Bob - I'm not sure where you are coming up with comments concerning the
color of the mother's skin... but really now. It doesn't matter what
color
her skin is. What happen is wrong, and it should raise concerns.
"Naomi"
could be a female from any race. As far as the names of the children -
yes,
they are very uncommon and should have raised questions with someone...
but
who knows the full story.
Here's a detailed story from the local press.
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3975020.html
The picture accompanying the article clearly shows Naomi/Pleasant is a
black
woman. Also from the story:
Did the picture tell you she was on welfare, or did you read the story? I
believe it stated she was working as an artist.
And finally to counter the erroneous assumption no fathers or father
figures
were involved:
What erroneous assumption? Who said the father wasn't around? If you are
referring to *me* step back and read what I typed again. I never made such
a claim. I said to give the father the benefit of the doubt.
I was just curious as to where you come up with your information on people.
I really would hate to think you were basing your assumptions about this
mother based on the color of her skin. I know some mixed raced individuals
which are lighter than I am right now. I was called some really ugly racist
names while growing up due to the color of my skin (when tanned) and my
tight natural curly dark brown hair. Let's not judge someone based on the
color of their skin... oh, and if it wasn't such an issue with you - then
why even mention the color of her skin?
As far as my opinion - the woman had major issues. What she did was just
sick. How well she hid her mental problems could be debated... but she was
probably in better mental shape than Mrs. Yates, and I remember how many men
in this group defended Mr Yates. So I'm surprised to see some *not* defend
this father, but defend Mr Yates. Interesting...
