I think I feel that ScW, suspected of abuse of a minor and charged with murder, is discussed less than SaW. I'm including myself in this: I've posted several times, and each time about SaW. But a few posts upthread have crystallized a vague awareness that SaW is the lightening rod for discussion, emotions and comments, rather more than ScW, who almost certainly killed BW.
I think SaW is in it up to her neck; her actions (that we already know of) are absolutely deserving of the vitriol, and I'm among the baffled observers wondering how that joint enterprise charge was dropped (and hoping that it is brought again), but it still just struck me as interesting, and not something I recall observing to this extent in cases I've read here over the years.
Is it just because of where we are in terms of the trial timeline, the tiktok, the lifestyle choices, the love of attention etc.? The fact that as BW's mother, it's all more inexplicable/unforgiveable? There are posts suggesting that she is the mastermind and the one with control of the whole enterprise. I think I probably instinctively agree for some part with this, but I'm forcing myself to address why I think that: am I judging by the fragments (the social media, etc) on what I think I 'know' about SaW?
A couple of posts have - probably unintentionally - almost made ScW sound like a secondary player, or incidental participant in SaW's horrific enterprise. Given that he has abused BW for years, and probably murdered her, there's some incongruity there.
I'm just thinking out loud really. To be clear, I don't think SaW deserves any less bitter castigation, but ScW seems to be attracting less explicit, emotive condemnation, although that may change as things proceed, I guess.
