Of course, they did state she can speak basic English, I think they may feel concern in case she doesn't fully understand. They may want to ensure when it goes to trial they allowed her the opportunity to tell her side of the story, and she fully understood the charges put against her. Just MHO.

i understood her need for a translator was for her communication with the lawyer not police. I'm sure if she didn't understand what the police were saying in the interview they would have contacted a translator. Although not too familiar on the interview policies in US on translators. But I do...

As far as I can tell from the links on here, she didn't stay where she was after she attacked Katie. The 15yo walked away and was either found by the couple and taken in or she called the police. I remember her stating in the 999 call that she didn't know where she was and they located her using...

I certainly agree with you on this statement. Irregardless of our views, what these individuals did to their own child is horrific and we can hope the US ensures these individuals pay for crimes they have committed. And there is justice for this little girl. Just MHO.

RE: Bolded by me There is not sufficient evidence to state corporal punishment is bigger issue in China than America. The article was written by individuals located in Singapore - Asia is huge - there are a variety of religions and belief systems along with variations in the law. So it truly...

I can personally say these comments being made about relating China's culture to one of abuse have offended actual Chinese people. As it is not a true or fair representation. The point is no one has related this to American culture, why not? If they clearly have similar opinions and legislation...

RE: bolded by me Their demeanour in court does not relate to a culture of abuse. Secondly they have not spent enough time in court to truly justify the comments their demeanour is from their culture and upbringing, as someone previously stated the man arrived from a young age, so by that point...

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/786990.shtml "It is also worth noting that the U.S. is relatively unusual in terms of attitudes, prevalence, and legal sanctions. Hitting children is more culturally acceptable in American than in many other nations – not only by parents, but by teachers...

I think you are not understanding what I am trying to say. My point is although in China beating's etc may be present it is also present in other countries. For example I can say well there are Christians who belief in gay conversion therapy and actively encourage its use, but that is not saying...

IMO I don't believe cultural differences are a huge part in this. Child abuse is a worldwide issue not just specific to China. Articles even written by MSM can be biased. Many Irish people as well as across the world turn to spiritual guidance as a method to 'heal their demons'. Which can be...

it is truly heartbreaking, not how this girls birthday should have been spent. Hopefully they will be able to put her to rest soon.

"b) there is significant evidence of the defendant having mental health issues, evidenced from the fact s/he was currently under mental health treatment or is, or has been, subject to a determination under the Mental Health Act; In Kent the Eligibility/Suitability Criteria have been abolished...

IMO her death may have been far worse. There could have been a lot of blood etc. If they said she went missing at home they may have found the blood splatter. They moved her to a place where they thought it would be difficult to find her. Poor girl. I hope her sister is taken in by a loving...

IMO . It's just sad they would go through so much effort to hide her rather than get help. I will say one thing that stands out to me is the 'green fluid' coming from her mouth. I don't know too much about brain injuries but I did my best to research it but cant see what the connection was...

I've been catching up on the posts. This story is truly heartbreaking. The poor little girl. IMO I've seen the back in a few Chinese restaurants and takeaways. I'm not sure how different the practices are in the UK and US but they have these big boxes where they keep prawn crackers. When they...
