Toot Renoos asked this question about We Need to Talk About Kevin:
Ok it seems pretty clear that Kevin poured the Drano into his sister's eye, but at our book club last night there was a heated discussion about Cecilia. The group was split on these two issues 1) was she simply slow, developmental not where she should have been or 2) was she so tortured by Kevin that like an abused child will not point the figure at him. Did he treatment account for her unnatural fears?

Usually parents never notice the real picture of their kids, they even don't have that much time. They have too much grown up stuff to deal with so who knows what kind of horrible things he did to her and it probably got worse after the pet, because now he was able to chantage her. And when he got tired, making it disappeared was the test to show her what he is capable of. Why else was she to scared to actually tell about the open cage.
I also think he made her poure Drano in to her eye by her self. He was really good with manipulation and she little and scared.
So yes she was so tortured, abused that she didn't know any different. And all she was able to do after the accident..was to try to stay with mom as much as possible. Poor little thing.(less)
