[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PPs who are blaming the mom are seriously disgusting me right now. Callous, uncalled for, and placing blame in the wrong hands. The risk of abduction is remarkably low, the lowest it’s ever been in history. Yes it happens, and lightning can also strike your child. I just can’t believe that when this is clearly a case where the child is taken by a stranger and meant to be harmed in a horrible way, the focus is on the “neglect” of the mother who dared to take her children to the playground while helping her niece with her homework in her car.

First she wasn't watching her young children or she would have noticed a man luring her 5 year old into a van.  Then she waited an HOUR to call the police - WTH??  [/quote]

Ok I am PP and reading these responses and I finally get it. I was trying to figure out why the media coverage was so inconsistent and inaccurate and why so many people are just like - well it was the mom’s fault her child got abducted.  [b]It’s because the child was an “other” and the mom was an “other”. If she were a blue eyed blond little girl, there would be a well-controlled media message to GET THIS GIRL FOUND AND HOME AND SAFE, thoughts and prayers for the family, protectiveness for the family, and focus on finding her instead of placing blame on the mother[/b].[/quote]

Nailed it. [/quote]

Bingo. It's an other, so the mother did something wrong.

Oh bull.  If some bleach blond high society mom sent her young children off to play while she stayed in the car and then waited AN HOUR to call 911 - she would be judged very harshly.

If anything this young 19 year old mother is being given a pass because she is so young and had so much on her plate.  What she did was pretty stupid but she's also little more than a kid herself and kids sometimes do stupid, careless things.[/quote]

Hear me out: you turn around at the playground, lose sight of your kids.  Kid says mom, I can’t find sibling. You don’t IMMEDIATELY call 911. You assume kid is around there somewhere and look like heck. It’s a big park, she probably thought she would be able to find her. An abduction isn’t your first thought, it’s that she’s lost or hiding somewhere. By the time you realize oh sh*t we really can’t find her and she’s not here, a good amount of time could have passed. Let’s not forget too she’s Hispanic and for brown people in this political climate, calling the police is not an easy or safe proposition. She probably waited until she absolutely knew she had to resort to that to do so. [/quote]
