Is an abducted child a tragedy? Yes!

Is the story the news is reporting a tragedy? Well, this one seems to be, but my point was let's not get hysterical and jump to conclusions based on sensational reporting. That's all. If I were in the neighborhood, I would be looking for the child, not admonishing everyone to wait and see if she comes back on her own. But I wouldn't be mourning her yet and I wouldn't be weeping uncontrollably or telling tales of strange, shadowy men and advocating the arrest of every suspicious passer-by to TV reporters either.

Not mourning her yet!!!! But as a parent of three children, I would be hysterical if it were MY child. Even though my kids are adults now, in age anyway, I would still be hysterical!!! But I am a mom first and foremost!!!!
