I believe some parents object to injecting their vulnerable newborns and children with the vast quantities of mercury that are used in the preservatives in vaccinations.
I've heard in the US, vaccinating for chicken pox is compulsory. Chicken pox isn't fatal. It's just an illness.
What your suggesting by asking whether non-compliant parents should be jailed, is that children are emotionally traumatised and possible scarred, by having their parents taken away from them.
I strongly suspect governments and pharmaceutical companies of being a little more interested in profit than children's welfare. If it were otherwise, then they'd go to the trouble and expense of making the vaccinations less toxic.
Jailing non-compliant parents would extend the less than scrupulous powers of big business over the welfare of our children and grandchildren.
Let's just assume for a minute that Danley is innocent until proven guilty with regards to some link with this mass murder.
Let's assume that reports that she was in love with Paddock are accurate, as are reports that the relationship was abusive which she perhaps didn't question.
Let's assume that Danley's world has just been turned upside down with the suicide of her lover, his committing mass murder and reports of his abusive behaviour towards her.
She voluntarily goes back to the US, not knowing what is going to happen, or how she is going to be received under the circumstances.
Maybe, that takes a little courage.
Maybe, she had a wobbly moment getting off the plane. Maybe anxiety, exhaustion, got the better of her.
Maybe a wheelchair was provided to avoid any complications, y'know, like when you're in hospital and perfectly capable of walking to get an x-ray, but staff insist you be transported in a wheelchair.
Just looking from a less suspicious, or already convicting angle.
Danley's partner has died by suicide. She has been described as being madly in love with him. She was scared that he meant to break up with her. She has been effectively widowed.
That is a complex grief in itself, without having to deal with the fact that before his death, he was responsible for mass murder.
Most people experience a period of shock, disbelief, unreality and numbness after a bereavement, even if it was expected and a natural passing.
It would be more strange if Danley was crying at this stage, than the lack of emotional reaction you describe.
I was determined that my daughter would not be afraid of the dark.
One day she came into my room at dawn and asked me why my curtains were open.
Half asleep, I mumbled the explanation that my alarm clock had broken and that I was worried I wouldn't wake up without the light in the morning.
We'd recently had a spate of bereavements. I had tried to explain death in three year old terms by saying our friends had gone to sleep, but they wouldn't wake up again.
My daughter put two and two together and made five. It took a year for her to develop the language skills to explain why she had become afraid of the dark.
She thought that without the dawn light to wake you up, you would die.
We have no control over how someone else attends to, or interprets our words. We may think carefully about how we explain things, thinking we are clear, providing reassurance even, but we cannot control what happens in another person's mind.
Can you post to Jac's thread...?
Bedlam was restored along with the functioning server, Riz.I'm feeling much more at home again, thankyou.
