Thank you for raising such caring and thoughtful concerns. I'm sure they're shared by many others here, including myself, and they genuinely reflect how extraordinary, unsettling and serious all of this is.

I took the step of pointing out where to look on Facebook for Shana's posts because I felt it was important for folks here to be made aware of them. Later, after Anth's post (which Shana posted a link to), I felt compelled to quote her, in part to help eliminate any doubts concerning her credibility.

I also limited my posts to publicly available information and somehow managed to take on the role of a consolidator of sorts. (I was a professional organizer.) After this recent post, however, I felt that I reached the limits of my boundaries and taken it as far as I could.

Put another way, you're right; it's their story to tell if and when and however they choose.

I can add that there has been a lot more confrontation than we know already as evidenced by a vile screenshot in the 24 comments - not everything has been brought over from Facebook. I picture them in the eye of a storm that has been swirling around them for a number of years. I can also add that I've been told that Shana is deeply appreciative and supportive of everything that's been posted by everyone here.

Beyond that, I trust that they're handling their unimaginably extraordinary circumstances with clear heads as they go about their lives. All I can do now is watch for anything that might unfold knowing that I might not even hear about it when it does. I also don't expect to hear much from them beyond the occasional Facebook posts they've been making and I trust their reasons.

(As for Prem... all of the above?)

Beyond that, all I can do is join others here in expressing support and applauding them for their courage and integrity.

At least now we know what little we know so far.

I'm humbled that recent posts have brought out such moving posts as yours and that so many people are reading them.
