OK, i just spent a few hours getting caught up. LOL. whew! see what happens when i have to work?!
anyway... can someone fill in a few blanks for me just so i can stop thinking about it (and not have to go through pages and pages and posts and posts)...
do we know what these dates were?:
date LL entered jail:
date LL released from jail:
date(s) of said abuse from the guard:
date the claim was filed against guard:
just trying to put two and two together.
personally, i don't think he (guard) has anything to do with Aliayah's disappearance. IMHO, i think she's been gone much longer than we'd like to believe (but i would think the older children would be the ones to ask about this). i think LL's poor choice in men has brought her to her current situation. but i try not to judge others, in that i understand the cycles of abuse and how hard it is to break it (i'm a psychology major). the human mind is so incredibly capable of so many things. i think that as a mother, she has the motherly instincts and would want no harm done to her children. but our environment and the influence that loved ones have on our psyche can definitely overpower everything (think of a woman who has said their whole life that they would never allow a man to abuse her. once in a situation where this happens, she may feel pity for her abuser after he cries and apologizes and says it will never happen again. she may have been broken down over and over again and is no longer the strong-minded person that she once was). just as people can be addicted to drugs, they can be addicted to love. i see that as a possibility here because of the # of children and # of (apparent) fathers. to me, it looks like she had a need for attention and love & would be easily broken down. i personally think she is a victim here too (in addition to baby A). i think she really does want the best for her kids, as most mothers would, but i sense a lot of precaution and worry coming from her. like she's scared to reveal what she really knows. i think the 2 hour drive was just a breather to get her thoughts together & prepare for what was to come. to me, the end of the 2nd 911 call make me wonder. she seemed a little freaked out that it was actually happening/starting.
the short of it all: i think she was possibly abused (at least mentally), intimidated, frightened, threatened, etc. i hope that if this is the case, and SD was the one who did something to the baby, that she will learn from this huge mistake and make some life changes from here on out.
those kids need a stable life and if nothing else, a dependable mother. i hope that she can do that for them, even if it requires her to stop dating such questionable men. i know too many women that don't put their children as priority #1 and i have seen how the children are affected way too many times. it's a sad sad situation.
just my 2cents.
