I have noticed the Jackie Peterson connection as well. And, can you really imagine the Peterson's grilling Scott? "What happened, son? Tell us everything you know!"? I believe that these types of parents will ask those questions at the beginning, but once they go into denial/protection mode, the questions completely die out, replaced by fanatical bias towards the child's version of events, with no attempt at logical reasoning or further investigation. I don't think they are any questions being asked other than, "How are you feeling? Do you want something else to eat?" I could very well be wrong because Cindy strikes me as a livewire and one who does not like to be challenged or ignored. However, if they are completely in denial/protective mode, it's kind of like a cult mentality where they no longer need to ask questions. In their mind, everything has been answered and will be resolved, naturally. When no resolution is imminent, they will quietly adapt their thinking to the new situation, still fiercely adhering to the angle that their daughter did nothing wrong. It's like the cults in which the leader gives a doosmday date. The date comes and goes but nothing happens. And, the cult members, instead of saying, "Hey! You lied to us, you're wrong and I'm out of here!", say, "Well, God was not ready for us because we are not good enough yet to go back to him." Or something nonsensical like that. It is very irritating, but that's my guess about what is happening, or not happening, in that home
