This reminds me of a huge scandal going down in New Orleans right now--a janitor was recently arrested for raping young boys in the rest room of the school where he works (and coercing one of the boy into raping another). Turns out this sterling example of DNA had writs of protection signed against him by his PARENTS and his GIRLFRIEND. Background check anyone?
My 5 year old is just about to begin playing on her first soccer team. My husband and 16 yr. old son are coaching the team. They had to both fill-out paperwork so a background check could be run (including employers, references, etc.). Noteworthy is that we have been involved within this program since my 16 yr. old was 4, and we coached his teams from K-6. They have never had us do that before (or anyone we know doing the same), and I am so glad they are finally stepping that up ~ it is a must!
But a "Security Guard" not being checked???
Even if this POS could possibly have lied on his application, I would hold the resort 100% responsible and legally held responsible for failing to protect their guests. It is their employee after all. However, if he was there on contract from a security firm, that firm should be shut down, and sued for all they have!
Shameful, and tragic!!! Only positive thing is that she survived, and I can only hope that she may lead a normal life. Prayers!!!
Obviously a background check should have been done, as any sort of criminal history should render an applicant not acceptable for a security job.
On the other hand, I wonder how many applicants there were and of what ethnicity. It's sickening how so many sociopathic WASPy men get a pass because of the color of their skin. Nice white boy from Indiana, what could possibly be amiss there, right?
When I first read this story I was reminded of Cory Stayner, the Yosemite Park serial killer... and mild mannered maintenance worker. He would have passed a background check!
My thoughts are with this poor girl and her family. It's going to be such a long road back for her.
You know whats sad about this whole situation is that he was allowed out of prison back in 2006. Also, he has a 9 year old son, BY ME who he could care less about. I am ashamed that I chose such a monster to father my child but he wasnt like this when I met him 12 years ago. Ever since he got out of prison in 2006 he has only seen my son approximately 5 times and is now $30,000 behind in child support. When we were together from 1996-1999 he was physically violent with me and threatened to kill my family if I told anyone. Another thing that isnt mentioned is this isnt Shawns first rape. His ex girlfriend sent me an email about a year or so ago and told me that he had raped her and choked her. I'm glad this POS is where he belongs and I hope to god he NEVER gets out. The sad thing is his own son says "I hate my dad, I never want to see him again".
Brandi, I am so very sorry for you having had this man in your life, and so very sorry that your son has been affected so by his "father". Do not be ashamed of your decision. There are some people that never show their real self. At least you had the sense to make the break you did.
I hope if you haven't already found "him" that you will find a good man to love you and your son as you are both worthy of it and deserve it.
I must say, he is probably very good at making a good show of things, because he seems to be able to step out of shit smelling like a rose. I'm afraid this time it might not work for him, though.
Thank you Jaden. I'm sorry that I ever met him, trust me. He's definitely sick in the head. All the shit he put me through and has put others through, he has issues. And honestly, when it comes to my son, its so much better without Shawn in our lives. Whenever my sons father is mentioned to him, he gets extremely angry because he has THAT much anger and hatred built up for this man. What does that tell you when a 9 year old hates their own father? Or shall I say, sperm donor. Shawn Wuertley always has been and always will be a violent person. He loves the thought of being able to control someone...especially women.
Brandi:
Thank you for sharing what I am sure is really difficult for you to even talk about. You and your son will be in our prayers!
All I can really say is that thank goodness you saved yourself and your son from this creep and his abuse! You should feel proud, as many moms never are brave enough to take that next step and get out! Kids or not 
I do understand that, and could not imagine fearing for my safety/life, muchless that of my children.
Please understand that even though he was a part of your son being here in the first instance, your son will live his life as he is raised, or so all of us parents' hope! Sperm doner or not (really dislike that term), you have been blessed with a beautiful gift, and you did right by yourself and your son by not staying with him, obviously.
