Having exp. with survivors is NOT the same as being one....
This is not directed at you Jana but to everyone who disbelieves...I am gonna put this in CAP LOCKS, I am not yelling...just wanna make this heard and read, and I feel if I dont put in cap locks it'll be looked over:
ALL YOU WHO ARE SO EAGER TO BELIEVE CASEY WOULD LEAVE HER DAUGHTER ALONE IN AN APT. FULL OF STRANGE MALES TO OPEN THE DOOR TO STRANGERS ETC....BUT DON'T BELIEVE SHE WOULD LEAVE CAYLEE ALONE WITH GEORGE IF HE MOLESTED CASEY.....
Well I just don't get it.....
IMO, that shows that she either:
1) Just didn't care about the risk to Caylee in general ie: she did nothing to attempt to stop the cycle of abuse.
2) She has had no personal experience with SA that would cause her to be hyper-vigilant about protecting her daughter.
I am not saying there's no possibility that it's true, just that I personally don't believe it.
I do see the grey areas here. It's not black and white. Nothing ever is.
I have personal experience of SA. I was pimped out by my grandmother , who had also pimped out her own children.
My mother let my grandmother babysit me and even take me on a holiday , but her abuser was long gone, so she thought I was safe. Had he still been around my mum would NEVER have left me alone with him.
She just didn't realize how many abusers there are out there....And she certainly didn't know the holiday was a ruse to serve me up on a platter to my uncle.(who was later convicted of abusing scores of children. boys. girls. his own children. his nieces...pretty much every young child he came in contact with).
The above is the very reason I am so hyper-vigilant about the safety of my children..... and why I CHOSE to stop the cycle of abuse. It's also why I don't just keep them away from known abusers, and view everyone as a potential abuser.
I think the DT should have gone with emotional abuse/ learned behaviours from a dysfunctional family. Ie: lying and money 'issues' learned from GA, and denial learned from CA, especially since there's plenty of evidence to support that.
MOO
