    I was 'lost' at a carnival in Germany by my mom and step-dad in second grade. Now, 44 year later, I'm not so sure it wasn't an abandonment attempt. I got picked up by a nice young couple and carried around on the guy's shoulders for what seems to my young mind like hours, before we eventually spotted my parents near the gates. There was no excitement. I recall no hugs or "where did you go" or even the slightest concern about my whereabouts or who these people were who had me. I wish that young couple had just kept me.

      An abandonment attempt is an interesting suspicion - but impossible. In the evening when all visitors leave but you stay the police is called, your name and adress is found out... a REAL serious abandonment attempt would have been made somewhere in the woods, or a long hike through the desert with you accidentally left in the car without water, or maybe (staged) accidents and strange poison symptoms would have started to happen.... if you know what I mean ;) just getting lost at a carnival for an hour is no serious attempt to get rid of unwanted children.

      It happened to me with my oldest at a Walmart and with my youngest near home; it was a very scary and traumatizing experience!! 🤔😔 I do not wish anyone goes through it. On both cases (which were about 9 or 10 years apart), I immediately contacted police, and thank God both times went well. Kids (especially boys) are like that, even if you explain to them 100 times, they would watch that parents are busy; one minute they're next to you and the next they're giving you a panic attack by leaving your side!!! 🤔😯😔

      It's an unpopular fact that men are better parents than women, because if we don't want to be a father we just won't. Women will want a strictly sexual relationship with a man, get pregnant to try to trap him, and now her horniness has become her child's problem.

      The same thing happened to me many years ago. First time in California. We were at Disneyland watching the teacups. I was holding my 18-month-old and looked down, my 4 y/o daughter was missing. I looked all over the place. I couldn't find her. after what felt like10 minutes I was sure she was kidnapped and taken to Mexico by the drug lords. I've never prayed so hard in my life. The panic was horrible, I couldn't think straight. I didn't know what to do, my husband was with the old kids. I was asking employees and guests if they had saw a little girl, no none had. The panic got worse, I couldn't breathe, I looked everywhere. I finally found her by the teacups. I was so relived; I gave a prayer in my heart of thanks and realized the whole ordeal only lasted a couple of minutes but felt like several. I really don't know how parents with children that disappear for days, weeks or even month handle this. Elizebeth Smart, Polly Clasp parents and all the others that don't get the media coverage. We need to pray for them

When I first heard about this, I immediately thought she was guilty. As time went on and her stories kept changing, it confirmed my suspicions. Would you believe that, when she was arrested in Florida, she was working as a paralegal for a prestigious law firm? Imagine their shock when they found out that she was arrested and WHY. Amazing that a prestigious law firm didn't do a background check on her. Thanks again for presenting case, you did a great job!

    I hate to say it but they really didn’t have enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt in this case and it’s a real shame. I personally believe she’s the most likely culprit too, but the evidence left far too much room for doubt. They really dropped the ball by not showing the evidence found with Timmy sooner so as to have more solid proof that she did in fact own those items. Showing these things 20 years later to a niece with a very fresh grudge was a very bad move. Utterly disappointing.

    It is true that any young mother experiences financial and social issues.
    I raised my son myself, and had to do so with absolutely no family help.
    It was so difficult not pursuing my goals, not finding a decent partner, not having time to hang out with friends, not doing adult things, not being well rested or having a roof over our heads all the time.
    And so often I would be so lonely, scared, overwhelmed, physically exhausted that I would wish I were dead. The feeling didn’t stem from selfish depression, it was just the result of having too much on my plate and being denied a helping hand by my extended family AND social services when I asked for anything.
    But I never once thought about killing my son to get rid of the “problem”. Simply imagining him not being alive was traumatic.
    To have the ability to kill your own child must be severe mental illness.

      The reason why they do the double jeopardy thing, is let's say there's a very socially awkward person (not that I'm socially awkward or anything) And they just seem fishy. No evidence but they find a blanket, they go to court found not guilty. They find a shoe... No DNA found, not guilty. They find a hairpin... Not guilty. Yada yada.
      That would be so aggravating, if each one of those was a different court case. They should have continued investigating. A blanket in someone's house? Someone could have kidnapped the child from the house and grabbed the blanket he was sleeping with.
      Is her behavior weird? Yes!
      But I was always told that anyone can be found not guilty at any time, but you only get one chance to find someone guilty. And you can always undo a guilty verdict -- with evidence... Even though they hate doing it.

    When I was in junior high, my parents attempted to leave me on a mountainside during vacation, only to later claim they didn't realize I was missing. We were traveling in separate vehicles, but I had wandered into the woods for maybe 20 minutes before I ran back out because I was afraid they'd leave me. I caught them just as they started to drive away, and it became a "hilarious" family story. As an adult, I realize how insane it is to start driving away without confirming you've accounted for all of your kids, especially after one had been in the woods for several minutes. They never even went in after me, which is what I assumed they'd do. Also of note, why did I fear being abandoned? I went back to the cars because my family had been quiet and I was afraid of being left behind. Why would a kid be afraid that their parents would leave them? I wonder what they planned to do if I hadn't caught them driving away.

      This was 1991. Times were different back then. Kids played outside all day long. No ones parents followed them around all day. No one thought twice about leaving a kid in the car while they ran inside to pay for gas, or grab a few groceries. We rode in the back of pickup trucks, no seats, let alone any seatbelts, we rode our bikes without helmets. We stayed outside all day long and didn't come home until the street lights came on. Times were different. Safer back then. It was not uncommon for parents to ask kids to "stay right here while I" we listened and stayed where we were told, without worrying about being abducted by an adult. Nowadays, things are different, times are different, circumstances are different. I would never let my kids do any of the things I was allowed to do as a child.

      Same crimes happen then as now, but I do agree that attitudes and awareness is more cautious nowadays. Though, you'll still find people being too carefree with kids. You'll still see kids without helmets, seatbelts, being smoked around, etc. Now, there's heavy emphasis on living with distractions every second - on phones while riding their bike, skateboard, walking, etc (adults too).

      Sorry but no way in h*ll were they truly remembering a blanket they saw 2-3 times 25 years ago while babysitting. The claims were absurd and if I had been on that jury the absurdity of such “evidence” to prove a *MURDER* case would have enraged me.

    • @xcountryrunner9
      @xcountryrunner9 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

      I think it depends on the person, some have visual or photographic memory and also things in childhood tend to stick in the memory better. All those babysitters were very young and maybe there was a story behind it or it stood out in some way. I can tell you right now there are a few blankets I can easily picture from my childhood and I haven't seen them since then. I may not remember every single detail but I could certainly describe them and if I saw them it would be even more clear. Though only seeing a blanket a few times is different though again unless there was a strong memory or story attached to it.

      ​@hopesherie1 this is incorrect. This is from the justia website: A defendant whose conviction was reversed on appeal may be retried without violating double jeopardy. However, any charge of which the defendant was found not guilty the first time cannot be retried.
      People seem to be taking the word of the defendants lawyer that is stated in several news articles, and not the ACTUAL law. This is not what double jeopardy is.

The way she treated her son by dragging him down the stairs and pushing him into the car was telling. You can see the guilt all over her face. She has black cold eyes. That poor little boy.
