There were many mistakes that was done in the Jonbenet case. They did a poor job into protecting the crime scene. The first responder even asked john and the neighbor to look all over the house for anything unusual. That is something you are not supposed to do, them looking around the house led to the body of Jonbenet and destroyed evidence. Former Boulder police chief, Mark Beckner, said that first off the police officers should have shut down the crime scene immediately and taken statements from JonBenet's parents. Since the crime occurred on Christmas Day, Beckner said that there were less people available to get to the scene.

There is a time when she gazes at her children, hugging each other while sleeping, which reminds her of Given. She states, “I think Given must have held me like that once… But another part of me wants to shake Jojo and Michaela (Kayla) awake, to lean down and yell so they startle and sit up so I don’t have to see the way they turn to each other like plants following the sun across the sky” (151). We usually expect a mother to be glad to see her children getting along with each other harmoniously. However, Leonie is indeed jealous of her children because they are doing it so well. Jojo and Kayla share their happiness and worries with one another, and their intimacy is building a wall against the outside world that no one can invade. Originally, Leonie also had a caring brother, but Given was killed by Michael’s white cousin at her early age. Therefore, young Leonie had to cope with the family grief over the death of Given, and she suddenly lost a role model that she trusted or learned from. Later, when she is asked to prepare the death of Mam, Leonie looks at the old pictures of Given, and she says “And I want him back so bad then, because I want to ask him: What should I do?” (217). The quote pinpoints that although Leonie is a parent herself, she is not definite enough to make a decision for the family. She is hopeless as there is no one giving her decisive advice and instructing her

Being strong means having the ability to cope with pressing and traumatic experiences and having the ability to persevere in the face of conflicts. When Kia finds out that she is with child she decides to keep the baby and finds friends that will stick with her throughout the heavy times-namely Justin from her church youth group and Grace from the old persons home she volunteers at. Although this time in her life is important and also filled with hard decisions her perceived childhood friend Shawna and people at school shun her, for not terminating her child, when what she needs most is support. Kia not only sees the reasons for her old friends’ distance she eventually confronts those who had shut her out and shows them that she has indeed changed for the better and is able to be better than the superficial attitude they had extended towards her for the duration of her pregnancy. Rather than just pretend that nothing is different between them, as many would have done, Kia risks her oldest standing friendship because she knows that that would not be a true friendship ever again because of this large moral gap. This part of the story reveals that Kia is mentally strong because she

1.The Native Americans may have felt that the white settlers new to America exhibited hypocrisy toward them because, the settlers wanted freedom from persecution experienced from the church of England, but instead enforced the same things they were fleeing from on to the Native Americans. In “ Reply to the missionary Jacob Cram”, Red Jacket talks about how the white men deceived them. “ Indians were hired to fight against Indians, and many of our people destroyed. They also brought strong liquor amongst us. It was strong and powerful and has slain thousands” (Bayum 452).

She seem to be hurt that she had done such a crime to her children. One can see how powerful, lack of empathy can play in the role of crime.
