If JBR was mudered because of her being made to look like a beauty queen in pageants and we know that for sure is the cause I'm sure her father will regret ever allowing JBR being in the pageants. But we don't know if this was the cause and just because the Ramsey's put their daughter in pageants does not mean they were bad parents. Heck, my sister takes her daughter to a very well know little girl even once a year where she lives and all the little girls get to be dressed up all pretty. My sister and her daughter love to go. So lets say a pedophile gets a glimpse at my niece looking all pretty and decides he has to have her and kills her. Is this my sister's fault? No it is the sick freak who did it. Same senario applies with the Ramsey's. They did nothing wrong here, the murderer did.
WHO has said they were bad parents?
WHO has said that?
Nate said that's not the John I know. It looks like he's drugged. Did they drug him? (Something like that).
At one point, he put his arm around his father (like a buddy) but it really looked like he grabbed him away from what he was babbling about.
IMHO Nate and the father only had very loose ties with John, and as far as Christmas, Nate is guessing. I have a feeling that Christmas wasn't a family "big deal", if John was away for a few days, it was not unusual.
Nate is using the "as long as he had kids" as a crutch. If John wasn't in the pictures, why hasn't someone in the family said: "John never liked his picture taken".
The picture of John and his 3 sons in California. It does appear that he didn't want to be in that picture. Look at other years at Christmas. 1995-2001.
I didn't say I know that for sure to be the cause. I said, in this particular murder case, it's an important consideration.
A 6-yo child sleeping in her home is "low-risk" as a kidnapping victim, the lowest risk there is. With each layer of public exposure, her risk increases.
She had somewhat more than the usual 6-yo child, with being in the Christmas parade because of her pageant title, and with her father being head of one of Boulder's largest employers.
