I did some searching last night and found something that could explain the vaginal trauma on JB.
Vaginal abrasions may also occur in young girls, particularly if children have developed a yeast infection or have suffered a recent injury to the sensitive vaginal lining. Fissures may be more difficult to diagnose on a child depending upon location and size of the tear, as well as the childs communication abilities. Women with vaginal fissures often described tears as feeling like a paper cut. In children, such a description may be felt, but not so easily seen by a caretaker or communicated by the child. It is not uncommon for a young girl who complains of stinging or burning, especially during bath time or bathroom activities, to be, in fact, suffering from vaginal fissures.

Chronic Yeast infections..
Why do Young Children get Yeast Infections?
The cause of yeast infections in everyone is too much or too little moisture in the genitalia. In the case of women, wearing or using certain products can be the cause. Many young children love taking long, bubble baths with all the bath toys and fun. Bubble baths can actually heighten the moisture in the genitals and cause the yeast to grow to the point where a yeast infection appears. This will not happen in most children but as different bodies react to different things, it can occur.
Another cause of yeast infections in children can be when they are allowed to wear their wet bathing suits for a long time after they are no longer playing in the water. Bathing suits, like towels, sustain water and are close to the genitals. Try to ensure that children are put into dry clothes when they have finished playing in the water. Another aid to prevention is to use unscented and uncolored toilet paper. This is a known cause of yeast infections in females and could most likely have the same effect on a young girl.

I am not posting this to argue points, Just to see the other side. As long as there is a possible real explanation for the irritation or tears in Jon Benet, I have to err on that side. To me Patsy's explanation completely fits with the injuries, As far as the hymen is concerned do we even know what kind she was born with? Could it have been the result of creams being applied, or could she have been born with less of one or none?
I am willing to go with you and listen but I need to show you where I am coming from too.
Why is abuse not a "real" explanation? Why not err on the side of medical experts who read and interpeted the autoposy results, rather than a web search?
