You say "I don't discount bad behavior in the face of a tragedy" I don't either as long as it has anything to do with the case.
Maslow aside, I happen to agree with NSC that this could have something to do with the case. Just objectively speaking, there was more than one man hanging around that house (I'm not calling her a hussy, really, but we really have no idea) and the pictures on the internet paint an interesting picture. Call me judgemental if you will, but as a mother you will NOT see pictures like that of me on the internet (or off, but that's neither here or there) and I really think it's inappropriate. I'm not a prude, per se, but I think it's poor judgement to post such things when you're the mother to little eyes.
We don't know what kind of attention that brought Diena, and if that attention perhaps brought attention to her daughter. All parents need to realize that some people are wired completely wrong and won't draw the line between an adult and a child. Men you bring into your life, innocently or not, necessarily won't stop at coveting you. Most guys can be wonderful, but some aren't. There are certain realities to some crimes and without blaming the victim, there are certain proactive steps you can take to help minimalize your risk. That includes limiting or monitoring access to your children when they're outside your presence and being hypervigilant to habits and patterns of your child that might put him/her at risk.
I'm not saying DT was a bad parent. I just think that maybe there was a crack left in the door that, if closed, could have possibly prevented this death. Unfortunately, hindsight is not 20/20.
And I guess I'm saying the same thing NSC was--that while I feel such heartwrenching sympathy for Diena, I'm not sure that makes her immune to scrutiny while the investigation is ongoing.
My response:
Please show me how any one thing, or all of them together, makes the case that Diena is somehow responsible for her daughter being abducted, murdered, and thrown in the trash. And next, please tell me how the innuendos of her sex life on Facebook would invite pedophiles. TIA
I think that the whole point is that we need to remove emotion from this for a moment and look objectively at
everything. Quite frankly, if you post those kind of pictures of yourself, perhaps you're inviting attention. Perhaps they're indicative of a ...vibrant...sex life. That doesn't mean Diena is responsible for the murder, obviously, but it could mean that her behavior or habits might have brought someone into her life that did this to Somer.
That's not saying she's to blame. But it's an investigative angle to persue and perhaps means that instead of this hyperfocus on RSOs, there should be closer attention paid to the men in DT's life.
