The oldest girl went to school until third grade. That is old enough to be diagnosed with any issues with cognition, behavior, learning, physical, social, emotional. Is there any documentation that there were issues?
I wonder why the oldest went to school and the others did not? Was it too hard to get the kids up, dressed, fed and off to school? What inspired that decision?It seems like getting rid of lots of kids for hours of the day would be nice. Perhaps they were required to be home to provide childcare?
Where did they learn this method of childcare? If DT and LT had loving care growing up would they think this was all right? They seemed to have treated their ownselves nicely with meals in restaurants including Applebee’s, trips, cars, and specialized license plates. They knew how to be nice to their ownselves
What do you suppose the marching around for hours was about?
Homeschooling was why they didn't take them to shook, IMO. As homeschooling became more mainstream and more definitively aligned with certain Christian groups and religions, this gave abusers more of an opportunity to engage in "discipline" and/or to cover abject neglect that otherwise could've been uncovered by nosy teachers. It's also a way to isolate the kids so they don't realize other kids are treated better.
I don't think it was a conscious discussion- "Let's homeschool so no one knows how neglected the kids are and so the kids don't realize how insane and cruel we are." Instead i think it would just be a natural part f the progression of their dysfunction, abuse and abnormality.
The marching is probably in part because they never allowed them outside to play or exercise. They knew damn well those kids muscles needed
movement. So they marched them instead of letting them have a life.
More evidence to me that they knew what they were doing was destructive and wrong.
