| All speculation at this time of course but I wonder if there is any relationship between alleged perp and victim. |

of lot of people use baby and toddler interchangeably. That said, it was a 2 yr old. |

One article I read suggested the woman may have been mentally ill or on drugs.
Terrifying. |

| That is horrifying. I rode the metro from clarendon to the museums with my 2yo at that same time several times a week for the last year. |

| I don't know. How do we know that the kidnapper wouldn't have made a great parent? maybe better than the birth mother? |

We know because she tried to snatch someone else's child. That automatically lowers her rating as a parent. |

I hope that 99% of people would help if they saw this happening. |
