BTW..this article is TWO years old.
And, secondly I think that calling the police to a matter (after five minutes) is a waste of their already limited resources.
I would rather waste the officers time and resources, than find my child dead because I hesitated when it was a matter of life and death.
It was timely in that her experience was related to the three dead children found dead in NJ and what a parent goes through in those first minutes. She said so in the comment section of the article she posted. Why do you have such hostility about this article? If you can't relate to this mother's desperation, then just go post on another thread that you do understand.
Sadly a lot of children end up dead in this country. Twice I have had a child missing for either a few minutes or a couple of hours. It turned out ok, but nonetheless I understand this kind of desperation. Most mothers would.
Not necessarily. In my teen years, a man exposed himself to my friend and I. He was in a car, we were walking. Called police. They caught the guy via "radio net" trying to leave town. Yep, we could describe his funny underwear too.
Childnappers can walk with child, away on foot. I think a lot depends upon where you live.
