Thanks for taking me seriously Nuisanceposter,
I would not be saying that Patsy would cover for murder by an intruder if I thought this was just a straight out murder. But I think the murder occurred when some pedophiles who had been regularly abusing JonBenet were having what they thought would be just another routine session with her. I think that Patsy knew who at least some of these abusers were and I think she knew the abuse had been going on for a long time. The killing that night was not part of the regular abusers plan. They just happened to have allowed an 'outsider' pedophile to join their group that night and he was the one who killed JonBenet. Patsy was involved in the cover up because she knew her daughter was dead anyway and she would rather her death be thought of as being the result of a kidnapping than the result of ongoing sexual abuse with which she was complicit.
I'm sorry but I think Patsy WAS capable of allowing this to happen to her daughter and she is not the first mother in history to have done this. There are a multitude of complex reasons for this phenomenon. Two for examples in this case are IMO - I think that Patsy was totally focussed on her own needs rather than JonBenet's. Some parents adore a child for what the child can do for them rather that for what the child is, which is the way I think Patsy viewed JonBenet. Since several of the pedophiles were very close to Patsy she turned a blind eye to the abuse in order to maintain her relationships with these people. I also think that Patsy was sexually abused herself as a child so saw it as 'normal' when it happened to her own daughter.[/QUOTE]
I've highlighted the parts in red that I agree with Aussie, but I don't believe it was a pedophile ring, I think it was John sexually abusing her and that's why Patsy was so willing to be a part of the coverup.
