Why We Didn’t Believe Patsy Ramsey

Patsy Ramsey spent the last ten years of her life claiming that neither she nor anyone else in her family was responsible for the murder of her daughter JonBenet.

Some of us Americans didn’t believe Patsy.

One reason why we didn’t believe her is the same reason why we paid attention to the Ramsey case in the first place.

To put it bluntly, we were disgusted by the photos of little JonBenet being dressed up to look like jail bait.

Instead of dressing her daughter to look like the little girl that she was, Patsy dressed her daughter to look like a miniature version of a fully-grown woman, as if JonBenet were the female version of Mini-Me.

In an article for Court TV's Crime Library (Link) , serial killer expert Marilyn Bardsley writes,

"The first images of JonBenet Ramsey that were broadcast to the world showed a pretty little girl in heavy make-up and flamboyant costumes parading across a stage. At the time, the media described her as "a painted baby, a sexualized toddler beauty queen.""

JonBenet
To some Americans, sexualizing one's six-year-old daughter is a form of child abuse.

So, this is what some of us thought: If Pasty Ramsey abused her daughter in such a way, then it's possible that she is lying about her daughter’s murder.

[Members of the Boulder, Colorado police and members of the media had other reasons for not believing Patsy.]

Now, it may be going over the top to claim that Patsy was actually guilty of child abuse. There is no legal evidence that I know of that Patsy abused JonBenet.

Still, Patsy went too far in the way that she dressed JonBenet up for the pageants that the child was in, as evident by the child’s alleged killer.

When John Mark Karr confessed to killing JonBenet, he mentioned her involvement in beauty pageants (Source Link).

Patsy may one day be vindicated in regards to who killed JonBenet.

Still, Patsy was punished by society for making her daughter look like an adult twelve years too early.

Hopefully, mothers of other little girls will learn a lesson from Patsy’s tragedy.

I really forgot about that angle, and you're 100% right, David.

People saw her walking around looking like a 10 year old street walker in a cowgirl outfit.

Just thinking about it makes me sick all over again.

I never felt much sympathy for the parents of Jon Benet because of the way they used her.

Actually, the first red flag for me was the Ramseys' own behavior. They contacted a PR person and their lawyers almost immediately. They stalled their interview with police for months. (I heard it was a year, but I don't recall off hand.) Anyone who watches crime shows knows that the parents are the first people interviewed if for no other reason than to eliminate them as suspects.

And Aaron, poor little JonBenet never got the chance to be 10.

Some of us truly believe that JonBenet was killed by her mother.

I agree wholeheartedly that dressing up a child to appear as woman played a key role in turning many people against the parents. I would try to stand in the shoes of parents who do this believing it is good for their little girls. Ultimately, though, if this was something that disappeared from society I think we would be all the better for it.

The movie Little Miss Sunshine spears these mini slut beauty pageants beautifully.
