I personally considerer the garrot to be mutilation.

Whatever your personal viewpoint, the fact remains that garroting is not mutilation, which is defined as "to cut up or alter radically; to cut off or permanently destroy an essential part."

I understand that - but there has to be proof to back this accusation - yes? Did the doctors find evidence that Jon Benet had been abused?

Which "accusation?" Mutilation or abuse? You've said you don't believe parents would mutilate their child. That's what I've rebutted. Everything else you've thrown in is not something I've even discussed.

The BTK killer resorted to the garrot beccause he simply enjoyed it.

The BTK killer did not murder very young children. How else can garroting a child Jon Benet's age be described except as a sign of massive overkill? Or as a sign that the murderer didn't think he or she had the hand strength to strangle the child without a tool? In fact, it's massive overkill no matter what else can be said of this murder.

Given the facts of the case it can also be reasonable to be skeptical that the murder was committed by the Ramsey’s or with cooperation from the Ramseys.

If the Ramseys are, indeed, innocent of this crime, the murder could have been (and likely was) committed by someone who knew them. A little reading comprehension goes a long way. I said, "Given the facts of the case, it is entirely reasonable to be skeptical that the murder was a totally random act committed by a complete stranger to the Ramseys." Nothing in that statement accuses the Ramseys in any way.

“The BTK killer did not murder very young children”

Wrong. One of his first victims was the eight-year-old daughter of the Oteros, young Josie. He took her down to the basement, sexually assaulted her, then strung her up on a basement pipe to strangle to death.

OK - I stand corrected.
Let me be more specific.
I find it difficult to believe that parens who have seemingly had no prior history of abuse -whose other child has shown no signs of abuse - would resort to garroting to coverup an accident instead of calling 911.

“The BTK killer did not murder very young children”

The 2 Otero children along with their parents.
And as we can see from the BTK - garroting can be a sick pleasure for some weirdos.
It also requires skill - which I have difficulty believing Patsy even understood how to garrot anyone.
