Alleged rape victim, surely? Is there any proof this event happened?

Just what i was thinking . It's been reported that she was a liar and a fantasist even at that age, so unless they have proof that she actually was raped they may as well have thrown in her other claims of having had leukemia and a teenage pregnancy in too.

In the public gallery Becky's dad is holding hands with his wife - who is Nathan Matthews' mother.
 
I'm torn with this one because, it depends on how involved TW was in Becky's upbringing. It's one thing to be a step parent and another to be a step-parent who is actually raising a child day and night for over a decade.

My own ex husband can barely fit our children in since he remarried (they have no children at all) and if anything happened to them (my kids) my thoughts would be 'you couldn't be bothered when they were alive so why should you get preferential treatment now' .. but eeek! It's all just too complex, step families and estranged relatives and multiple families can cause chaos at any social occasion never mind this awful situation :(

Reading her impact statement, I think its clear that she was still very much around for Becky. I'm sure Becky used to go there a lot, with her best friend, for meals, to collect her pocket money and so on.

Becky's mum has written a very poignant statment, which is one of the most heart-breaking I have ever read. This lady was close to her daughter, there is no doubt about that, for me. Maybe she was unable to have custody of her children for some reason, but I really don't get the impression Becky and her brother were abandoned by their mum, like SH was.
