Interesting how many people on this thread reference films rather than real life experience--and I'm going to do it, too. In cases like this, I always remember that Meryl Streep "The dingo ate my baby" movie where the public - and the media-decided she'd killed her own child because her reactions just didn't seem right to them. It's just not fair to judge people on so little.

And on another note--what's the deal with the Mormon bashing? I'm not LDS, but we have a lot of them in my town and they are among the very best citizens. I think some people have a very strange idea of what the Mormon church is really like.

Meryl Streep passed judgement on apple farmers years ago and claimed that the Alar pesticide they were using was dangerous. It almost killed off the apple industry. Oh, and it turned out that Alar wasn't dangerous at all.

I try to ignore the Mormon bashers for the most part. They creep out whenever there is a "Mormon" or a Utah post and try to rile us up with their comments. To be honest, I hate to see threads like the Elizabeth Smart threads be thrown off course with those kinds of comments.

In Australia, do dingoes really eat babies?

The movie was based on a true story. Details at the above website.

Hey, why do you have to reference a film to make your point? I'm sure you can recall a lot of personal incidents where you knew people whose babies were eaten by dingoes. Why rely on film?
