This also makes sense if,as Shaniya's sister said,there were cigarette burns,not burn on Shaniya.Shaniya told her it was her mother's friends that did it.Probably a bunch of people partying and careless with kids around,unless it was worse.I also can't believe she wanted to go visit her mother as was told in the Oprah show,because of the filth of that home,partying,drugs,cigarette burns.When Ophrah asked if Shaniya talked to her about the burns,she said she didn't have that kind of relationship,she had a bond of just having fun with her. She first said she dropped her off on a Sunday,but then on Oct 9th,which would be a Friday.No calls for four weeks,she said,I think Shaniya was at her mother's more than we've heard and when she wasn't,she was with BL's gfs.
(bbm) Exactly. A child is accepting of w/e parent/s they're stuck w (what choice do they have) and Shaniya might have felt sadness and a whole range of emotions re being separated from her mother--but that doesn't mean you just throw her to the wolves omg she would never have chosen to LIVE in such squalor, neglect, and non-supervision--and those are just the sins of Ommission!!
As for CLD and her "special bond" of "only joy and laughter" I'll say only that it sounds like it was more about meeting some need of her's, because she preferred to be in denial or oblivious re the chaos, confusion, and suffering that became the staple of this baby's existence, Shaniya's lot, and what was really happening in her life.
