I was just told after briefing, 17-yr-old's stepdad was at home during the arrest. Mom was not home but is now talking to investigators.
4:42pm - 9 Aug 14

But isn't blaming the parents like blaming a rape victim for being out at 11:30 at night wearing a short skirt? We should be able to be out in our communities without being raped or murdered.

No. Parents have a duty to protect their children. If they were watching her and she had half hour check-ins or was to stay within sight of their home and something happened then that is different. So very, very different. I keep hearing that it could still happen even if she was watched and while that is true I think the likelihood is way smaller. Same as accidents happening less if a parent keeps an eye on their kid. Just because it happens sometimes when a parent does watch shouldn't mean all parents just give up and leave it to chance. Moo.

I agree, my son is 21 now and I would never have let him be on his own at that age. I just hate to see victim blaming. Yes, it probably wouldn't have happened if she were supervised to our standards, but in the end there is one person responsible and that's this 17 year old.

The only victim here is Jenise, and I am not blaming her one bit.

Also, we MUST start teaching boys that they are NOT entitled to girls' bodies.

And it's not my brothers' or guy friends' they're viewing anymore. And for many males, at a much earlier age, of a much more degrading type, and more often.

Let's see what LE finds on his devices re child and/or very violent adult .

As for the short skirt analogy. I agree. It would not be the victim's fault. But when my beautiful daughter moved into her studio apartment, I was not concerned about whose fault it would be if she were attacked. I did advise her not to wear provocative clothing and come home alone late at night, as she parked on the street. I did warn her that if she got drunk at a party, she was vulnerable to potential bad things happening. Even if it is not 'her fault', she has to take precautions. If she is going to drink with her friends, they always have ONE sober driver and chaperone among them.

So obviously it is the rapists fault. But it makes me sad and angry that he had such a huge window of time and opportunity to rape and kill this precious baby girl.

We should but the world does not work like that. Parents make their decisions based upon how the world actually is, not how it should be. In an ideal world, a kid should be able to roam where ever they want, but we live in this world. In this world there are pedophiles, kidnappers, murderers, or just plain reckless jerks. In this world, a kid of 6 cannot be unsupervised for more than a few minutes.

A voice of reason and truth.

Whether you agree with her parents parenting, her family are victims too. Her parents, her siblings, her community even.

I wonder how many are actually "shocked"? To me, this is theory #1, the clearly most obvious outcome, when she had been missing for more than 2 days. A young man, in the area, had raped and killed her and dumped her body.

Anyone had any luck determining I.D. of suspect? I'm sure by monday we'll have an adult charge, but hard to wait. I know we can't say name here, just wondering if anyone has found it anywhere.

As a parent who has lost a child, I can tell you that you feel blame no matter what. Even if you did everything completely right, there is still a part of you that wonders if there is something more you could have done. Jenise's parents have been through enough and will blame themselves enough, without everyone else jumping on them too.

The eternal "what if?" and "if only" and most of all "why?!"

My heart aches for all of those who loved this little girl.

I'll be reading the comments from the articles starting now. JMO

Just logged in and as I expected, a teenager. It is always a kick to the gut when you find a missing little one murdered and then your worst fears are for real. I do have a problem understanding a 2nd degree murder charge because what did he expect he was going to do after kidnapping and raping a 6 yr old little girl? There is no way he could just send her home.

I'm keeping an eye on the Find Jenise Wright page.

Well, I disagree to the extent that just because something bad happened to your kid partially as a result of your neglect, does not make you a blameless victim. This poor child's parents put a massive target on her back. I do not think they are victims in this.

I never said blameless. I'm responding the the statement that there is one victim. The family is considered victims here, and I will respect them for that while I'm here.

I'm so sorry for your loss. [emoji26]

I am furious, I mean really, who in their right mind lets a SIX year old wander for hours at a time? My kids are 11, 9 and 2 and we live in a quiet neighborhood and I will NEVER let them play outside alone. This poor child never stood a chance.
I just am heartbroken. This should never have had an opportunity. I hope he gets his due nightly in prison.

what's truly is disgusting is the degrading lyrics to ''songs'' -- not songs at all but diatribes of violent

 

[psyquestor]

I believe I have figured out who the suspect is. If I'm wrong, I will be shocked

ETA: for those saying that the parents should suffer - believe me, there is no worse loss to experience than that of your child. Especially a young child. I guess you will all get your wish that they suffer. smh.

ETAA: I was mistaken.

For those who blame the parents, in my opinion, there are men who are determined to rape and kill a child. They bide their time and wait until they can find one to cull from the herd.

If they can't find one, like in the case of this child who was very available, they snatch one out of the comfort of her bed or porch in broad daylight. Where there's a will, there's a way. If Jenice weren't available, this perp would have waited and waited and if need be, grabbed one who WAS very well-attended. I honestly don't think the numbers of raped and murdered little girls would rise or fall depending on how careful parents supervision is. There are a number of them who will be killed to satisfy a specific number of sickos, and it would just make the sickos work harder - not give up - if children were better supervised. Keeping Jenice supervised wouldn't have saved a life, IMHO - although it would probably have saved her life at the expense of another.

(Keeps trying to remember the name of that adorable little 4 year old who was snatched off her front porch, playing with a 7 year old girl friend, in broad daylight. Summer? Samantha?)

Also the parents and family members of the alleged murderer. They are probably as shaken and disturbed as a person can get.
