[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it was Burke for the simple reason that he's never done anything like that since. Kids who do terrible things like that (and who are too young for the official psychopath/sociopath diagnosis), are not people who are one-and-done. They have repeating patterns. They escalate. They start with animals and move on to humans. They start with a weaker child and then work their way up to adults.

Even if it was some kind of accident, he'd have to have sociopathic traits to not have something like that affect his entire life. From what I've heard, he's a well-adjusted adult. [/quote]

If it was Burke (and I do think it was Burke) it seems likely that he was not being adequately treated for his psychological issues prior to jonbenets death. However, he did receive treatment for at least a year and a half after jonbenets death. John Ramsey told Lou Smit in a 1998 interview that he (John) was taking medication prescribed to him by burkes psychiatrist - not unusual given the circumstances for a grieving parent, but interesting for John to offer that Burke was still being treated by a psychiatrist (not a psychologist) 18 months after the fact when his parents insisted he’d slept through the whole ordeal. It is entirely possible that Burkes parents got him adequate treatment for his psychological issues after jonbenets death and once medicated his behavioral issues were controlled.

Let’s not forget that Burke hit jonbenet in the head with a golf club two years prior, two days after her birthday. And somebody was defecating in her bedroom on Christmas, as evidenced by the spoiled pants thought by CSIs to belong to Burke and the feces smeared on her box of chocolates. The housekeeper had also reported finding fecal matter recently in jonbenets bed, and a previous housekeeper reported Burke smearing feces when he was six years old and his mother was undergoing treatment for cancer. He did have a history of maladjusted behavior.

This was also the 90s and patsy was image obsessed. I can very much imagine that burkes issues were brushed off and the parents buried their head in the sand. Perhaps they knew he was sexually abusing jonbenet. Or perhaps they only saw the other violent and maladjusted behavior and couldn’t bring themselves to medicate him for the stigma of it.[/quote]
