How convenient that the child who would have been a more reliable witness (the 9 year old sibling) was in the car instead of playing with the other kids.
The mom is only 19. She didn't have a kid at 10. The 9 year old is her sibling's kid.
And they have detained the mom's boyfriend, an illegal immigrant from Mexico. But he's being held by ICE, not local police, so he apparently didn't do it and is just being deported.
I'm not saying the guy did it but how do you know that he didn't do it? He's being detained by ICE after the police said that any witnesses to this should come forward whether they are in the country illegally or not - All they want to do is find Dulce.
And then they go ahead and detain the boyfriend for deportation anyway???

My point is, parents take their eyes off their kids and it is almost always okay. This time it wasn’t for this little one and my heart breaks for them.
The difference is that you were right there with your daughter and you did locate her within 15 minutes. I agree that sort of thing does happen. It happened to me once and the time I spent looking for my son was maybe 5 minutes - it felt like an eternity. The panic was building when I suddenly saw him thank God.
Dulce may have been gone for 10 or 15 minutes before her mother even started to look for her and by the time she actually called the cops her daughter had been gone for an hour or more.
I'm not going to beat that 19 year old mother up. She used some very poor judgement but she is not responsible for a stranger abducting her child.
The difference is that PP's daughter was there to be located. I'm not saying the 19 year old was exercising the best possible judgment but it's not so terrible as to be neglect, either. Not like she dropped the kid off and went to smoke dope for a few hours and then came back. (Actually I think her leaving a 3 year old on the playground is worse.)
Anyone who says they have never taken their eyes off their children either is lying or has only one child and is neurotic to boot. I have a five year old who has walked away from me while I'm paying for his shoes at a counter. Am I supposed to have a 5 year old on a leash? Yeah, I punished him afterward, but the point is he walked away of his own volition while I was engaged in procuring things he needs for his daily life. Or if I take him and his 3 year old sister to the playground, and I'm pushing the 3 year old on the swing, it would be easy for him to slip off. Kids do stuff. I know I did as a kid. Heck, I used to cut chapel as a 13 year old (religious school, chapel 3 days a week) and go for a walk off campus, and slip back in when I knew chapel was ending. It never occurred to me that anything could happen to me from a safety perspective and if it had, no one would even have known I'd been off campus.
All you can do is try to train your kids not to do this and pray that nothing bad happens to them on the inevitable occasions when they disobey.

Something is seriously fishy here.
Agreed. I think the mom was at that park doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing. I don't know what it was but there is more to this story.
Do you have links to the local NJ reports?

You were neglectful and I hope you learned your lesson. I feel terrible for this poor little girl Dulce , who was born into such an unfortunate situation.
NP. You are SUCH an asshole.
