Your Thoughts on Jennifer Buchanan.....

[Booklover]

What is your opinion of Nevaeh's mom? :confused:

[NatalieB]

After having read CW's post, I have to say, I have no idea what she may have done in her past, nor do I really care. I am deeply troubled by the fact that she (by her own admission) allowed her child not only to be around a convicted sexual predator, but also claimed this particular one is like a father figure to the child. I don't care where you come from, the justice system is quite clear on this, thus the reason the man was arrested. For this reason alone, I hope she faces some charges of her own. Maybe it would wake some other mother up to the possibility of being charged if in a similar situation AND maybe, it might save another child down the road.

There is an old saying that one can be so open minded that all their brains fall out.

LOL! :biggrin:

i've refrained from posting on this thread but i'm going to now

from what i know of JB, i do not like her.

i do not like people like her (speaking of her criminal record and her lack of caring for her child--and i'm not just talking about letting her play outside by herself at 5 yrs old.) if she didn't want the responsibility then she should've taken precaution or put her up for adoption and let someone else love that baby girl.

i am not believing her stories either.

[iluvmua]

my opinion is : What in the World was Jennifer thinking?

I just don't get people with her mindset, thinking it's ok for a child to be around and interact with a known sexual predetor.

[gusisbetter]

I single handily raised 4 daughters and was living in Atlanta during the
child abduction cases....as bad as it was, it made me see the world differently. My children, all girls, all under 5 years old, were never out of my sight. It was difficult, some days I did not want the responsibility, but yet, their safety was always my major concern. I was broke, had left their abusive father, and yet, my first thought was noone would ever hurt them as long as I was alive. I dont understand her mind set. Why is it, you have to take tests for everything else in life, but noone makes sure you can handle being a parent? Now, I have grandchildren, and I am proud of the fact, my daughters put their children first....I don't see a solution, and that scares me. Nevaeh didn't deserve her mother, Calee didn't deserve Casey, and on and on.
My heart aches for these children.

What is your opinion of Nevaeh's mom? :confused:


I don't think this would get me banned but I would like to choke her. I am the mother of a boy 23 and a girl 21. I check our State Police website all the time for sex offenders in our area.

I cannot believe someone would knowingly let their child be around that kind of scum. :cursing:

[puleeze09]

What is your opinion of Nevaeh's mom? :confused:

I would get banned if i told you what i thought of jennifer. How could a mother expose a child to a sex predator? She is classless and uncouth as well. She is as guilty as the murderer is. I hope they throw the book at her. I also think she had something to do with the murder.

[donna]

Whether or nor Jennifer is guilty of anything other than neglect, she really needs professional help. She comes across as being cold and uncaring as if she never learned to honestly love.

[ksk1]

In my opinion, I do not understand her. I do not believe she should be responsible for any child. As a mother, my worst nightmare would be that my child could be molested or murdered. Why would I allow the molester in the door? It is hard enough to know if you can trust someone you dont know, if you have the information you need that this person cannot be trusted around children, why would you offer up your own child to possibly be hurt?

As far as judging her, if you are responsible for a minor child, you must conduct your life in accordance with protecting that child. The law will determine if you are capable to care for the child, or you will lose custody of that child.

Protecting your child from harm is the first instinct of a parent. What was she thinking? It boggles the mind...

[linnie]

I can't say what I'm really thinking of JB. I'm new here and I don't want to get banned. But.... she did say she didn't know George was a registered sex offender until after a few months of knowing him. If you could hear me saying this, my voice would be dripping with SARCASM from me right here. Even if you found that out, would you still let him around your child???? :cursing: Good grief.

And even though he was her father figure, now she's thinking he could've owed someone money and they could've killed Neveah in revenge. :confused: WTH?? What spews from her mouth, just doesn't add up. Why would you take that chance with your child?? I just don't get it.