I sure hope his ex-girlfriend has reported this to the authorities, if not when it happened, then now. She is a victim, as you are.
Best wishes to you and your family!
Thank you! And just so you all know, I just found out yesterday that he has an infant daughter. Not that this situation is bad enough but if he's like this to girlfriends, and women he dont know, god only knows how he would be with his daughter seeing as though he likes the "power" to control females.
Heres a link to his and his wifes myspace although it is private but it shows a picture of his daughter as the background image...

They dont DO background checks on minimum wage jobs, and dont kid yourself, security IS a low wage job.
I like the daytime guy at my job, dont get me wrong, he is a retiree who is getting some extra bucks. The nightime guy scares the crap out of me though.
They dont have guns at my office dont get me wrong.
If you had any idea what a background check costs and takes (mine took a month, and that is the norm), you would be surprised.
Why would they do it for a job like security? It would be akin to doing one for a checkout person at the grocery store.
Melissa,
I think they can do a basic criminal background check in about five minutes. I know that when I worked as a substitute teacher in Montana, they did a criminal background check on every applicant through the Sheriff's Office. Perhaps it is like the one they do when you apply to buy a gun... not great, but better than nothing perhaps.
About scary: I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever that I show. When he was young, he and I travelled by ourselves a lot. He is generally a well-mannered laid back dog and will walk along next to me in a crowd with no problem whatsoever. Only two times has he gone absolutely apeshit towards a person approaching us-- barking, snarling, lunging, hair on end-- you get the picture. Once was in Salt Lake City, the other in New Orleans. In both instances the person was a hotel maintenance / security person. The dog knew what was up. Thank God I had him with me.
The background in the states that have the gun shows is a license check. To see if you are a felon. Thats IT. And a big IF at that.
"Security" personnel are notoriously known for being criminal. Of course a lot of them are retired police, I find in my experience that they work days, in offices, and check id.
The nighttime staff? The ones that they tell us to call if we want an escort to our car (not so much an issue where I live, but I guess there are a lot of people scared of the dark) I would guess would have retrievers growling at.
If they aren't going to pay their employees more than bottom money, they aren't going to pay for a background, or even a routine check.
I think that with kids, they are finally wising up. If you work with kids, then you have to go through a check, which is as it should be. But I would be surprised if it wasn't STATE funded when it contract workers such as security companies.
I think this may vary some from state to state, Melissa. I looked into Georgia's requirements for PIs as part of some research recently and came across what the State says it requires of security guards in the process, and legally, in this state, they are supposed to be pretty thoroughly checked out.
That said, you do have a point. I didn't think about it when I wrote the blog entry, but I've gotten the impression in the past that a lot of people are wary of "security guards" precisely because they often seem to be culled from a pretty sketchy segment of society.
Jeez, Kenneth Bianchi came to mind just now as an example -- he was one half of the Hillside Stranglers serial murdering team. Bianchi's hook was his security work.
This family probably still has grounds to sue that resort, though.
Thanks for the link Brandi. Did you happen to notice that Shelly last logged in on the 17th and her mood is showing as enlightened with a smiley face? Maybe she's glad to be rid of him too. It must be terrible for her to have learned her husband is a rapist. He sure has effed up a lot of lives of those he claimed to love.
I knew him as a kid he was always a sociopath, ALWAYS. Look back deeper into his background. He was adopted after being abused as a kid. His adopted family tried everything but the kid had no conscience. They took him all over the country to try to get him to straighten out, he got kicked out of one of these places by cornering a mentally challenged kid in a bathroom and trying to beat him to death. I hope he spends the rest of his life behind bars. I feel so sorry for the victim and her family, EVERYONE that knows him knows that is capable of much worse.
If I has her family I would own the hotel and the security company.
