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.
Desparation and panic is common, especially where children are involved.
I just question calling in the cops after FIVE minutes, when all plausible avenues of finding the child aren't even considered. No matter how much you want to call the moderators to have me banned from this thread, it is an hysterical response.
What a waste of public resources.