My cousin had a child with a child molester and he isn't to be around kids so he can't come to our family functions and such. But it is odd how people think-some of my relatives feel that because he "took a class" while incarcerated that he is cured and won't re-offend. I tried to explain they're never cured, but it fell on deaf ears. :angry:

[baywench]

The more I see her the more I think she maybe a sociopath. Her emotions and way of speaking are just strange. The fact that she could even say on Nancy Grace that she thought the body was too decomposed to identify is just disgusting. This is her baby she is talking about. FGS the guy who found her is showing more emotion. I feel she is completely self-centered and am not sure if I can explain this but....feral, very feral.

[sunnydale]

I couldn't believe my ears when on Nancy Grace she said her daughter "lies". The way she said it was disgusting. Her daughter is dead and she says that. I'm now thinking she had something to do with this murder. She sure didn't seem to like her daughter. The way she says certain things. Maybe she was jealous of her. It seems like the only men Jennifer could get were sex offenders. I don't know and you asked for my thoughts and these are my thoughts and opinions. I hope they prosecute her for child endangerment.

Great post, NatalieB! :thumbsup: I think Jennifer Buchanan should be charged with child endangerment, & neglect. :angry:

[Booklover]

The fact that she defends the molester is very telling and may stem from something in her background. I won't say any more since I read CW's post.

Good post, forensicpsy~ :smile: A mother who knowingly exposes her child to danger has no business having children. IMO :angry:

I just don't get people with her mindset, thinking it's ok for a child to be around and interact with a known sexual predetor.

The answer to that question is, she wasn't thinking. I agree with you, iluvmua - It's very tragic. Unfortunately, children have to pay for the mistakes made by their parents. IMO :crying:

Excellent post, gusisbetter! :thumbsup: I completely agree with you. I can also see why you are so proud. You have certainly earned it, and you have every reason to feel a great deal of satisfaction. IMO :smile:

Excellent post, ksk1 - :thumbsup: It's amazing, and extremely sad when you think about the number of parents who put their own needs before those of their children. It's disgusting, and shameful. IMO :angry:

Excellent post, linnie! This case is further proof for me that some people just don't deserve to have children. I'm sorry about your cousin. I completely agree with you about child molesters. They are never cured, and they are very dangerous. A parent's first priority should be their children. If they can't handle that, they should not have children. Plain & simple. IMO

[Booklover]

Excellent post, baywench! :thumbsup: You've made a very good point too. She completely lacks emotion. When you have a missing child, you don't just "cry" in your home. You will cry anywhere, and everywhere until your child is found. Why does she want to see her daughter's remains? :ohmy: It's too little, too late. :rolleyes: She didn't protect her in life, so what's the point now? It's so very tragic. IMO

Great post, sunnydale! :thumbsup: I noticed that too! When she talked about her daughter lying! :ohmy: Her child is missing, and this is what she has to say about her? I think Nancy was disgusted too. I also think she should be charged with child endangerment, and neglect. It's quite possible she knows what happened to her daughter too. IMO :crying:

I have to absolutely agree with every word you stated, baywench. I have thought about this and thought about it and can make no sense of any of it.

IMO, she may be more than a sociopath.

Little Nevaeh's funeral was today, may she rest in peace and fly with the angels.

I think that Monday will carry a new reality for Jennifer, IMO. She may be hauled in for a stronger interview and harder hitting questions.

Now that the funeral is over, I think there will be movement in this case.

I hope you're right, donna! :smile: Jennifer Buchanan has a lot to answer for, in my opinion. I don't have any use for child abusers, child predators, or child killers. Children are gifts from God, and they should be treated as such. Little Nevaeh is now where she can never be harmed again. God Bless you, Nevaeh! R.I.P. :rose: :crying:

I hope there is more activity in the case, along with an arrest. I also believe that JB should be charged with child endangerment (at least, to start with) for exposing Nevaeh to the RSOs ~ and I still think there's a connection between the two RSOs she knows and whoever killed Nevaeh. MOO

[Leanne Weich]

I believe there should be a system whereby any unmarried mother (under the age of say 23) should be assessed whilst pregnant and, if deemed necessary, should be forced to take parenting classes. I know that would not stop all the bad parenting we see but it would, at least, offer uneducated people some hope of not doing stupid things, imo.

