I keep having a few questions which I don't think have concrete answers, but I would like your opinions.
I need to say first off that I think Sharon was victimized from the day Floyd took possession of her until the day she was killed. Regardless of whether she was abducted at age 4 or later, she was traumatized to the point that she probably lost most of her early memories. Memories of how parents loved her, if she ever had loving parents.
My questions are regarding Floyd's motivations for keeping Sharon with him past adolescence, and about her multiple pregnancies. IMO, he is a pedophile. His sick sexual focus is on children, not mature looking teenaged girls and grown women, right? If what I gleaned from Matt's book is right, then Floyd most likely prostituted Sharon out, as is hinted early in her HS days with the provocative clothing and sheer lingerie incident related by her HS friend. She was surprised at the club clothes, the dancing, the way Floyd left the girls in the nightclub, and Sharon's non-teenaged lingerie.. We know that later she was a stripper and had friends who had sex for money.
So, here's my question: If Floyd prostituted Sharon out, why didn't he put her on birth control pills?
I keep going over and over the fact that we know she had 3 pregnancies which resulted in live births in her short life. During at least 3 months in each pregnancy, I assume that she was not able to " earn money" for him in the usual way of stripping and possibly prostitution. I am not sure if he made her be a prostitute, but I suspect so from reading, and from what we know of his actions. If this is correct, why no oral contraceptives?
I considered the paper trail that would have existed for the prescriptions, but decided this wasn't the reason due to their frequent name changes and transient status, Fake legal documents seemed to be one of the man's strong points, probably though Dial or another ex-con friend. Plus, if we are correct that Rebecca Barr was involved with Floyd during that time and later, then she ( or another female) could have gotten birth control pills for Sharon.
Does anyone have a theory as to why he seemed to be so protective of " his possession" but neglected to take measures to prevent at least 3 pregnancies which resulted in births? Why didn't Sharon get pills after she was old enough to do so on her own? Also, does anyone have a theory as to why 2 babies were adopted but Michael was kept? Nothing seems any different in her life as we know it. What was different about the baby she was " allowed" to keep? I wondered if Floyd wanted a home-grown child to abuse, but that still doesn't explain why two were adopted out, especially if he had a preference for a child of one sex over the other. Sharon's adopted children are said to be 1 boy and 1 girl.
Sharon suffered so much, and I will never forget her tragic life and death.
With great respect for her life,
Maria
