Brainstorming - please do NOT read completely if you might find something disturbing - be forewarned:
SD goes to the house and checks on the kid because mom's at work. Woman and man figure out where the new apartment is. Woman goes to it, because a kid is a lot less likely to sense 'stranger-danger' from a woman than a huge man. Perhaps she tells him something to get him to let her in. Maybe she tells him to call her mom for some reason (so that mom knows what's going down - part of the threat being carried out). She calls back, which is why the woman answers - she's not afraid really of mom knowing who she is and that she's there because this is a threat being completed.
That could technically be why:
a) mom seems tweaky.
b) mom seems to be covering things up - things more important than a lack of babysitter.
c) mom is trying to protect her own life; these people mean business. (or maybe she thinks they could still be holding her son, and might kill him if she squeals)
d) body is burned - to cover for the perps, but make something so horrible that the mom/sd KNOW not to 'disrespect' (can't find a better word) the perps again.
e) mom can't keep her stories straight
f) SD is trying to throw people off track.
Maybe clothes picked up at a NE home are clothes taken from the boy (to keep him from being identified) before his body was burned.
Again, this is just brainstorming based on what seem to be the most concrete facts we have so far, and some observations about the parents that may be right - or may be completely out-of-this-world wrong. Throwing things to see what sticks. That is all. But I still feel that drugs are part of this, even if passively on the part of the mom. She has herself a world of mess on her hands. I really do hope in my heart that she's completely innocent of active involvement.
