female respones to mother's of abused children

it seems to me, that in a lot of responses of women to Rosemarie Fritzl, who don't seem to have gone through abusive relationships, or had children who were abused, that it is a visceral reaction, based on disbelief...

HOW COULD SHE NOT HAVE KNOWN...
SHE KEPT QUIET TO PRESERVE HER LIFE STYLE...
SHE DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED AS MUCH AS HIM...
SHE IS JUST AS GUILTY....
SHE IGNORED THE SIGNS OUT OF SELFISHNESS...


There is a searching for 'evidence' to pillory the mother, most hearsay, and of really doubtful validity... taken either out of context, from unreliable sources, or sources that have no experience in dealing with long term incarceration, or with the culture that the abuses happen in...

I don't believe that these women are thinking, so much as reacting to a situation that they have no way of comprehending, and any attempt at bringing understanding has fallen on deaf ears... they don't seem to want to know.... it is the emotional turmoil inside, that says,

HOW CAN A MOTHER NOT KNOW,
HOW CAN SHE NOT PROTECT HER CHILD...
A MOTHER WOULD INSTINCTIVELY KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON...

instead of dealing with the reality of Rosemarie's situation, or that of any other woman who allows such atrocities, and ignoring them, to justify their own righteous anger and coming to the conclusion in their minds...

THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE NOT SEEN...
THEY WOULD HAVE REACTED...
THEY WOULD HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO SAVE THEIR CHILD...

and in so doing, perpetuate their own myths that they would be perfect mothers... looking at the situation from their safe homes, in western society, where women are queens, and not second class citizens... one only has to look at where most of these cases happen to realize that it is the society that is at fault... whether it be rural France, or Austria, Argentina or Italy... Hungary and Belgian... in many cases never coming to the rescue until it is too late... in many cases the woman imprisoned is so mentally and emotionally damaged as to be only a shell of her potential... never truly able to have a chance at anything like what we would term a normal life or relationships... which re-enforces the guilt that these commenter's have placed on the likes of Rosemarie, and their own righteous indignation...
