I personally don't think it has any thing to do with incompetence, per se. I think it has more to do with control by confusion. Oldest trick in the book. I don't think this was all media induced. I clearly see the sensationalism, however, a lot of the confusion started to come to a halt when the parents shut up. Their stories changed with each interviewer... which led to over half of the problem. While I do see that there was moments that I could give credit for the fact these were potentially highly traumatized parents... as the days rolled by, and the more they talked, the more confusion set in.
If it were my child I'd be on every station by press conference answering all questions, squelching all rumors unless instructed by LE that I should not. I don't care if it turned into a never-ending tennis match... That's my baby is the only thing that would be running through my head. NOTHING would take precedence.
I feel pretty confident that LE knows quite a bit more than we do. I think they most likely have enough evidence, but it may be circumstantial. I have felt quite a bit of patronizing going on.
I believe the Network paid this atty in lieu for the interviews and Mr. Talking-Bobble-head Joe atty and Wild Bill are in it as with every other case, sensationalism. Absolutely NO professionalism. Now, even they are maintaining that they are not saying these parents are innocent or guilty.
What I am being asked to believe is that....
A self admitted drunk kid, who takes "Anxiety" meds, that comes from a family of high dysfunction, who is known for her "attention seeking behaviors" which reportedly has a history of chaos and drama with others, and a history of poor decision making skill, is only 25 years old and two children from two fathers (not ending the first marriage prior to this current relationship), left her ill child COMPLETELY unattended for 9-10 hours. (No diaper change?), citing indignantly on NATIONAL TV that she has the "right to alcoholic adult time", showing NO remorse (believes her own lie) for the consequence of this irresponsible behavior (only on cue- not her fault, not her fault, not her fault!), and by temper-tantrum will not work with the very authorities that can help her poor child...
That she should not be considered a suspect?