Looks like the wife logged in today, and her headline is "I have true happiness in my life! I UNCONDITIONALLY love my husband, Shawn, & OUR beautiful baby!! God is so good!!" and her city is " IT'S VIPER & MOPAR FOREVER AND ALWAYS"
Today was the first time I looked - was it like this before? If not, sounds like this could be another case of "stand by your man," no matter what he did...
Melly, I think it said something similar, but the UNCONDITIONALLY I don't believe was there. Also, the background photo is now of her and Shawn. It was of the baby. OMG, she can't be that stupid, can she? Let's hope she finds her way to Steve's blog so she can see what Brandi and anon had to say about him and his past.
Ok to surprise all of you...YES she is that stupid. Shelly met Shawn when he was in prison back in 2005...then the DAY he got out of prison, she married him...without even knowing him. There would be times that I would call her trying to get ahold of him in regards to our son and she would never tell him that I called. Shes just as bad as he is. On tuesday (the day of his arrest, I believe) I called her to ask her if she had heard the news about Shawn and you wont believe what she said to me. She replied "yes, I'm actually in Florida right now. They're getting ready to let me back to see him"...I was in shock. She knows things that he did to me, she knows that he tried to rape his ex girlfriend, obviously she knows his criminal past, she knows that he was living with a girlfriend WHILE married to her and then raped a girl and tried to kill her......AND SHE STILL STANDS BY HIM! Shes not enlightened to be rid of him. As a matter of fact I can see her dumbass staying married to him even if he spends life in prison. Let him rot in hell, Shelly. You're stupid for EVER marrying him and for EVER thinking he would be ANY sort of father figure seeing as though you've seen first hand what a dead beat and piece of shit he is when it comes to his son......wait MY son!
And yes Shawn was adopted as a child because his real mother didnt want him. Same reason why she gave all 3 of her kids up for adoption. I've actually met his biological mother (who now lives in Florida) on SEVERAL occasions (Shawn and I lived with her for awhile when we first got together as well) and I've met his adopted family. Unfortunately for this world, he didnt turn out like his adopted family.
Also, when it comes to background check there is ONE site they could've gone to and typed in his old DOC number and it shows a page full of crimes and what he was in prison for.
If you guys want to check it out go to
http://www.in.gov/apps/indcorrec...correction/ofs/
at the bottom it says "offender number" type in 990010. That was his old DOC number.

Brandi - Thanks for sharing so much personal information. Your sons are beautiful and your family looks very loved and happy. Best of luck to you and your boys!
Hi Shelly,
I actually posted the comments about Shawn (which I misspelled anonymous....) I am a member of Shawn's adopted family and you are right, these are some of the most down to earth good hearted people that tried to raise him, and in return he threatened to kill everyone in our family. I am going to try to contact you through Myspace. I think few people in the world knew him better than me while growing up.
I am sorry Brandi, I didn't mean to type the wrong name. I am still reeling from your post about Shelly and how stupid she must be.
Even if anonymous comments are constructive, they are still anonymous. You can call yourself anything you like, but just posting as "anonymous" belies any credibility you might have. After all, what's the point of being anonymous. The jerk is in jail, poor Brandi has certainly stepped forward bravely. Just my two cents.
Did Shawn ever live or visit Reno, Nevada.
Scottie,
Not that I am aware of. I know that his adopted family lived in Monrovia, Indiana. But whether or not he lived in any other state other then Florida or Indiana I am not sure about. I also do know that Shawns biological father lives in Littleton, Colorado.
And anonymous, you can contact me through myspace if you want. Just be sure to tell me who you are instead of remaining anonymous. =)
Larkin,
Thank you for your two cents, its definitely welcomed. But I have a question for all of you. I have thought about getting an address to the jail that he is in and writing him a letter just telling him EXACTLY how I feel and how much of a piece of shit he is, etc just to make him feel like dirt (as he is) without putting a return address on it and then after getting that off my chest just forgetting his existence. What do you all think of that idea?
