---------------------> Now here is what is bothering me - warning rant ahead! Why in God's green earth would it or should it take a court ruling and more pain for the Dulin family to get Kensi and Grace and be able to start them toward healing? I get so darn mad thinking that they must now fight to show a court what is in the "best interest of the children." Seriously - how in the name of all that is good, can there even be a question??? I see a few posters on waco trib, etc (whom all have the same linguistic patterns and despite the variety of names, it is clear they are one person and if I am being generous, two at best!) but they rant on about how it would be disruptive to "jank" the girls from the Bakers. They claim and two of the names even joined another forum like this one, proudly posting what are suppose to be Kensi's facebook entries. Saying that her profile is public, but they don't know how to link it. Well it is not public. And she is a minor - so if it is a private facebook, what on earth can barbara- darn, strike that name, as I can't find my eraser .....but what can they possibly be thinking???? I know one thing, it is not what is best for these children. I have written to the admin of that board hoping to get the posts removed for two reasons: 1. It is a Minor childs private facebook and 2. The posts don't sound right coming from a child whose father has just been sent to jail for at least 30 years (longer when we all write the parole board!) but *IF* those posts - bragging and claiming to be soooooo happy are really from the child, it should be a RED FLAG that the child is not coping properly with the revelation of the past weeks. So, who will get them the counseling they need?
The Bakers have shown me not one reason to believe that they see these girls as any more than chattel property. It has even been reported that Matt Baker signed guardianship over to his mother prior to the trial. Shows intent to keep them as possessions. Dagnabit, why can't CPS ever just step in and say, whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - we see a problem here. Where is Gloria Allred - maybe I ought to write her and ask her to look into helping these girls get safe, ASAP.
How can the people who alienated the girls and covered for pertinent facts relating to the crime be allowed to be known; hold the girls hostage and force a court battle? Barbara admits she knew about the affair with Vanessa the summer after her son murdered his wife and the girls mother. Then we have Barbara saying:
From 20/20:
Matt's mother, Barbara, remains convinced that her daughter-in-law took her own life. "Suicide is an answer to pain you can't get rid of," she said. "There was pain that Kari was undergoing that she either couldn't or didn't get the proper help for and that was not a bad answer for her."

So, if we look at this psychologically twisted response - and we extrapolate what her advice might be to the girls, should they become distraught at the reality of their world - having nobody to talk about losing their mother three times. Once in life, again at the hands of alienation and a third time by being deprived of being able to recapture a sense of who their mother really was -- now, being told that their dad is innocent? When does the madness stop?
I am hot about this, as I have spent 5 years working on the effects of alienation done to children with a father, much like the psychopath in this story. After 5 hard - horribly hard years, progress is being made, but childhoods, milestones and lots of love were lost over the needs and desires of one narrasict sociopath. I can't stand to think of this happening to one more family. Especially ones who have shown they have the means and the heart (forgiving a man not even worthy of forgiveness as he has no remorse --- but I understand they can, for themselves and for the girls) to get the girls counseling and give them memories and security and respect their love of their father (despite what has happened) and grandparents (despite their abuse of power and abuse of their emotional health, via their own denial and words I quoted above) --- Why? Can someone tell me why?
Please weigh in on what you think on this, as it really sits heavy on my heart and while I want to be relieved for the justice for the murder, I won't feel peace until there is justice for Kari's name and girls emotional well being.
UPDATE: The admin of the other site, removed the facebook entries!
