I can only *wonder* if you even have children. If not, your non emotional reaction is somewhat expected. If you *do* have children then I would question a non-emotional reaction to your little girl being abducted and most likely dead.

I think you have a problem with reading. I said I would be emotional with family and friends. I was brought up to keep my business to myself and to not look for pity.

People who go out in public with their emotions on their sleeves are looking for pity, in my view.

Parents who go on television in the hope of finding their lost children should get help from the public. They should not have to cry in public to get the help.

If they don't cry, it does not neccasarily mean they are not grieving, they might just be private types.

I haven't been following this case closely enough to be able to judge or offer an opinion about who did it or why. All I know is, if my child was taken from my home in the middle of the night, I would know it. If someone came in my home, I would know it. I can hear my children breathing all the way upstairs. I can't explain it, but there has to be something there, when it comes to a parent's 6th sense.

Secondly, if anything happened to my children, I would be inconsolable. I would be a screaming, hysterical, wigging, despondent mother. I don't think I could go on TV. I wouldn't be able to mutter anything but blubbering in between sobs. My husband would have to be the strong one and speak out, but he is as emotional as me, so he probably couldn't do it either.

At any rate, just because you could be a blubbering idiot on TV when your child is dead in a ditch some where, or buried in a shallow grave, doesn't mean you want attention. Good grief! I wouldn’t be able to gain composer, and I question people who can.
