Before I read the post - I knew nothing about the history of the Turpin family. Now I looked on the Internet, what Russian media write about it. Almost all of the articles blame the parents in the horrible treatment of children at the continued captivity. But in one report I found no evidence of guilt. I understand the parents while also pleaded not guilty. I am confused by the fact that none of the friends and relatives of this family did not notice anything suspicious, although they considered the family reclusive. In addition, there are a lot of photos, where all the family members look happy. I think that the media is now hounding parents Turpin, which pursues certain goals.
I agree with the idea of handling your child in public. I once was witness to a hysterical child in the store, when he lies on the floor, waving his hands and shouting. Often I came up with the idea - why go to the store with your child, if you know that a child can behave this way. And then I think that can happen to anyone. Once I and my daughter were walking in the Park. She was one year old and she was still not very confident. She really wanted to touch the trash, I did not give her to do so. She began to scream loudly, sat down on the asphalt. Naturally, I started to pick it up, but it got worse. She began to twitch and pull away. I decided to give her to calm down. It was warm outside, the daughter was dressed warmly. But for those two minutes while she was lying on the pavement, I caught myself so many negative and judgmental eyes.
