Does anyone have any idea why Disneyland seems to surface in cases with twisted people?
We saw it in the Heather Elvis case where the family that is suspected of killing Heather had an obsession with everything Disney.
And we are seeing it in this case. There may be other cases.
Is there something about the way Disney makes everyone feel they are in a fantasy land that it would attract people living in their own fantasy?
Another question that has been bugging me is what was with all the names starting with "J"? The Duggars did the same thing. Is that to keep them from being independent and having an identity of their own or something?
Just some things I have been wondering about and wondering if there is something more deep about it?

Bbm: Good Q. I am not sure...
I had no idea the original Disney Land, CA has been around for this long. But I do know from growing up in that era that children were not marketed to like they are in the last few decades especially. I never even heard of it until it opened in Florida! I never knew anyone growing up who went to DL.
On the north east coast, we went to the shore for entertainment. Trips were national park oriented in the 50's-70's...
So my guess is with the explosion of children's entertainment, 80's and on, huge marketing, and now social media to record everything, it has become the ultimate destination for kids & families?
Ironic really, with a family of this size, and living in the natural beauty of CA and the wonder of the West, with all the teaching opportunities that abound, that they travelled repeatedly to the artificial fantasylands of Vegas with Elvis, and Disney Land. --In this case, it was not for the kids, either, just for the image. Imo
-Really sad.
