Not sure if this is an acceptable thing to write, but I am just totally shocked by all the people who are absolutely convinced that the parents were involved in the brutal death of their child, and got away with it. I wonder if any or many of those who absolutely believe the parents attacked their child had problems with their own parents or family members, and therefore assume a parent would be capable of doing all the things they've laid on the Ramseys. They didn't just kill the child, they fractured her skull, they choked her with a garrott, they sexually abused her, and so on and on and on.
I for one, was never even struck by either of my parents, though my mom and I had plenty of verbal arguments! Nor, were any of my friends abused by their parents. Come to think of it, my mom did slap me with a dish towel a few times, but I always got away. She would chase me around the dining room table. Too funny.
But, anyway, it would take complete and absolute proof for me to believe a parent, especially a mother who seemed to be very devoted to her daughter could murder her own child in the ways that I have read that have been described here. I don't see a shred of proof for any of these theories, but a lot of wild imaginations! It's as though they want the parents to be guilty, and refuse to look at it in any other way. I am so shocked by what I've read, that I'm beginning to believe even if they do find a killer and he's proven to be guilty, they'll never believe it. They'll still believe the parents did it.
Btw, I mean no disrespect. We all have our own feelings, and are entitled to them, it's just my own interpretation of some of the stuff I've been reading here. I know not everybody feels that way.
No my parents never abused me.
Statistics are very clear on who is the likely killer of a child, and it is not an intruder. Overwhelmingly, children are killed and yes, sexually abused by their own family members. While cases like that of Samantha Runnion, Carlia Brucia, etc. get wall to wall coverage, they are the except to the rule. In the same way, women who are killed are usually killed by someone they know, a husband or boyfriend, not a random criminal. The stats are very clear on this, the probabilities overwhelmingly lie with family members.
of course that doesn't mean the family/husband/wife is always guilty, but your post reads to me like the idea of a parent being able to abuse their child is something that would 'only' be contemplated by someone who came from an abusive background and that just isn't true. There are hundreds, probably thousands of cases of parents doing unthinkable things to their children....and a handful of intruder murders.
Again, its possible the Ramsey's are unlucky...Patsy Ramsey in my opinion was mentally unstable whether she killed her daughter or not. But, usually I find when any theory depends on everythinb being the exception to the rule...cops wrong, crime scene ruined, witch hunt and so on, what I am listening to is a defense of a guilty person.
