I am sad, too. Dead mother, orphaned little one, now in foster care. And, we will never know why.
The world I once knew no longer exists. Look up Matthew Arnold’s poem, Dover Beach. Just an excerpt below.
“Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.”
This is where we are.
You learn something new at FR every day. I was amazed at how much dental hygienists make too.
Maybe someone in the secret service is the daddy? Remember when a bunch of them got in trouble with some hookers down in Brazil, or wherever? I think they hired a bunch of new ones after that.
He then pulled out his badge shieldy thing and told me he was "watching a house down the block over a drug issue". I asked him if would like a cup of coffee while he waited? He said "Sure". So I went inside and got him a travel mug of coffee. He then told me that there were some people down the street in a rented house who had no business being in a place where nice people live, like us who want to know what's going on in their neighborhood and treat people nicely.
Now in today's nutty world, just think about how badly that encounter could have gone down? Think about the version of the story that would make it on the news if he was some jack-booted power crazy dumass?
It’s a matter of supply and demand. I used to be a dental hygienist and was making $40/hr back in the seventies in Phila, while hygienists in VT were making $40/day. They make $60/hr where I live now. Most don’t work a $40 hour week, though.
I think it more likely tat Michelle id the father.
Grover Al Norquist is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
You don’t get babies out of a mans butt!
Sorry I don’t know how that happened.
I think twice about initiating confrontations like that myself. I would more likely keep an eye on someone like that and gather info like lic. #, model make, personal description. Note his actions and note times. Check round chambering in my arms. Maybe call the Sheriff and give a head’s up if the situation really seemed queer. But I live in a rural area and don’t see things like that very often. A stakeout in a big SUV would stick out like a polar bear in the desert.
Seems to be a common speculation today. Why else would this woman drive 250 miles to the Capitol with her baby in the back seat?
Had to be some sort of powerful inducement. Until we get more data, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that this had something to do with the child's father, who may be a gov't employee in that area.
Thank you. I guess I don’t know wage rates very well.
I can’t imagine! And I don’t think I want to. LOL
Interestingly I saw mine today and she drives a 7-series BMW.
My father told me to go into health care. Seriously. But did I listen?
CO, Colorado?
I suspect they do.
Why?
Watch the video. LE had surrounded the vehicle looking in every window from close range. If the child was in a baby seat they surely would have seen it. Perhaps the child was hidden from view.
She sure doesn’t seem to be hesitant in her driving.
Or lost.

Of course I have been watching the video repeatedly all day. My 30 years in LE and security operations is primarily what prompted me to add the part about how the possible or even likely knowledge that a child was within would or should have caused the cops to hold their fire.
If the child was hidden from view, why? It adds to my mystification as to why she came to D.C....?
