Back to regular posting now. IIRC Casey Anthony was granted an investigator too. Murder trials call for greater leeway in what is funded because it limits appellate issues later. As for the child being fit to stand trial, he should not even be in the courtroom. We don't let them into family...

Just offering another perspective here. I understand the need for us to feel that this childs crimes are a result of abuse, as then it can't happen to us. I raised 6 bio children and then added 2 bonus children 5 years ago. They are now 12 and 13. Despite my therapeutic parenting techniques, my...

Trauma isn't just created by crappy parents or being fostered. These people are BORN with the propensity for psychopathy. It is not always possible to 'nurture' it away, but excuse me if I keep on trying. They will be violent, aggressive and destructive and show zero compassion or empathy. This...

My best guess is that social services took the baby. There will be no reporting as these cases are private to shield the children.

There is an explanation of why there are more socially outcast kids. This is at the core of why the US has more mass shooting. I am re-parenting a child who is currently almost 12 with a trauma and neglect history. This has led to deficits in his brain chemistry and I am working hard to NOT see...

I am saddened by the hatred towards the killer and the assumption that he is some sort of spoiled brat. This is probably because of my own personal path. He is likely pale because of his lack of outdoor activities, his eyes are void of emotion, his actions are callous and unemotional, and if you...

As the hour of this ordeal draws closer and we prepare to celebrate the rescue of the 13, could I ask that we keep the positivity going until the many divers and volunteers are also safe. There is a lot of equipment to be removed and many exhausted people to evacuate before we can call this...

I've been sitting silently in the corner throughout this ordeal. I don't have anything substantial to add except to say that the 2 British divers are already O.B.E's, it was mentioned in one of the links to a Newspaper article in either this thread or the last. It was awarded following an...

Whoops, posted to soon .......I do understand the many reasons behind privacy and I am not judging her based solely on her facebook profile.

She has public posts about her sons, just not the little one. I am fiercely protective of my adopted 'littles' but I make mention of them without naming them.

Suffocation is also hard to show. The article mentions that the wooden table was in the garden, the fact that the mother keeps repeating 'I'm sorry' suggests that she knows what happened. Rules regarding interviewing suspects is fairly strict in the UK (not rigid due to terrorism, but in...

As a country (US and UK) we decided that mental hospitals were cruel and inhumane. We didn't change the way these hospitals worked, we closed them and sent people into the community. We didn't increase the number of health workers that this would require. The mental health care system is now...

I saw them too. I have now come across several of her comments on other family members posts. Still, a lot of drinking, pouting and unstable moods are evident. Not much to say further because it would not be within TOS. The UK press will remain a bit tight lipped until the trial begins. The...

Yes, she mentions her son a few times, including his having gone to a game. She also uses her sons facebook to respond to a friends post. I am sure that we will find a back story here. I rarely post my littles names and only just started adding a pic or two, however I do make mention of 'funny...

Trial date is Dec 3rd 2018. Carly was 'too ill' to appear today. Trial date set for woman accused of murdering four-year-old girl
