I agree.
But, as you can see from the original story I posted, the reporter said the child only walked "several blocks" and implied the distance was less than a mile and a half.
Also, in the updated version, the mother has gone from sobbing and hysterical to open minded. She now admits it was probably simply a "breakdown in communication" and is "thankful her son made it to his daycare safety."
Perhaps the real point of this thread is that, once again, the media trumped up something minor into a major case, exploiting the story's subject and exhibiting a disregard for the facts.
ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
