering the background of the family, what is it about HM & TS that have attracted OS to become involved to this extent.
I'm not thinking this is exclusively a charitable endeavour maybe more so a business one.
Where does the benefit truly lie and who gains? To what extent does OS benefit from all of this, or do others.
I dunno, FigTree. Oshar is a regular at the prison, to help with translation for English-speaking persons. I think that is why she is often at their trials and court appearances, too. She is half Aussie, and many/most of the English-speaking people she encounters in the prison and at court would be Australian, as we well know.
I can't really see any great business advantage for the family to be involved with Stella/Heather. The family are smart enough to know that large sums of money cannot come their way, and I don't believe they need the money. They are well established, wealthy people. Not middle or lower class people looking for a buck. They must know that Heather and Tommy murdered for money, and with a lawyer in the family they will be able to see the murkiness of the $$$$ situation.
The money is not in Heather's control, and may never be in her control. And they would be aware of the dribbles of $$ that 'Stella' receives, hence the ongoing supply of charitable goods.
I hope, and think that it is very possible, that Oshar's continued involvement is due to empathy for Stella. I believe that someone (she?) was trying to get Heather to allow Stella to leave at a much younger age? IIRC prior media reports suggested that, somewhere along the way.
The best way to help a child is to keep a close eye on them and befriend the mother. No point in making enemies with the person that controls the child. Any social worker will tell us that.
We see such bad people here on WS, but they only comprise a small percentage of the world's population, There are many, many more good people. I hope we can recognise the good ones when they come along. And I hope that Oshar and her family are in that group. I have looked and looked on the internet, and I cannot find a smear or hint of anything bad against them.
For example, Oshar's father is very concerned about dangerous breaches of hotel zoning and the too-close building/encroachment of hotels to roadsides and beaches. Concerned for the population and their safety. He is trying to get someone to enforce the safety laws in that regard.
