I don't think the innocent family should have to move. I can understand if they would like to but the community does support them and that is critical to their healing ((JMHO)) the kids would do well to be around others who care.
I'm sure your wording was innocent but of course both families are "innocent". What GG did doesn't reflect on his family.
I agree with the unfortunate wording but he is probably unable to process things like wording right now. I completely understand what he is saying though.
And none of us knows what it's like to have the news stations camped out on your doorstep, ready to grab the best "sound bite". Nobody learns how to talk to the press without a PR person or getting slammed all over the internet first.
I do not understand bail being offered. I know I have read other cases where there was a"no bail". What is the difference here if anyone knows? TIA.
I'm from Washington and still read the local news daily and it's super common to have bail here, even high bail. It doesn't seem odd to me at all.
BBM This x 10 !~ You said it exactly right. There is the 'lock the kid outside while you turn tricks and smoke crack AND spend the grocery money on alcohol instead AND don't fed or bathe the kids because you're too busy buying new nails for your 14th date of this week ' neglect . But there is also the " im sure it'll be fine, nothing has ever happened before AND the kids know the area and who to trust ' kind . The latter is not as much neglect in my book as it is ignorance is bliss and naivety and hopefully optimistic . Sadly, in this case , it seems even if J was never allowed to wander the neighborhood alone,the outcome would be the same. The threat was inside her house at her dinner table and not ' out there' anyway.
100% agreed. How would anyone know that a friendly kid who comes to dinner would suddenly become a rapist/murderer?
