Point taken regarding philosophies (although I'm not the only one to express philosophies in these forums - even on this thread, I think?).. But I very much DO believe she is a victim, and don't see the bolding to indicate otherwise? <modsnip> I'm happy just to leave though, since I only seem to...

Just read this on another article that I admit isn't written too professionally, but still must hold some truth. I don't understand the quote in italics. "Had Tiahleigh turned up dead in NSW, as opposed to Queensland, there&#8217;s a very good chance that the public wouldn&#8217;t be allowed...

At what age are you legally allowed to leave home of your own free will and not required to have to have parental guardianship associated with you? Is it different for each state?

I remember that movie. It left a profound impact on many. True, kindness is something we can give to others daily, and is more valuable than people realise. It could make the difference between saving someone's life sometimes, or not. Sometimes I think those that make time to be kind are doing...

I'm sorry you feel that way. We are all trying to grieve for our society, and our world, and individual people, in the way we can manage and to do so still with respect to all involved. We are all different. As long as we still speak with respect to all involved (and I do try to do that) then I...

Yes that's true, but thinking that way only enhances pain and suffering for those left behind. That's okay if they choose and want to think that way (it is understandable and their choice). But for me, it would only enchance my suffering, so it is a coping mechanism to ease suffering. (and even...

No, I have been misunderstood (and that's okay). My sentiments are meant to be a COPING MECHANISM for those left behind. NOT as a way to treat Tiah (or others like her) when they are alive. So yes, There is PLENTY of point (in looking for missing children like her). There is point in looking...

Yeah it doesn't hold up, and I doubt anyone is going to give any credence to that story. I think her facebook quote (the mother's) which was included in a mainstream media story (link below) says it all really. Not even a hint of regret for her actions or letting her daughter down as her...

I know it sounds callous, but I try to think of it as focusing on the positives, as we never will know the future now. But Tiah sounded very troubled, very off the rails, very defiant, a free-spirit, very affected by the unstable past she had. None of that was her fault. She was truly a victim...

Can I ask why then, are the media are still allowed to talk about the car crash - or even us for that matter ? IMO this does fall into prior history even if it wasn't a formal conviction (it was still a formal legal consequence that happened to DH, right?) Sorry, this is my first ever post on...

Thanks for your support. I don't often get anyone agreeing with me, I am usually the one who writes "way out" or "differing perspective" posts, and not often does it hit home with someone. So thank you. :) I truly believe in personal responsibility as being an important key here (it is often...

I always am left feeling helpless when I hear of things like this. Trying to enact change in he court, in the punishments and other 2ndary things seems so hard to attain. I end up reminding myself, that, as with everything, it has to start with yourself. 1. Choose your partner carefully. He/she...

I don't see A LOT of parallels (Maybe just a couple of things). Curious, Marly, what is making you think most, that it's similar?

On a news report talking about the most recent appearance in court with the family of CC, the newsreporter said he was a father to 4 (four) children himself.

thanks so much for that. Oh - I do kind of find that sad. :( Why would a 3 year old sleep there and not in with her sisters at least on their floor? Or in with Mum and Dad on their floor? :( Trying not to judge but a 3 year old generally likes to feel surrounded by human comforts or a special...