He is not worth the money to pay for the stamp. His existence will be forgotten as soon as he is sent to jail for a long, long time. Unfortunately, his family will continue to go through the hurt and embarrassment of being associated with such an evil person, even though they had no choice in the matter.
Well it's very interesting the comments that Brandi - or should I say incubator - has to say about Shelly and Shawn. First off let me tell everyone that she of all people has NO Right to speak of someone being an unfit parent. She auctioned her son - the one she keeps spouting on and on about, Shawn Wuertley Jr - off on the radio. It's true! On the local radio station there is a program called the "sell and swap shop" it's on the local Martinsville Indiana station 102.3 and on this program people call in to sell items or buy them, etc. Well mother of the year there called in when her son was just an infant and put him out there to the first people who called in. She DID NOT KNOW THEM AT ALL in fact she HAD NEVER EVEN MET THEM before. What kind of sick piece of shit puts their infant son on the radio and gives him away to strangers? Brandi that's who. At least his dad had a reason for not being in his life - he was in prison and could not be. And yes, you can verify this. Brandi has been whoring around all over Indiana while her son (that she PRETENDS to care so much about) has been raised by Ronnie & Vanessa. They live in Spencer and Shawn Jr goes to Gosport Elementary School. He attended Martinsville until they moved down there. So as you can see, Brandi has lived in Greenwood, Indianapolis and now Noblesville - basically anywhere she can find a man to whore around with and sponge off of. She also has a little boy by yet another man and YES PEOPLE he too is being raised by others. She's as unfit as they come. I say thank goodness there is someone to take care of Shawn Jr and Aden because who knows how they would turn out if that whore raised them. So you all want to feel so sorry for her, but you should actually know the truth before you buy into her bullshit. At least Shawn's wife is raising their baby and is a good mother. And to answer the previous comments, yes I have seen her myspace and it has always said the UNCONDITIONAL part as well as the Viper and Mopar part - she has not changed that at all. Just thought someone might want to hear the truth for a change!
I highly doubt you knew Shawn better than anyone growing up. But it amazes me that now that this has happened you people are coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches to share stories that he can neither verify or deny. Wow! Maybe we should ask his family - who are the most amazing people ever - what they really think about you.
The point of being anonymous is that the SoB has threatened to kill everyone in our family. I don't think it is too intelligent to post your name and address on a website for strangers to review. I think saying that I knew him very well, still live in Monrovia and I am part of his adopted family is fine without leaving my name and social security number. I don't know Brandi or Shelly, but I can tell you everything about his past before his adopted family finally gave up on him and decided that he was an extremely dangerous person. He has a split personality and would act like your best friend, but would do anything evil to you and your family as soon as he would earn your trust again. I personally have never been scared of him, but it does scare me what he could do to your home or your family. He has always been a coward that targets people he can easily over power like women, animals and the mentally retarded kid that he tried to kill on that Texas ranch. So sorry if I am posting as anonymous but that is the way it is. And Brandi I will let you know who I am if I contact you on Myspace, I have probably met you...
Hmm...someone who knows Brandi? Well obviously you're too scared to tell who you are...which in fact you dont know me at all otherwise you would know that my kids have lived with me for awhile now and Shawn would've lived with me sooner if he wasnt such a piece of shit and spent time in jail and could've helped me take care of him. But go ahead and THINK you know me because obviously you dont. And whoring around? Are you kidding me? I've never been a whore for ONE. When I'm with someone I am only with them and the only reason the relationships didnt work out with my babys daddys is because of the first one, Shawn, well thats obvious why it didnt work out and my youngest sons father was addicted to drugs so EXCUSE ME for getting my kids out of that environment. And honestly, I could give a shit less what his family thinks about me. I'm not the one who is in and out of prison. I'm not the one who was accused of child molestation LIKE SHAWN WAS (and yes it was against his own nephew)...so again excuse me for keeping my son away from a MONSTER who is also a pedophile. Have a great day and continue to make yourself happy by believing that you "know" me. =)
And anonymous, I'm sure I have met you seeing as though I have met some of his relatives on that side.
