Um...I'm sorry, and I know how stressful losing a child can be.

But calling the cops after five minutes without checking next door to see if the child was there, is HYSTERICAL, and not at all rational.

If people lived their lives like this woman does, the cops would be at their door every time the kid went for a whiz in the bathroom without telling Mom she was going potty.

Did you miss the part where she said she thought the neighbors weren't home.

When a small child is missing time is of the essence, especially in todays world. If the child is found safe next door, it sure isn't going to upset the police that they were called. Better than the case in New Jersey where it took four hours to notify the police that those three boys were missing.

Well, I think she already confessed she was a helpless mess of goo, or something along those lines. I usually have to be the voice of reason with my wife in these circumstances, but I'm freaking on the inside too.
