She could have hired a babysitter for him instead of leaving him asleep in a boat on a lake. One can't help wondering if he has another parent anywhere ...
But seriously, I hope a home for the little boy is found with a normal, decent family somewhere far from the entertainment business.
Questions to be asked (according to Nancy Grace on F&F this a.m.): Was anyone else on the boat with her? Anyone else there when she rented the boat? Location of ex-boyfriends, stalkers? Why would she leave her young son alone on the boat? Etc.
The article says the boy says they swam together but she never returned....not much other info to supply context and nuance. So details are missing but I do see the life preserver on the boy as a possible sign that the mom actually did love her son and wanted him to be safe. Unless the Holy Spirit reveals otherwise we have no other info as to what was going on.
