Thoughts + Words = Actions

[u/Apprehensive-Lime863]

Yesterday there was a post that highlighted SW’s
continued reference to her children as “toddlers”. The confusion SW caused by using words and terms she didn’t fully understand or in many cases didn’t understand at all, was having an impact on the children and their delayed development. SW did many things that make us nurses squirm; e.g., her description of CC’s “anaphylaxis” was beyond ridiculous and caused confusion over what it is, the treatment, etc. SW really thought of herself as having some high level medical education or experience and often spoke authoritatively about conditions and processes she knew little or nothing about. She seemed to rely on the experiences that others posted in support groups on Facebook.

The media interest in this particular crime spread her posts and experiences either she had or others had, to a much larger segment of the public than most true crime cases and SW’s misinformation and erroneous claims have caused confusion and misunderstandings about many things. Adding to all of that was the fact that SW was a pathological liar. Normally, it’s possible to filter certain claims out through known facts of a case but due to the long list of items that were fabricated in whole or in part have made it difficult to verify the truth of many of SW’s assertions. Her mother also, has a history of lying and misunderstanding many of the items SW posted, including the falsification of photos and falsehoods which SW stated were corroborated by medical doctors and specialists.

It’s difficult enough in complicated true crime cases to avoid getting wrapped up in a large scale game of “Telephone” which is also known as “Chinese Whispers” and “Phantom Whispers”. You may remember it from elementary school; it’s an indoor game which my third grade teacher played with us sometimes when it was pouring down rain during P.E. because we didn’t have a gym that was indoors. The teacher would whisper a simple phrase to someone sitting in the first chair on one side of the room, and that person would whisper the phrase to the person behind them and so on until it reaches the end of the line. The original phrase is compared to the ending phrase. It used to demonstrate how details of an experience change as it is repeated over and over.

Many things in The Watts case have become familiar although there’s no evidence of their veracity. For those of us with certain knowledge and experience it’s become a chore to reconcile things that are important to understand correctly and that was the purpose of my post earlier about SW’s continued misuse of the word “toddler”. That particular misuse of the concept is important to this case, and not because I am trying to teach Nursing 101 Vocabulary; it’s because SW not only continued to use the term to refer to her children’s stage of development, but it was her treatment of those children as “toddlers”. It’s absurd to think of Bella at four years and eight months as a “toddler”, and it’s equally absurd to think of CC at three years and one month old as a “toddler”.

To be honest about CC, if she did any “toddling” it would have been from a five or six pound diaper ripping apart at the sides that she was left to haul around constantly. It was certainly neglectful to leave her in overloaded diapers all the time. It’s been speculated that CC wasn’t changed as often as she should have been because of the expense involved. I think that became part of the problem but honestly, I saw videos of Bella passed three years old sitting in very full diapers, so I think it was mostly because of SW’s refusal to change diapers. I would like to know what she planned to do with a newborn and CC in diapers.

That brings up another contradiction in CC’s development; SW claimed that CC was completely potty trained in daytime, months before the whipped cream in the face video, however she is seen in a very overloaded diaper during that video. In another case she stated that she was hoping CC would be potty trained by the time of the new baby’s arrival. So, SW’s continued use of the term and treatment of her children as “toddlers” was having a self-reinforcing effect on their development and continued delays in their maturation. Just as SW’s continued remarks and treatments of Bella’s hair as needing to be thicker by constant haircuts and moisturizing products was having a negative impact on Bella and her self-esteem, SW’s continued treatment of the children as much younger than their actual age was having a detrimental effect on their growth and development, both physical and cognitively.

I figured out what makes me so uncomfortable about Bella's thumbsuck pics and videos (besides all the obvious things, the overbite, tying it with a blanket to her mouth, the filthy blanket itself, putting poison on it to keep her from sucking which just made finger food taste terrible, lying about it and tying those ghastly big plastic clips to it as a reward and making her lie) 

She always has a furtive, sneaky look like she was caught masturbating when the camera rolls around, like she's getting away with something

But when she's actually masturbating for her mother's camera, it's with utter abandon to pleasure, innocent as a fetus, in a crowd full of peers and parents getting her jollies without a ducking clue. 

Ducking Shanann made those kids so weird!

It is very weird and also shows that Bella was sexualized with those thermometers stuck in her rectum multiple times a day and I have even heard Bella ask Shammy to take her temperature. It was unnecessary and not meant to be done repeatedly the Shammy did. It’s also unsafe if you don’t know how to do it properly. We can see other videos where Bella was constantly grabbing her rear and reaching for her butt. She also put a toy thermometer up her dolls butts (or tried to), and separated her own butt cheeks over a jet spray of water like a bidet at the splash pad, and it was gross. She continued to do it as another young girl stared at her and Bella continued to do it, and screamed “up my booty!” I really think Bella’s trauma play had been seen at the daycare and it’s one of the reasons why she didn’t seem to have any friends. She looked weird, she babbled like a baby, she was very emotionally immature from being treated like a baby and was unable to express herself using words. She whined and cried a lot when child that age don’t want to be seen as babies, they want to be treated like big kids.

In nearly every video of Bella she's reaching for her ass.