Someone who knows Brandi, huh? Well obviously you're too scared to reveal who you are because you must already know that in fact, YOU DONT KNOW ME AT ALL! I can almost guess who that is anyhow. Yeah, I bet its Shelly...who else would take a MONSTER's side? Continue thinking you know me because YOU DONT. FYI, my kids have been living with me for a long time now but seeing as though you know me so well, you should've already known that. And you want to say I'm a whore? Yet again you dont know me. I've NEVER been a whore. When I'm with someone I'M ONLY WITH THAT ONE PERSON. Sponging? Hmm its kinda hard to sponge when I've always worked and paid bills. But then again you "know" me. The reason the relationship with my oldest sons SPERM DONOR didnt work is obvious because that would be the MONSTER himself, the reason my youngest sons father and i didnt work out was because I wanted to get him out of the bad situation that his father was exposing him to. How many times did Shawn see MY son since hes been out of prison in 2 years? Hmm...I can count them on ONE hand and the only reason he seen him was because I made the arrangements and I suggested it. MY SON has NEVER received a call on his birthday or any holidays and its been over a year since I've talked to the POS. Another issue that wasnt brought up was the fact that Shawn Wuertley was accused of molesting his nephew as well. Oh and by the way...MY sons name is NOT Shawn Wuertley, Jr. either. I would never want my son to have that sick mans last name. Its bad enough he has his first and middle name. So, have a GREAT day and continue THINKING you know me. =)

I have looked over these comments many times. And decided to add my comments. Brandi, I emailed you on your my space. I do owe you an apology. I re-read my email to you and it really sounded rude and I didn't intend that at all, quite the opposite. Brandi I hope you and your family are well you obviously know what is best for your son. I am very sorry if I offended you.
I dont care what "someone who knows Brandi" had to say negative about Brandi. Why are YOU judging Brandi?? She is not in jail awaiting trial for rape and attempted murder, Shawn is. Brandi was young when she met and had a relationship with Shawn. She knows that he is a "monster" and has chosen her children and their well being over anything else. It also seems to me that "someone who knows Brandi" was DEFENDING Shawn, anyone else get that vibe?? She also said "at least his dad had a reason for not being in his life- he was in prison and could not be" Uuuhhhh... HE broke the law so he went to prison it is HIS fault he was not part of his sons life. boo hoo poor Shawn, I dont think so!! As for all the people coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches, seems to me that they know Shawn, I would be suspicious of someone who claimed to know him and had good things to say about him. Dont be in denial, you know Shawn, you know he is a bad person (putting it mildly)why attack people who are being honest. I hope he is NEVER here to defend himself that would mean is was not in jail/prison. Although Shawn is afforded the Presumption of Innocence in a court of law (not here)I hope Shell doesnt just "stand by her man". She knows the things he has done and been accused of to defend him is as good as accepting his behavior and condoning it if you ask me. As for "anonymous" I feel very deeply for the adoptive family. They unselfishly took a young child into thier home to give him a better life and based on what you said he made their life hell. Adoptive parents WANT their children, for them to write him off says a lot to me. Sounds like they were very dedicated wonderful people who were faced with an impossible situation and did what was right for the safety and sanity of the entire family. Hard decision, I admire them! Did anyone happen to read how Shawn behaved in court on 4/25, he made a scene and was escorted out of the court room, surprised anyone??? I could be wrong but... total sociopath!! I still cannot believe that he was ever hired as a security guard. So much for standards, if there are any. I would imagine that there will be a day when the young woman that he raped and tried to kill will have to face him in court, I wish her the very best and the strength to get through it. Based on different things I have read it sounded to me like the victim was uncomfortable because of Shawns behavior and she did her best to avoid him. As a mother that is what we teach our children, too bad there are Shawn Wuertleys out there that are preying on our loved ones. They have his DNA and I would not be surprised for other crimes he commited to come to light.
