Something that no one has mentioned ( at least I don't think they have ) is that Diary of the little girls that Mrs. VD brought out on one of the early network news shows.

She held it up and talked about an entry in it. I can be wrong, but I THINK it was one of the last entries. It said (paraphrased) "Please love me, Daddy" and " I am sorry, Daddy". That clicked on the red light for me. Why would a little girl, age SEVEN say a thing like that? I think this was a first interview, and at the time, I was first hearing the story, but I sure remember thinking how ODD that was. This was before I learned of their lifestyle. Does anyone remember that?

Does anyone remember that?

Yes, in fact, I can't forget that. Whether related to this sad case or not, it seems to me to indicate emotional abuse of this child.

You're right, her diary entries haven't been mentioned on this thread, but they've been mentioned a number of times on the other threads. And a number of people, including me, agree with you that the wording is scary, creepy, whatever you want to call it.

...is that Diary of the little girl...

How many 7 year old girls do you know who have a diary? They can barely write at that age. This just seems strange to me.
