. The family doesn't ask her questions. They don't want others to ask questions, either.

Not having a transcript here, I presume Klaas is speaking this? How does he know??

Now...let's just get down to "common common sense "....If any of you are parents...ask yourself this...

Your 14 yr. old daughter has been kidnapped at gun point (ahem), the abductor, was seen by your 9 year old daughter who was IN THE BED with your 14 yr. old.

I am NOT speaking of WHAT THE SMARTS did...I am asking YOU...to picture this as YOUR family. YOUR daughter is kidnapped at gun point, your other daughter is with her when it happens...ok ?

You mean to tell me it would be NORMAL for you to NOT ask your 9 yr old ANY questions? And NOT WANT ANYONE (including police????)to ask her questions either?????

That would be one of the first things my husband and I would do. We can lovingly and gently hold our 9 yr. old and talk with her.

I get so mad at these crappy (sorry) stories about this family. It is just wierd, I tell you.

I would turn her inside out to wring every single snippet of information that she had. The shephard focuses on the one lamb that is lost to the exclusion of the rest. The "trauma" that MK might experience in being the subject of a vigorous examination is nothing compared to a lifetime of trauma which comes from knowing that you had the ability to help the police find your missing sister but it just didn't happen because you were thought to be too fragile.

That would be one of the first things my husband and I would do. We can lovingly and gently hold our 9 yr. old and talk with her.

For sure!

Yes indeed, certainly odd!
