You were asking about what did we think about the 2 or 3 year old boy who was abducted just about 2 or 3 miles from where Brooke was abducted. I personally don't think they are connected. Just my opinion of course. The whole story of the little boy is secretive and kind of fishy. I think it may have been some older kids or teenagers who watched too much TV. If one can trust the newspaper, the boy was found by a woman early hours of the morning after he was taken. Did the woman call the police? No, she put the boy in her car and had him tell her the way to where he lived. I don't know very many 2 to 3 year old kids who could spend a night taken away from their parents and still have duct tape residue on them, and be able to show someone where they live when it was around and down and then another jog in the streets several blocks away. I don't buy it. I think the woman who found the boy may know more than they are letting on, or may even be involved.
I got a bit of a shocker when I read the article in the Corvallis Gazette-Times about the boy. You know how sometimes they take a picture of whatever is handy just to have a photograph. Well the newpaper picture about the boy showed MY old neighbor and MY old apartment group mailbox! Seems I lived next door to where this occured. The elderly woman ex-neighbor of mine said it was a good neighborhood. I think she is very naive. The apartment complex next to mine, the one the boy lived in, was worse than mine, and seemed to be run by slum-lords. There were racial problems, heavy drinking, theft, drugs like meth, assaults, managers who were afraid of their tenants so let them get away with stuff, parole & probation violations, atleast one parent threatening to kill her child. This I know from personal knowledge, not the newspapers. Of course there were decent people too. Doors were kicked in by police on several occasions on the not so decent people. One time that I witnessed they gave the person 45 minutes of repeated warnings that they were coming in. One of the officers said, "I mean it!" Sure! Plenty of time to dispose of drugs, comb your hair and put some ice on bruises, and make everything look calmer. I think if you warn someone 3 times that they have 5 minutes to come out or you are breaking down the door, that you should stick to your word and not coddle the people. Especially when there is young boy inside. Service to Children & Family told me that verbal abuse isn't considered abuse, and that the person probably didn't mean they were going to kill their child. Arrrrrrgh. Then they keep saying get involved, report abuse. Yeah right! I'll get off my soapbox now. :banghead: :furious:
