I truly feel that unless you've actually BEEN there, you can't say that the way someone is grieving could be "off". I'll never forget when my neice was killed in a car accident at 18 months old... there were so very many varying forms of grief at that memorial service, I will never, ever lose that. I was grieving as well, yet it was really a sight, to see the people who reacted with anger, with smiles/laughter, with blank stares, or with unending sobbing. I know that I myself ran out of tears after a time.

Rest In Peace, sweet little Somer. My heart breaks for her family.

I feel awful for this girls family, and your right unless you've been there you cant say how someone should grieve especially after 2 days of hell that woman went through. Most of us thank God will never know what she is feeling.

So so sad.

Very sad, I was really hoping that she would turn up safe and well

I am very upset about this. I live just outside of the area she was taken from, I hope that they find who ever in responsible. It makes me nervous for all other children out there.. My heart goes out to her family.

At the 6 pm press conference the sheriff said that the body is most likely Somer Thompson.

The mother doesn't seem suspect to me at all and I really do find it sad that people are judging her grief (or lack there of.)

Okay........I said from the outset that I had NOT seen any video of the mother. Therefore, I was not commenting on the mother in this case. I was making an observation about criminal cases in general. At the risk of repeating myself, I did mention that there is a world of difference between a person who is "all cried out" and a dry crier. There's a big difference between someone whose face is puffy, eyes are bloodshot, etc. from previously crying yet is not presently crying vs. a dry crier. There is a difference between someone who is struggling to maintain their composure vs. a dry crier.

Dry criers are in a league of thier own. Maybe I'm not getting the description across or maybe people have mistakenly thought I was applying the term to THIS mother, but dry criers are a unique group. They set off alarm bells for a reason. If I had to sum it up, these are the people who are working overtime to convince the public and the police (by their facial expressions, scrunched up faces, voices, dabbing at nonexistent tears, etc.) that they are crying a river. Yet they are not crying at all. It's not the fact that they are not crying that makes them suspicious.......It's the fact that they are trying so hard to make you THINK they are crying when they are doing no such thing. A truly griefstricken person doesn't give a rat's hiney if they appear to be sufficiently griefstricken. The last thing their mind is on is trying to make sure others have gotten the message, "Oh, he/she must be so broken up. They're crying their eyes out."

A griefstricken or terrified person may cry, look stunned, remained composed, become hysterical or act any number of ways. But they don't spend a ton of energy trying to convince people they're crying when they're really not crying at all. They just don't. Those are the dry criers and they are concentrating on themselves.

At any rate, it's an observation I've made and clearly, others (including police) have made. There is a reason for it. But I never applied it to the mother in this case, as I have YET to see any video of her. Given what I've read, it doesn't even seem possible she had anything to do with it.

That being said, I truly wish it was unimaginable that any mother could hurt her own child. But time and again, we are taught this is not so.

Like others here, I saw the mother on the Today show yesterday and I personally almost cried watching her. She was hardly a dry crier. My impression was that she was fighting to get the words & information out so she might somehow get her daughter back, alive. She looked horrible. There is no comparison between this mom and to how that pig Casey Anthony behaved. Somers mother had nothing to do with this.

How sad, sad, sad. I remember reading an interview with the mom from England who's daughter was taken from the hotel room while on vacation - she was really taken to task by a lot of people by appearing so cold and in control during the interviews. She said she was told by police to try to hold it together during the interviews as the perpetrator could be watching and that is the response they were looking for (the tears). Maybe that's what Somer's mom was told also. I watched the interviews yesterday and felt sick to my stomach at what she must be going through.

I commented on the fact that the mom appeared to be acting hysterical and not crying. After reading comments here, I looked at probably 15 different videos and in every one, when she wipes her eyes, there are no tears.

I posted that I hope the mother is not involved. It is not a judgment, it is statement of fact that there are few if any tears. My first thought as I watched her conference was 'crocodile tears'. It isn't as though this hasn't happened in the past. Unfortunately, those monsters are responsible for some, like me, who suspect parents when at one time the thought would never have crossed our minds.

This is a horrible case, I hate when things happen to kids so senseless and sad.

I would like to comment on dry criers, I am one I can't help it. It's not that I don;t care or anything the tears just doesn't come. And b/c of that I get the same stereo typed that you have done do this mom. I am not saying she didn;t do anything but I would like the facts b4 I convect her.
