JMO8778,
So if the vaginal trauma is caused by corporal punishment then thats prior abuse, just as much as if she is being molested?
But JonBenet's genitals show no external brusies or abrasions, would you not expect some from previous punishment sessions?
As I mentioned already I would not be surprised to hear that Patsy disciplined JonBenet for bedwetting in some manner, then again from what I've read, Patsy was preoccupied with her cancer, and expanding her social life to be constantly intervening in JonBenet's hygiene?
Imo corporal punishment or douching do not explain the particular genital injuries inflicted upon JonBenet. In his book Steve Thomas's suggests there may be a link between bedwetting and JonBenet's death e.g. his Toilet Rage theory, I reckon this is a literary device and probably one of the many theories discussed amongst the investigators, but it is in conflict with various aspects of the forensic evidence. If someone had been douching JonBenet then there should have been physical evidence of this e.g. proprietary brand names in Patsy's drug-drawer, LHP would have noticed, or been asked to bin cotton swabs etc, also at 6-years old JonBenet is too young and internally she would not be mature enough require such an unneccessary procedure.
Douching or corporal punishment separately or together do not explain her prior sexual assault or the acute one at the time of her death, anyway, assuming they occurred, what has a sexual assault to do with douching or corporal punishment, the symptoms and side-effects will be different, and if it was simply staging, why wipe her down and bury it beneath layers of clothing?