VERY well said. Thank you!! All we can hope for now is for him to receive a life sentence. It's not like anyone will miss him. And its not like he was doing anything good for ANYONE or anything when he was out of prison! Hes definitely the poster child for birth control.
i am confirming that brandi isn't a whore. She was with her youngest sons father which is my 2 oldest kids father for years and she took care of my kids in the summer when they was there to visit their father. i think everybody has bad things in their life that may not be right so who are any of you to judge the life she lived or lives, nobodys perfect so before you all start pointing fingers make sure ur own hands are clean. brandi hes never been in ur sons life as far as i saw and he belongs where he is. and yes that girl is very stupid for wanting to be with a person who could rape her baby girl or kill them.
First, I have a question. The person who was 'allegedly' Brandi that 'called in' to the radio station to auction of Jr... has anyone wondered if that was Shelly trying to make her man look better by making his ex look like a psycho that drove him to his insanity? If you are so blind to stand by him after all this time, would it not be possible to make up stuff to fool other people into joining your 'side'?
Brandi - I am sorry for all that you have had to go through. Sometimes love and emotions can blind you at first, but you have been strong when you and your son needed it most. And that is what counts! It is not easy, I am sure. But it looks to me like that has to be easier than putting up with someone like THAT! You go, girl! I hope you find someone that does care. Someone who will help you, and your son especially, know a man who cares deep down in his soul not only about women, but about people. Someone who cares about those he loves and makes it unequivocally clear. Someone whose soul is transparent so that you may see that he is truly hiding nothing, particularly ill will.
Sorry to be so loquacious. As for anonymous, if that person wishes to stay anonymous, then so be it! As was stated earlier, no further info is needed to be broadcast to strangers, especially if it could cause another life (or lives) to be further endangered.
I think there are alot of things that Shelly would say about Brandi to make her look like the bad person. But in reality Shelly is no better then Shawn because she is sticking by him. I found her myspace page and it said that she was going to see him. I mean he was married then went to Florida to live with his girlfriend, while married, then raped yet another female. Honestly, I don't think that Shelly really knows her husband like she thinks she does, especially if she married him while he was in prison. I think I would know better then to marry someone in prison, that SHOULD tell you something about the person. And for her to stay married to him and be proud that she has a child with him even after seeing for herself what a deadbeat father he seems to be. She definitely sounds either a little off in the head or shes really desperate. Needless to say, shes going to continue to stay married to someone that she may never be able to sleep in bed with again and who will probably be in jail for the rest of his life. Sad.
Yes, Shell seems oh so proud of her wonderful husband. Shawn was a really good con as he was getting to know Shell, I will give her that. It did not take him long to show his true colors... boy were they ugly colors. I thought for a time Shell was naive and trusting and wanted to "help" him. I know better now, she knows exactly who and what he is and she is with him for no other reason than that is what she wants. He has done nothing but lie, cheat, steal, violate, betray and this is who she chooses to put her faith in. I choose to put my faith in the young woman and hope that none of my children ever come in contact with another Shawn Wuertley!! I look forward to seeing him convicted.
As a bystander who does not know either Brandi or Shelly but does know Shawn ( Florida ) I wanted to say that I can't help but notice that everyone here is on a witch hunt for Shelly and defending Brandi. My feelings about Shawn one way or the other put aside, I want to state that I have yet to find anywhere that Shelly has put comments about Shawn, Brandi, Shawn Jr, etc. I have; however, noticed that several people are putting comments about Shelly and her relationship with her husband online for everyone to see. Even going as far, Brandi, as putting a link to a page that has pictures of their infant child. I find the fact that anyone calling themselves a mother, that would purposely put links to pictures of an innocent child repulsive and pathetic. And honestly, not any kind of a real mother at all. As far as I know Shelly's relationship with her husband is not now, nor has it ever been anyone else’s business. Apparently she intends to keep it that way.
