No actually there is more evidence that Tina just gave her the baby....they have foot prints and tire tracks...someone saw the gray van
I think that Tina called 911 to appease Rusty....
and the state seems to think that also....
so many excuses...and explanations....and more excuses...but then again we have a right to post ideas/speculation and excuses, we have a right to our opinions
really in any of these "cases" none of us are privy to all the "facts" but we have opinions..and that is what I state here...and my opinion is that no matter how bad Susan Baker is , Tina gave up her own baby to her....she didn't know that the baby would end up in a box, BUT she surely could have told the cops where to look..and she didn't...and I think that is disgusting
why didn't the "family" or whoever get Tina help?
I saw where you have all said that you didn't "know" what was wrong with Tina,...well just from reading about Haleigh I think that Tina has some form of Turner's syndrome.....very short...ostepororis, bad eyes...stopped growing...
wide chest....small /receeding jaw..maybe teeth troubles
low set ears....(I saw even the social worker said that Shannons ears were low set..so are Tina's)...plus have ADHD !!! (This is JMO....an idea I am putting out there) They also CAN be a "handfull"....
Turner's...or a variation of it....can have various symptoms...some more obvious, some less so...it varies from girl to girl
not all Turner's girls are sterile...if the chromosome is not on all the genes they can have children (a minority of them) and the child is usually premature, and likely to also be Turner's syndrome and/or have problems
(Shannon- premature)
however....most families who have daughter's with this get these girls help....growth hormones...counseling....special ed if needed...and help them with their self esteem
I guess Tina never had any of that???
From what I have read there is NO indication that Turner's girls would be "mentally ill">> just maybe have low self esteem...but so many of them do very well! NO indication that they do criminal things or have more problems with drugs or whatever than anyone else...just as anyone can be an alcoholic or into drugs...I guess they can, but I didn't read anything about that
they often are quite bright, tho they may have trouble with math, etc
some of them have trouble expressing or seeing feelings (like you said that Tina looks mad when she isn't)...but many of them overcome that with loving families who work with them, and help them to overcome
Many of these women get the help they need..growth hormones...female hormones...they go on to careers...marry , often they adopt
hopefully with a GOOD family Shannon will get the attention and help that she needs
I find it kind of sadly ironic that the effort used in this wild goose chase could have been used to search for Haleigh
The picture of her is very cute....teddy bear much better "prop" than a bottle of orange sunkist soda