I was 18 and married when I had my first child and honestly shudder to think of how difficult it would have been to cope on my own although, admittedly, I was endowed with far more common sense it appears than JB and of course, had a mother who'd have done whatever it took to keep my kid safe.

[Deannalynn]

My thoughts on JB are sad and disappointment for what she allowed Navaeh to be exposed to. JB carried out a horrendous crime and did time for it. Good Gawd, home invasion.
She knew she had a baby waiting for her when she got released yet she choose to associate with the same type of people who also had done time, when she was released. This was indeed very dangerous for her but most important for her 5 year old daughter. A recipe for disaster and that's what JB got.
She was clearly attracted to the same people who she either got into trouble with in the past or made new friends who were trouble.
As a result JB 's daughter Navaeh was murdered because of her behavior and her choices she made. It is not difficult to pick up and start a new life if you really want to. Especially if you have that one special person to do it for. YOUR CHILDREN." I don't think JB was interested in being a mom as we know it. Not in the least.
God Bless Navaeh.:rose:

This is what I see so much of today. Probably there have been mothers thru out the ages, being like this, but it just seems so prevalent today. Many girls want to have a baby to "keep her man" but doesn't take into account that, once you are a "mommy"--that is exactly what you are. A mommy. Mommies don't eat until their kids have eaten. Mommies don't go out for fun or to work or whatever unless there is someone responsible watching their children. Mommies stay home if their children are sick, whether it be from work or from social outings. It takes time and sacrifice to be a mommy--so many don't want to sacrifice their own wants and needs. I just hate to see a girl/woman in a relationship with scum of the earth-because they HAVE to have a "man" around. Especially the ones where the "man" does nothing to contribute to the household or to raising the children, but just is around to pick up the paycheck or welfare check the mommy gets. Sometimes that is the ONLY time the "man" comes around.

Excellent post Amy...
How many mothers can read this post and say. YES! I'm a Mommy!
There are so many thousands out there that can not.
Each time I come across GK's photo my mind races and my stomach hurts. I want to reach into the screen and beat him down and I'm by far a violent person. The thought of GK being remotely around me or any family member, makes me angry and SICK!
They need a separate Island for RSO. What the h*** was JB thinking.
Ya think she will change her playground after all this has happened. Yes, the funeral is over and that will not bring Navaeh back. Sorry guys but I'm afraid they would have to send me to prison if something ever happened like this to my daughter. just sayin. Would it fix everything? No..But I think I would literally nut up and have no control of what would come. The justice system is certainly NO help.

[mdreeves]

I don't post often here but, I felt compelled to post in re: this case. First, I thought about if this mother loved her child or not. Of course she did. I think she did love her. Then I thought, was she raising her the right way? Not in my opinion but, perhaps her way of raising a child is the norm in the area she lives in. There does seem to be a lack of emotion. I am not going to judge anyone on how they react to tragedy. We all have different ways of dealing with emotions and some prefer to keep emotions private, away from the public eye. I can live with that. Here is what troubles me. Apparently both men of interest have alibis, from what I read. I could be wrong. I also saw more emotion and concern from GK then JB, just my opinion. Sex offenders cannot be cured and have the desire to act out for life, this has been documented by scientists. GK is a sex offender and will always be a sex offender. He needs to stay away from children or never be left alone with a child...period. JB appears to lie. What stuck me was the way she lies. You see I have a daughter who has been diagnosed with Anit Social Personality Disorder and is a pathological liar. JB is a carbon copy of the traits my daughter has. I found that interesting because when she was being interviewed by Nancy Grace, she was trying to ocver her lies by back tracking. Nancy really put her on the spot and all I saw was JB back peddling, constantly. There is certainly something wrong here and while I will not say JB killed Nevaeh, I think it may be the outcome. My daughter is in prison and if you had asked me if she would ever hurt anyone, I would have said no. She didn't but she came close. There is just something about the tangles web JB has woven that raises my concern that she is not being honest and that she may in fact know more than she is saying, or is the killer.

Excellent post, Amy! :thumbsup: I feel exactly the same way you do. Jennifer Buchanan didn't deserve to blessed with a child. It's really unfortunate that there are so many more women just like her. God help our children! :crying:
