I do think the anger felt toward the father and the rather harsh judgments being made against him are an unfortunate but understandable reaction to these events.
People want to believe that their children can be safe if only they are careful enough. It is difficult for many people to accept that bad things can happen to innocent children and resist assigning blame to the child's parents. As a result, they look for reasons to find fault with the child's father because it increases their own sense of security. This could never happen to me because I would be more careful.... I would be smarter..... I would *know*. You know what? The reality is that people do the best they can when they are raising their kids, and people aren't perfect. Sometimes they make mistakes, bad judgment calls. Usually things manage to work out okay in spite of this, but sometimes the results are tragic. I don't know how many times I was allowed to wander the toy section of the Sears department store in Hollywood Mall as a young child unsupervised while my mom shopped, but I sure do remember when a young mother allowed her son Adam Walsh to do the very same thing with terrible consequences.
The father is not responsible for a crime that was committed by the child's mother and accomplices. Did he make a regrettable decision by allowing AD another opportunity to be a mother to Shaniya? Yes, and he acknowledges as much. Was the outcome forseeable? Could he reasonably predict the woman who had raised Shaniya for the first year of her life, gave her to him when she felt she was unable to care for her adequately, then pleaded for another chance to be a mom was really planning to sell her into sexual servitude? I don't think so.
Shaniya is a victim. BL and his family are also victims who are suffering terribly from a horrible loss. Stop blaming the victims of this crime and start putting the full responsibility on the perpetrators who committed these despicable acts.
BLESS YOUR HEART...I have a daughter just like you with a very negligent father (passed on now)..And she knew it...But she loved her daddy...and still does.
Shaniya had no choice she had to go live with her mother because BL said it was time for her to start being a mother.
He sent her away from everything good in her life to that place and those people.
He is not a father, has not been a father to any of his kids. He is just a player with a good house, job and car.
Shaniya had no choice she had to go live with her mother because BL said it was time for her to start being a mother.
Did anyone tape the funeral? I don't know if Patty G, is here, just wondering if anyone else did?
TIA
I didn't. A huge, public funeral held by and for the very people who abandonned Shaniya and who by actions or inactions led to her rape and murder is revolting. Now that she is dead, they all love her. When she was alive, they couldn't be bothered. This funeral was to make themselves feel better and assuage their guilt for their own participation in her death.
"I gave my baby toatan and she sold her to a demon that raped her and killed her, let's sing and pray. Help me with my grief, help me pay to dig a whole and throw dirt on top of her and please tell me what a great father I was to her, so I will feel better. Let the children sing to entertain me, even though I am the one who sent this child to her death. In Jesus' name!"
Disgusting.

Um, can we at least quit quoting the negative posts, since imamaze made it clear she is deleting them?
IMA - YOU MUST HAVE THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT.
I think someone needs to quote Tricia's post to us. IMO
I would, but I don't know how to go back and do it.
