The murder trial of Milly Dowler is ongoing at the moment and her mother collapsed in court yesterday after trudging up all this information about her daughter, that she was unhappy, potentially depressed , hated herself and her family , found her father's porn stash etc. Completely feckin irrelevant.
She was a 13 year old girl - all perfectly normal for a teenage girl. Fears that she was not pretty enough , had to fit in with her friends, sibling rivalryand the concept of her parents having sex ....all totally bloody normal.
But how traumatic for her family. To have to go through this experience and then to have their whole family cohesion questioned but for why???
This girl was abducted , walking home from school. She had not run away. She had not started talking to this evil bastard on the internet because she was lonely or depressed or being abused. She was not doing anything out of character on that day. Went to school and hung out with her friends afterwards , got some chips and started to walk home . Except she never made it home.
I just fail to see how dragging up her normal teenage angst goes to prove anything except hurt this family all over again.