Now let me address the comments made by 'Anonymous' stating that "I think there are alot of things that Shelly would say about Brandi to make her look like the bad person." again let me say that I personally have yet to find any comments she has publically made about Brandi or anyone related to her (unlike Brandi). In fact I have tried to get in contact with Shelly regarding Shawn and she has never responded to me even though I have made it clear that I do know Shawn. Now to address the comments that 'Confused' made "The person who was 'allegedly' Brandi that 'called in' to the radio station to auction of Jr... has anyone wondered if that was Shelly trying to make her man look better by making his ex look like a psycho that drove him to his insanity? If you are so blind to stand by him after all this time, would it not be possible to make up stuff to fool other people into joining your 'side'?" In reading the previous comments made by Brandi herself, SHE states that "he has a 9 year old son, BY ME" and in another statement "Shelly met Shawn when he was in prison back in 2005". Obviously by Brandi’s own admissions Shelly could not have the one to call since it occurred 9 years ago. So it appears to me that either 'Confused' is mathematically challenged, illiterate or simply a friend of Brandi's who is trying to make her look better for all of the things she has been saying. Afterall, it must be horrible to know that everyone now knows that Brandi "auctioned her son - the one she keeps spouting on and on about, Shawn Wuertley Jr - off on the radio". It is also very apparent in Brandi's own words that Shelly did not do any of the things that 'Confused' or 'Anonymous' insinuated.
For the time being I shall refrain from commenting on the situation at hand with Shawn. Making comments about a woman who has had nothing to do with the situation with Shawn is asinine.
Well, it seems that an error could have been made by 'confused' and 'anonymous'... does that mean that anything said by those persons is in no way logical? Perhaps not. All I know is that it appears as though someone was trying to point to certain possibilities (though slightly cockeyed). But do not slander an outsider for trying to look at other points than what had been mentioned.
What I see though is that it is entirely possible that even those who know him, don't truly know everything about him. I will not make any assumptions as to who had done what, only shall I comment on what I had read - and that was the story on a woman who has been quite injured because of this man.
She is truly a victim in all of this, even if no one else is entirely innocent. What comments can be made for a woman who knew very little or nothing about this man around whom she was supposed to feel safe?
Whatever the situation, no matter how messed up it may be, with this man... it only seems to me that any woman would never be safe in his presence. It is men like him who make even some strong-willed women scared and nervous to trust in a man.
I have seen first hand how a man can manipulate someone whom he has gotten to fall for him. It is not pretty. Even with the knowledge of what is in the man's past, the woman will believe he has changed (even if only a little) as long as he gives her a reason to do so. As I said, I have seen it first hand. It is not pretty whatsoever, and the news of this incident only serves to make this epidemic that much uglier.
I see your point. You say Shell had not commmented on here but anyone who knew her can tell you that the comments made by "someone who knows Brandi" sound word for word like Shell. Shells my space page is on a public forum and unfortunately she had her babies picture up when the link was added. Brandi is as outraged as all of us by Shawn. From what I can see via Shells myspace page she "unconditionally loves her husband". That is not the comment of a woman in fear of or manipulated by her husband. I am saddened by Shells choice to accept his bahavior, in my opinion she seems quite proud of who her husband is. When you are single with no children you can date or marry convicted felons and abusive men all you want. Once you bring a child into this world you have an obligation to protect that child. You have got to very careful who you invite into your lives. Knowing what is now known about Shawn is he really the type of person you would expose your family too???
