And how many, of those two, were kidnapped from their home while their parents were doping it up and scrogging in the garage, or too tired from a night of partying to hear anything or check on alarm lights and open doors.
When we lived in New Orleans, we once had a sort of crime wave in our neighborhood--cars and houses burgled while the residents were at work. The NOPD sent a rep to talk to the neighborhood association, and he had some interesting things to say about unlocked doors. He said that most house and car entries were crimes of convenience. Something as simple as a locked door (and remember, one of the VD's doors was not only unlocked, but open) would deter those looking for a quick and easy take. He said a simple, locked door (car or house) would deter most burglars. He also said that a determined burglar could get past anything you put in his way--but that this brand of burglar was pretty rare.
I know Danielle is not a thing. In fact, a little child is more precious than a television or a home theatre, and should be guarded much more carefully. Nevertheless, if what had been stolen at the VDs had been a television or home theatre setup, the insurance company might have refused to pay their claim because of their negligence.
"...The murder of a 12-year-old boy at the hands of an occult fanatic could not easily have been prevented, according to an inquiry into child protection measures. The year-long investigation concluded that no-one else was to blame for the death of Diego Pineiro.

The court hearing in to the murder heard Crowley, who had gone swimming with the youngster, had also bought the boy presents.
No sexual abuse had taken place during their friendship..."
From Damon's testimony at the PH ref letting dog out to use the bathroom at 1:45:
Q: Do you know what time that was?
A: Around 1:45 I think.
Q: Did you check the clock at that time?
A: No.
Q: So this again is an estimate?
A: This is an estimate.
Q: Was Brenda home by then?
A: No.
Q: Where did you take the dog?
A: I let her out back. And then let her back in. Again watched her while she went out.
Q: What door?
A: Through the sliding glass door. Let her back in. Went back upstairs to the bedroom. Left the bedroom door open.
Q: Why?
A: Because I knew Brenda would be home soon because I knew Dads closed at 2AM. So with the bedroom door open the dog was wherever the dog was I don't know. I jumped in bed and I watched TV for a little while
That's what stumps me. The whole thing would be more credible if there was a "garage party." According to sworn testimony of Damon and Brenda, there was no "garage party" that night, and no stipulation made (whereas there were stipulations as to Brenda lying dancing with DW and about Danielle getting over/through the gate). If there really was a garage party, why no stipulation to that?
Someone mentioned ted bundy...he could be like him.
Well, if DW is like Ted Bundy, he'd be a serial killer, but with only one known victim (?). He would also be a psychopath. But DW cant be a psychopath because he flunked the polygraph, he sweats profusely when nervous, and he shakes when scared/nervous. I just don't know how DW would be categorized if he is guilty. I give up. But if he is guilty, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts this case will be studied by criminologists and forensic psychologists for decades to come.
They are rare, statistically speaking. And out of those two, how many were abducted from their homes (as in, the perp went inside the home to snatch them)? And how many cases where there was an adult male present in the home when child was snatched? And a big dog to boot? I would imagine that, statistically, this is very, very rare indeed.
The problem with their "sworn testimony" is that swearing on a Bible apparently is meaningless to them. Brenda also said in "sworn testimony" that she didn't dance with Westerfield; then later amended her "sworn testimony" to "didn't recall" (how Clintonesque) dancing with him. Her word isn't worth much, and given the number of story changes, neither is Damon's.
My bet is that other members of the "pizza party" told police otherwise. (What kind of deal did they make with drug-dealer Keith to make him spill the beans about that night?) Also, police would have had fibre evidence that Barbara had been upstairs.
And police would have found fibre (and other!) evidence in the garage of such a party, had it actually occurred.
Bonds grow tighter in Danielle's community

Yesterday afternoon, Taylor sat impatiently while her mother curled her long black hair, applied mascara and lip gloss, and brushed her face and arms with glitter.
Wonder what they have left to look forward to in junior high and high school, limo rides and implants? Sorry, this kid is 7 let her be 7.
Let's look at it from a different angle

"When juvenile victims experienced multiple offenses, the most serious other charge in 47% of the incidents was another sex offense, 21% involved a non-sexual assault, 17% a kidnaping, and in 8% a burglary. "
"Younger juvenile victims were more likely than older juvenile victims to be sexually assaulted with other victims. The proportion of youth victimized with others was greater for juvenile victims under age 12 (25%) than for older juveniles (13%). However, within the younger juvenile group, this age-related pattern was reversed; that is, youth ages 6 through 11 were more likely to be victimized with others than were youth under age 6. Twenty-one percent of victims under age 6 were victimized with others compared to 28% of victims ages 6 through 11."
Location of sexual assault
" The most common non-resident locations for sexual assaults of juveniles were roadways, fields/woods, schools, and hotels/motels. For adults the most likely locations after a residence included roadways, fields/woods, hotels/motels, parking lots, and commercial/office buildings."
Time of day of sexual assault
The neighbor who invited Megan Kanka to see his puppy was a twice-convicted pedophile who raped and murdered her, then dumped her body in a nearby park. Megan's grieving parents said they never would have let their daughter travel their neighborhood freely if they had been alerted to the presence of a convicted sex offender living across the street from their residence. Congress passed the Federal version of "Megan's Law," another amendment to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, in 1996. -3[104 P.L. 145, 100 Stat. 1345.] It required States to establish some form of community notification by September 1997.
