In the wake of Elaina's autopsy results release, there must, IMO, be many more charges coming. It is my hope that ultimately the judge will choose to have the sentences served consecutively rather than concurrently not only for the perpetrators (AS, SK) but for those who were accessories to the series of cruelties visited upon Elaina. They should serve every minute of their sentences. They should be reminded every day of the enormity of what they have done.
There can, IMO, be no extenuating circumstances that will lessen the punishment for any of the adults in that house who stood by and did nothing to help that innocent baby.
In addition, given their role in this, I would hope that LCCS takes a close look at JK and her husband's relationship with their grandchildren. If they allowed this torture to go on in their home, then who is to say they wouldn't allow this, or more, to happen to their grandchildren. They have shown themselves to be untrustworthy, deceptive, and irresponsible, JMO. The other adults in the house at that time should also be similarly scrutinized. As should RS. Could AS have hurt Elaina at RS's house?
I hope, as well, that financial penalties will be imposed on all those who knew where Elaina's little body had been hidden but did not inform LE that searches of rivers and fields would be of no value. IMO, they should pay the full shot for every search for Elaina that took place. It's one thing to support searches when you have no idea who might have taken a baby or where she might have wandered. It's another to use searches to cover your actions, or to throw suspicion on someone else when you KNOW exactly what has happened. If JK was heard telling people that all SK could be charged with was improper treatment of human remains, then she knew early on what had happened. She should be treated as the cold hearted enabler that she is, IMO, and should pay in what terms of probably means the most to her--cold, hard cash.
We are another day closer to finding Justice for Elaina.
