Broodie, my adorableness...JonBenet's Mama killed her in a fit of pique, and staged a cover-up to divert attention away from herself. Patsy was stressed out about the facade she was trying to keep together...and had stressed out in the past about her daughter's toileting issues. If you look at crime statistics in the US and elsewhere, many children who are murdered and/or abused by a parent, unfortuantely, have this done to them over toileting issues. This is a fact...
Also, not only are beauty pageants for childrent NOT normal and NOT acceptable, but the way this child was dressed at the age she was was particularly horrific. The Ramseys are a very disturbed and dysfunctional family, to this day. The reason that some folks have touble "seeing" this is because they "look like such nice folks", and they have money and lots of "things" (possessions), and live in a style that some folks are envious of.
If the Ramseys lived in a trailer park and did this *advertiser censored* to their daughter, I guarantee you that Patsy would have been on death row, and John would be in jail for a very long time for being an accessory.
The autopsy stated that this was not the first time JonBenet had been abused. LE thought that she had abused JonBenet on several occasions over toileting issues. Several people who had "run-ins" with Patsy stated that she had an explosive temper that could "go off" at a moments notice when she was not getting her wqay (The "Little Girl with a Curl" syndrome...."when she was good, she was very, very good; when she was bad she was horrid..."
It is horrible to think that a mother could be so angry and narcissistic that she could do this to her daughter; that's why some folks would rather think about a stranger-pedophile committing this crime...It's easier to process than a priveleged mother committing this crime, but it is not the truth....
