Denise could have prevented Brooke's murder, so could have Cassandra.
IMO
Her is a thought on Denise and Casandra.
We heard about divorce rumors and that Denise and AR were going to go to counciling. Maybe Denise went to Casandra with her fears of MJ messing with AR. Maybe they encouraged Brooke to hang out with AR because maybe AR would tell Brooke before she would tell an adult. If it was me I'd take my babies and run, but maybe Casandra wanted ammo for the divorce proceedings.
Sometimes I try to take a charitable view of people. :blowkiss:
According to this article posted by emanon7
Investigation leads to Cullman
Gagnon lived in Cullman from 1998 - 2007. They also say that he and Cassandra seperated about 4 years ago.
You misread my post... I said she's indirectly responsible.
Yes, this is what I feel also. She (Denise) certainly did not act on what she saw with her own eyes! Had she done the right thing THEN, maybe Brooke would not have been murdered.
Cassandra could have kept Brooke out of a convicted sex offenders house. The cousins could have visited somewhere else. It should have been explained to those children why MJ was not to be around them.
I have no apologies for feeling this way. The sisters both put themselves ahead of the well being and safety of their children.

I absolutely agree that these two sisters have a lot of dumb, blind, stupid, ridiculous actions to be held accountable for. I agree that the children in their families should have been made aware of why no one can be left alone with this uncle MJ and that they should have enforced that.
But, I don't think..unless they took part in anything to do with Breckenridge or the murder that LE will arrest them. I wish they could ..just for being stupid!!!
I do think that someone from Child Services should be looking into the family situation , talking to the rest of the children and setting up guidelines with them on who is permissable to be with the children and who isn't..since these foolish women couldn't figure that out for themselves..nor either of the grandmothers involved. That is what I find so appalling..all these adult women in their lives and no one seemed to have a clue that the kids shouldn't be near the SO in the family.
I feel the same way! All the children in this were failed!!!!!!! The adults (especially the two pedophile loving mothers) should be held responsible. They (meaning everyone) let their children around KNOWN sex offenders. I will tell you this much,.. it would be a cold day in hell before I would let anyone that was a sex offender,..(even if it wasn't against a child) be around my daughter!
What I don't understand is,.. If Brooke's real dad knew she was visiting TWO sex offenders,.. why the hell didn't he try to get custody of her? I just don't get it. The family, friends and law officials failed Brooke, AR, Savanna, C, and all of the other children in this family TREMENDOUSLY!!!! JMO
Sorry about the rant,.. I just don't understand how you can love someone so much and put them in harms way.
I realize that Denise and MJ's youngest child has been ID'd in the media as well as Brooke's half brother-someday one or both of them may google themselves and these threads will come up. I know that the TOS as set forth by stated leaving them out of it until their names were out in the mainstream media, but I wish oh wish we did not have to take that step simply because we can....
They are so exceptionally innocent, and I am actually concerned that Denise might, (and I mean might) be using the youngest as an example that they have nothing to hide-or that their lives are business as usual or for some other agenda...I mean who has a child that young speak at a funeral that is as high profile as this one??
JMHO.

I have a related question. If Gagnon lived in AL from 98-07 and married Cassandra in 2000, was she living in Alabama at that time or did she move there when they married?Thank you for the link posted above. I found this interesting;
snip
James Bennett, Brookes father, said Gagnon had been married to Brookes mother, Cassandra Gagnon, whose sister is married to Jacques. Bennett said they separated about four years ago and may have divorced.

What 6 years was Brooke living under this guy's roof? I mean, they appear to have separated when Brooke was 8...when did she arrive in VT?

With all due respect, Denise allowed her youngest to talk in front of a crowd of nearly a 1000 people, and in front of local and national media.
These threads are the last thing I think those kids will worry about if they google their names when they get older. Especially considering the case at hand.
I have not mentioned the name of her daughter even though it's everywhere in the media, but it's not like everyone doesn't know it.
I whole heartedly agree!! It just bothers me that these two sisters were married to SOs. It makes me wonder, were they victims of sexual assult at one point in their lives? Or is it just a huge coincidence that they both happened to fall for SOs? Not that it excuses the neglect to their children's safety. Stupidity is not an excuse either, it's criminal. Who knows what other dark secrets are being swept under the rug in that family. The whole thing is sickening. ALL IMO.