Again I feel compelled to say that there seems to be an apparent "witch hunt" now being led by 'K' directed at Shelly. She is not the one to be arrested and stand trial before a jury of her peers, so why continue to bring her up repeatedly? I find, as I previously stated, it to be very asinine to make comments about a woman who has had nothing to do with the situation concerning the alleged victim and alleged perpetrator. Why 'K' seems so inquisitive about a woman's marriage other than her own, and might I add, apparently hell bent (for lack of a better word) to post comments about Shelly and not the incident that this site was created about, to be an enigma. I now wonder what exactly it is that 'K' has to gain by all of this. The repeated posting of comments about a woman who has had nothing to do with any of this and has decided to keep her marriage and personal life private and out of the public view of people who are meddlesome. It makes me wonder if the tables were turned, so to speak, and others were in this woman's (Shelly) shoes how they would handle themselves. Maybe it is disappointment on the part of some that she has been as anticlimactic as she has to become involved in this circus everyone else seems to be performing in. I now have a better understanding as to why she has not responded to any of the attempts I have made to contact her. Because if the tables were turned I certainly would not respond to anyone either after seeing how the public at hand treats those that are not even involved. In response to 'K' "Shells my space page is on a public forum and unfortunately she had her babies picture up when the link was added." referring to Brandi posting the link for others to view an innocent baby. I stand behind my statement that anyone calling themselves a mother, that would purposely put links to pictures of an innocent child repulsive and pathetic. And honestly, not any kind of a real mother at all. Public forum or not, Brandi intentionally put the link knowing that the pictures were there, to me, in my opinion, that shows the caliber of person she is. Her actions speak louder than words.
Mathematically challenged? Please tell me you're not THAT stupid. For one, you DONT know Shawn, Shelly or Brandi. You have every right to say what you want because you do have the freedom of speech but why would you even think for a second that you could post a comment without knowing ANY of them. What Brandi did may have been wrong but what Shelly is doing is even worse. At least Brandi is trying to keep her son away from the "monster" and Shelly is trying to keep her child around him. Speaking of repulsive..what do you consider Shelly going from Indiana to Florida to visit him. He is a rapist and attempted murderer!!!!! If she was any kind of mother she would've divorced him as soon as she learned all about this. But another thing that you all dont know is Shawn and Shelly split up in the middle of 2006 and Shawn moved out. Well Shawn was jumped by like 4 men which almost killed him and guess who Shawn said "hired" them? Yeah that would be his wonderful wife. They were made for each other. And by the way, the "person who knows Brandi" IS Shelly. Just because she didnt put her name doesnt mean anything. So before you post anything on here you need to figure out if you know any of them before you open your mouth because if you dont, then you have NO place to say anything because you dont know anything!
Has anyone seen Shellys myspace? The other day it said that she was going to visit Shawn and now it states that she might be moving down there. I guess she don't realize that not only is she humiliating herself but shes doing it and sharing it with the world. She just dont get it I dont think. Nor will she ever. I guess she thinks that he will eventually get out and live a happy life with her. How stupid of her to think that or even want that! I feel sorry for the child involved. Seems to me that she is extremely desperate.
HHhhhhmmmm not sure how you knew I was married. That is not the point though. No, I am not leading any hunt against Shell. I simply read the comments and had an interest in them. What I knew of Brandi I learned from Shell or Shawn, it was interesting to see her comments here and her honestly in how she feels about the father of her son. The only thing I can say about her posting Shells link is that Brandi also posted her own myspace link that included pictures of her and her children. I will only say that I had a friendship with Shell I loved my friend. I spent many, many hours, day, nights worried about her. I cried with her, I supported her, I listened, I advised...I did more than she even knows. Shell made her choices and I could not continue in that friendship. For quite some time after I was still concerned about HER. One of Shells choices was to continue in her life with Shawn, his crimes and other problems are part of the accepted package. Shell is not stupid she must realize that to show support for her husband opens her up to criticism. Shell is no innocent victim she knew who she was married to, she continues to support him. The victim here is the young girl raped and almost murdered by this man. She is the one who deserves our sympathy and our prayers. The young woman who has to deal with a lifetime of memories of what happened to her and a lifetime of pain and recovery due to Shawns actions. Say what you will about me but I have told no lies.
