"Amber Alert: Search efforts grow in Alisa Maier abduction"
How many times does this have to happen before people get the message? Was no one watching a 4 and 5 year old playing in a front yard?
We have an 18 month old grandson who is a pistol and bears watching every minute he’s awake. I can’t imagine taking an eye off him at ANY age - not until perhaps age 21. His parents are already childproofing outside doors - even with a house alarm - as he can work doorknobs and deadbolts except the key kind.
I just don’t know what is wrong with people....partying was more important perhaps???
We all need to pray she is found very, very soon.
So what are you gonna do if he enlists in the Marines at 18? Sometimes you have to let go.

This is NOT the fault of the parents - it’s the fault of a system that lets pedophiles prey on children. A second offense with a child under 11 should be mandatory death sentence... that will stop the problem.
While you are correct - a 4 or 5 year old should not be left without supervision, now isn’t the time to assault the parents who I would imagine now truly regret not keeping a much closer watch (at least I pray this is the case). Lets not take responsibility away from where belongs - on the creep who decided it was a-ok to abduct a child. Period.
Those of us who are not near enough to lend a physical hand can still lend a big help by praying fervently.
My son was just telling me the other day about a man in the area he lives acting suspicious around small children and the neighborhood fear that he might be a child-predator. My son said they are being extra-vigilant and this incident reminded him that they need to be that vigilant all the time because creeps are out there all the time. Son was talking about adults watching children playing needing to go to the bathroom or something similiar and all it takes is seconds to snatch a child. I won't judge the adults unless there is information that they were indeed negligent because I am guilty of running to the bathroom or into the house to grab a ringing phone or similiar things. It should not happen but we do tend to let down our guard if nothing happens for a long period of time. One can only be so vigilant for so long before we do relax too much- human nature.
