The photos posted of adults wearing neck gear was horrendous-very rough stuff. I understand children having favorite necklaces, toys, clothes, etc-all normal. So is the apparently favorite necklace of Danielle's, as long as it is not her daddy or someone else's encouragement that caused her to wear this piece of jewelry. Her diary indicates she was afraid of her own father's withdrawal of love-which breaks the heart.

I believe the little boys should be removed from the home. I believe they should be tenderly placed with the grandparents and gently spoken to by grief counselors-and encouraged to speak of what they have observed or maybe even experienced in the supposed sanctity of their own home, so that if things were as rotten there as reports indicate, these little boys have the opportunity to understand that life can be different, can be safe, can be free of strangers being intimate with parents, etc.

I agree with Pierce. All things considered, until the lifestyle of the Von Dam's can be demonstrated as NOT responsible for the apparent lack of safety that caused a little one's ultimate death, it is the responsibility of EVERYONE who suspects or has concrete knowledge of the activities in that so called home to come forward and protect those left to suffer in the abyss.

I know it will hurt the Von Dam's greatly to lose their sons temporarily. But it would certainly be more important to ensure the safety and grief support for the little boys. These two KNOW what went on in their home. Now they need to know that people love them.

I wonder how many of the girls in Danielle's school wore the same kind of choker she wore. Girls usually wear what other girls wear. If no one else wore that kind of necklace...
