I don't have a good feeling about this. It seems strange to me that the parents just happened to get up at 3AM and notice the child was missing from her bed. I really hope I'm wrong about this one.
I just don't know what to think about this one. I hate it, and I hope that she is found safe and sound, but the odds are that she won't be. I also have a few red flags going off about the girl friend. I don't know why, but something is not right there, lie detector or not.
Unless she was passed out on drugs or something to that nature, she would have heard or felt something as the child was removed from the bed. Then there is the brick. If a brick was thrown through a window or a door, someone would have heard that, even one of the kids could have heard that. Why would someone bring a brick in and set it by the door, unless they used it? Something is just not right about all of this.
Does anyone know how old the brother is?
I'm a mom but there have been times when I wake up to find a child in my bed and wonder when they got there. They come in when they can't sleep/have a bad dream and it doesn't wake me up.
I DO wake up to go to the bathroom and check on them in the middle if the night.
I don't buy her story for a minute tho. She's flaky and I think she's hiding something.
I am also one that gets up often to check on DD. But I have a MIL who tried to kidnap my step kids more than once and I wouldn't put it past her to kidnap my youngest. MIL does not try to see BIL's kids at all but is very upset that she can't see my child. We have even gone so far as to tell certain family members they can't have pictures of DD if they have contact with MIL. I don't ever want MIL to be able to recognize DD on a playground or soccer field. Some family members aren't allowed at our house because we don't want them to be able to tell her where we live. I take as many precautions as I can. MIL is evil! I know that if given the chance she would take my child in a hearbeat.
That's awful!
She's not a mother. She doesn't have our instict. She's a 17 year old kid! She may love these kids of her BF's but she isn't their mother and she may have slept through it. It's just not the same. Until you have given birth, you just can't imagine the instict a mother can have not only for her own children but for others in her care also. The GF just doesn't have it yet.
There are many people who can sleep thru anything. Many people. Back in the day we lived on the first floor of a tripledecker house. My dh once slept thru a gang of PCP-driven young men who broke in the front door and then came down the common hallway to our first floor flat, trying to break down our front door. They were screaming and yelling, kicking and throwing themselves against our front door. For 15 minutes. The front door was only 3 feet away from the head of our bed. My dh slept thru the entire 15 minutes from hell. Meanwhile, our neighbor on the 3rd floor at the opposite end of the house woke up.
