[quote=Anonymous]First of all, the image people display to the outside world is not always what is going on at home. I respect that there are people who had positive interactions and relationships with the Harts and thought all was well because it is likely that they did put on a positive front regardless of how good or bad the home life was.

It's totally possible to me that this family was doing well, but over time, things could have changed and the parent(s) coping skills, parenting, and disciplinary habits changed in response. It may be that totally "normal" stressors like financial troubles had an role. It could be that as the children aged, the couple wanted more control and there was a battle for independence (this seems fairly common in abusive situations - as a child begins to want to leave home or grow up, a parent who doesn't want to lose control becomes more restrictive and controlling). It could be that the kids had totally normal and understandable behavioral issues from being adopted out of abusive situations that flared up in adolescence and the parents became abusive (the assault charge involved one of the parents spanking a child far too aggressively) in response. It's also possible they've always been asshole abusers in some capacity and hid it well over time and then stopped hiding it so well.

It's absolutely tragic to me for the neighbor who called CPS to get help for the kids. That couple saw something, reported it as you're supposed to do, and now feel responsible for the parents murdering their children in what I imagine was a panicked response to their veil of normalcy being removed. I hope the woman who called CPS and reported the situation can get some sort of therapy because in some articles, it seems as though she feels extremely guilty and she shouldn't.

It's possible to me that the other three children's bodies were somehow lost in the water, or maybe they were killed and left elsewhere. If they were alive and with friends or something, they'd know where they are by now.

Absolutely tragic overall.[/quote]
