Can I just say how fracking sick and tired I am of hearing every ludicrous, pie-in-the-sky, unicorns & batboy, abducted-by-aliens, utterly INVENTED and IMAGINARY story to "excuse" or justify the murderous behaviour of the convicted felon by her very own dellusional mother?
My G-d, is there any wonder left in the world why the felon turned out the way she did? Imagine being raised by someone who will backpedal and spin layers of pure unfiltered carp better than a polititian to get her daughter off the hook for every crummy dishonest thing she ever did. How on earth can you teach a child any brand of self-control or responsibility if you never allow them to make mistakes and suffer the consequences?
CA has learned nothing- in fact, LESS THAN NOTHING from this entire sorry experience she calls her life. At one time in the trial, I had a modicum of pity for the woman but it has long since evaporated as her jaws have kept on moving and moving trying to feed the world excuse after excuse about how the entire universe is "misunderstanding" her actually wonderful, loving, responsible and tender hearted daughter who is now also plagued by evil seizures which certainly were the reason her grandchild died alone and cold in the family pool. What will be next? Abuse victim, seizure victim, was the felon also possessed by a Ouiji board spirit who invaded her body and forced her to enter hot body contests as the helpless vessel of the undead?
At this point, I can't tell you who is more mentally sick- the felon or her mother. I think I'm actually beginning to lean towards CA. Can you imagine how dangerous CA would be if she also had murderous impulses? She'd be in the same league as the Ted Bundys of this world: blatant lying, conning sympathetic good natured innocents, using them for her own gain and desires, running from justice.
I would never say this lightly, bc I don't personally believe that people suffer for any reason as a part of "G-d's plan"- I believe people get through life and grow in spite of terrible things that happen- and in this case with all the poison and toxicity in that family, perhaps that beautiful child had an escape somehow from what may have been an even scarier life of a slower and more prolonged pain and misery that she wouldn't have had the capacity to survive in such an environment. Who can tell?
I don't know what any of this is supposed to teach us. All the people who have had such powerful emotions over the case and the players, and who have been moved to act in ways to stand up and SCREAM on the behalf of one voiceless child. It's like trying to find the single grain of sense in an entire sand-filled beach of crazy.
MOO.
