Carlisle Buried Baby Trial and an "Angry Mob" mentality

*UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT*

What is the root of the issue here? It goes without saying that sheep with torches and pitchforks will say I am sympathizing with this girl after what I am about to say.

It is all too common if you follow tons of true crime pages like myself, that you will invariably and constantly read threads bursting with the hootin and hollerin of the common villagers: "Warm up Old Sparky!" "Bring back public hangings!" "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!", seem to be a few favorites of these innovative and rational thinkers.

While I DO NOT sympathize with killers of any sort, I think it is important to understand why these things happen so they can be PREVENTED IN THE FUTURE. One reason I majored in psychology is because this sort of thing fascinates me, but I also believe psychology and the area of mental health do not have nearly enough emphasis placed on them in regards to addressing the issues of today. It is pushed on us that it is imperative to address physical health issues, but there is not enough importance placed on the rest (ahem $$$$$$$$$$$$)....

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, what is the issue? Regarding the case of Brooke Skylar Robinson, we have yet another teenager who has secretly given birth and disposed of their unwanted baby in a horrific manner. Do we have a cold blooded killer who would have eventually succumb to her urges in some other shape or form if this would not have happened? Probably not. What we DO have is a scared - ass teenager. It's a tale as old as time. She accidentally got pregnant and was scared to figure out a healthy way of seeking help. Should she have been more careful? Yes. But all teenagers fuck up. Was what she did callous and cold blooded? Yes. But refer to the earlier "scared teenager" bit. She was desperate.

Now who else may have contributed to this case? Could it be a system where young women who find themselves in situations like this are too afraid to seek help, only to be called a slut or even the way things are looking, possibly forced into giving birth? I can promise you if this was a different society where abortion was not so taboo, and we didn't have a president attempting to roll back the rights of women 50 years, and religious zealots screaming about women who choose to exercise their human rights as being "MURDERS", this would happen less often.

And I can promise you if abortion is outlawed and women's rights ARE rolled back, it will happen MORE OFTEN.

So again, before anyone has the desire to call me a murderer sympathizer, understand that what I am saying comes from a place of rational thought and a desire to find more solutions. Please attempt to think about what is more beneficial to society. "Frying this evil bitch" or finding answers. Working on solutions so that this doesn't keep happening. Get out of your "angry mob" mentality, please. It's not a good look.
