I honestly don't believe that anyone's intent here is to "re-victimize" the victims.
Everyone here has shown (rightfully) nothing but compassion and sympathy for them.
In a previous post I talked about the rampant speculation (which I dislike) aspect of this forum, and about hypothesizing.
People are trying to
understand WHY Brooke was "targeted" and the events that led to her kidnapping and death.
We certainly don't have all of the facts in this case.
Per the affidavit, we know that AR said that there were three other girls "enrolled" in Breckenridge.
She also said "the first who 'does it' lives and the second gets her throat cut".
Of course you may disagree, but how does questioning anyone's potential previous involvement in Breckenridge
not have a bearing on the case?
By considering
all of the possibilities, perhaps it would increase understanding (and yes, intellectual growth). Perceptions are tricky... I did not see ANYONE "blaming the victims" in any way, shape, manner or form.
But on the other hand, the idea of considering some questions/hypotheses "taboo" with regard to discovering facts that may possibly speak DIRECTLY to motive and/or opportunity seems a little misguided if not counterproductive. IMHO.
If you think that Brooke's "history" (if any) is
not being looked into by LE, I think you are mistaken.
As I said in another post, however, whether or not a public forum is the place to discuss these things is debatable... I'm fairly certain that there are people lurking/reading this forum that know things pertaining to this case that have not yet been revealed, and may be equally upset by some of the misinformation presented here.
I, for one, appreciate any discussion---
My 2¢
Edit:
While I was typing, twinkiesmom put it much more succinctly:
Incest is a crime in which silence leads to death and more victims. Light needs to be shined in dark corners in this case. Brooke can not be hurt by our questions.
If Brooke was sexually active at 12...it would make prior abuse almost a certainty given the family structure (close contact with two pedophiles).
