So what do you think about the missing 8 month old baby?

[a1tinkfans]

I feel horrible for the Dad.

Unfortunately I think the baby is dead. If any person had "adopted" the baby they would come forward with some kind of information in order to let the police know that the baby is safe. I don't think the family who said they would adopt the baby would be able to get away with hiding him with all the news scrutiny.
and as to the mother not wanting the father to have custody... My son married a girl who after she had my grandson was diagnopsed bipolar. She refuses to take meds and has outbreaks where she cannot care for my grandson. My son has full custody right now and gets it every time she has an outbreak but as soon as she is deemed well enough she goes back to court and gets partial custody back. She would do whatever it takes to get custody away from my son who is a wonderful parent just because she feels he is "out to get her" when she is having problems and he gets full custody each time. This has gone on for 3 years now and will be a constant in the child's life.
I wonder if the mother has mental problems also and just wants revenge or whatever against the babies father.

the crosses some bear are terribly sad. Best of luck to your son and that grand baby!

I'm watching Nancy Grace right now and the more I hear about this girl the crazier she sounds. They are now saying that she wants the dad & another guy to take a DNA test.

They have filed charges on her but they do not include murder so maybe the police know something that we dont. She is still not talking and she showed attitude to the judge today.

Like someone else said, if anyone was asked to adopt him, they would have come forward to the police. I can't believe that they would not come forward.

Now the Smiths are back on now.

Ok what am I missing here. I have not read all the details about this case but just skimmed over them really fast. But why is it wrong to feel horrible for a parent of a missing child?

Any updates

Maybe if the police pressed murder charges against the mother she would finally tell the truth.

THANK YOU for pm'ing me about this post which was apparently mistaken or misunderstood by some. What I meant was HORRIBLE as in it is devastating, awful, beyond words........... for ANY parent of a missing child. I am so sorry if this read wrong the first time I posted. And I appreciate the fact that you asked me! So again, I am not sure if I also posted the wrong "picture thingy" (for lack of a better word).
I again want to say that I used the word horrible (which is synonymous with...horrendous, awful, etc).to describe how sad it was!!!

Glad you posted this. I misunderstood what you were trying to say as well.

I dont know much about the story but I do wonder about the father as well. Why would the birth mom go to such lengths to keep her child away from him? As for those who said he must be a decent guy because the courts gave him custody, I am a foster parent and let me tell you that isnt even the case half of the time. My son (who I adopted at 5) was given to drug addict the first time he came into care because said addict was his father, and the next time he came into care, given to a pedophile just because he happened to be his grandfather. Both of these individuals had a history, had served prison sentences. The courts just dropped the ball or just didnt give a damn that day and my poor child was left to suffer. If we hadnt hired an atorney this last time he came into foster care, he might have never been adopted, who knows who would have gotten him next. I do hope this little boy is safe. IT breaks my heart to see children suffer because of their parents or our systems stupidity.

This is sooo correct it needs to be repeated. A lot of ppl. think that just because the court gave custody to this is that parent, that it somehow means they're a good parent ect. That is so far from the truth. It absolutely can mean that, but in many cases it just means that no ones been able to "prove" that the parent has physically abused the child, and looks better than the other parent, although depending on the other parent, that might not mean much.

Any further developments on this case?

 

[OceanAnnie]

I'm curious too. I hope and pray that baby is with someone like the mother said. But it doesn't look good.

I haven't seen mentioned what I think would be an obvious reason for wanting to give the child up for adoption rather than leave it with the father. Child support. Even if the dad had full custody the mother would have to pay child support just like so many dads do. There are many attacks/ murders of mothers and children by men who don't want to support their children.

I think in our society we feel the woman has all the power when it comes to kids. If she wants the kid she keeps it and the dad pays. If she doesn't want the kid she gives it up for adoption and is scott free. I wonder how many women have an abortion because of this? She has the right to avoid all responsibility for that child if she aborts but if she has it and the father wants the child she has 18 years of chains around her neck for support. NOT that I think we can fix this. If we gave parents an opt out I can't imagine how fast our society would disintegrate. It's bad enough with all the baby daddys out there now.

I think he's alive somewhere. I don't know why, just this gut feeling. I think either the parents that were going to adopt him know where he is or she adopted him out to someone else and because they want the baby, they aren't saying anything.

If they come forward, they have to give the baby back to the dad or maybe the other couple so they don't want to.

I also think he is alive somewhere. I read that they think that the first couple who she tried to "give" him to knows more than what they are saying. They also said that there was an email about an underground child protection service on that woman's computer. Also whoever has the baby or knows where he is, that is harboring a fugitive which is a felony and you cannot adopt a child if you have a felony
