I tell you I was out of my mind with TERROR, it was only a split second and she was gone. She had wandered down to the other street and up to the highway. A young boy saw her, took her to his home and called police, just about the same time I called them. She came home ok. BUT, it can happen in a flash.
Point, is ALL GOOD MOTHERS will panic and call Police the minute they go missing.
Casey did not, she LIED for 6 months about Caylee all the while she partied.
My son went to the shopping center across the street. Thankfully, the security guard recognized him, called the police, all the all while telling them I was a good mother and something must be wrong. I thank God every day for that kind man. And, that we were in Texas and not San Diego. I had not called the police yet because I was looking for him in the complex (ran to the pool). A man driving down the street, heard me calling his name, pulled in and told me he had seen him. I cannot, to this day, believe how it all went. God was so good to me.
