Bill Cosby Guilty!

[Amarok]

To play devil's advocate (though i think she is guilty )

 The level of sadness expressed does not show innocence or guilt . Some legitimately innocent parents can take decades to fully mourn. And some people turn to socialization as a grieving mechanism.

It's one thing to turn to friends for some sort of comfort. It's quite another to act as if your two year old child never existed. When one plasters pictures all over social media depicting a fun and out going "party girl", riddled with several posts of her drinking and smoking and carrying on as if she never had a child, I think people have a right to question that behavior and regard it as not normal. She literally showed ZERO sadness over the loss of her daughter. It was like she was emotionally detached from her kid. 

I have seen firsthand, children who's own mother has displayed that sort of emotional detachment from them. It is very easy to see how her attitude, towards two kids who didn't ask to be born, has affected them and it's really heartbreaking. All children ever ask for is to be loved by the people that bring them into the world (or raise them, if adopted). For a mother to simply discard her two year old, like she was trash and not say anything for over a month and then blame it on a "babysitter", speaks mounds about that mother's lack of empathy towards her own baby.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying if she were innocent and  turned to partying as a means of denial. Because accepting the loss is to painful so better to pretend it never happened and act as such .I have dealt with cases like that were the mother is so traumatized they pretend they had no child or try and utterly detach themselves for the event like it was something you heard happen to someone else . This of course does not last. But it can take years and usually it's not pleasant ride when reality comes rushing back. Of course that's just one explanation .

As for parental detachment i deal with it more often professionally then i would like to admit . But i will say this as bad a person as she is and a bad a parent as she is . That does not make her a murderer. 

I will point out again i think she's guilty. But her lack of open grieving is not what dooms her .
