Gates said nearly all of the students at the school have been interviewed, as well as the majority of the faculty and staff. He said that investigators "have no reason to believe this is anything but an isolated case," and that area families need not take extra precautions with their children.
I know this doesn't help find him, but I find this guy's statement ridiculous. You can bet I would definitely take extra precautions with my child if I lived here. They don't know what happened yet. jmo Rant over.
Here's a pretty informative article about school absence procedures. What it tells me is that even if Skyline had used the automated reporting to parents, they still might not have been notified until it was too late.
There HAS to be a reason that Kyron's teacher wasn't concerned about his absence. She knew that he had been in class. Probably on any other day, say, if they had gone to lunch and then returned and he was not there, she would have been alarmed.
But why, on this day, was she not alarmed about him not being at his desk? That's part of the answer to this perplexing mystery, I think.

Maybe the Mom's husband had an enemy, considering he is a Police Officer. I just think Kyron was targeted for some reason and there was such a small window of opportunity.
Since we really have no clue what profilers and LE think may have happened (was it a kidnapping for ransom, blackmail, a personal vendetta against the family, for example) I think that there is the possibility that either stepmother or LE posted the gym comment to flush out or bait the perp.
Quote from the newspaper article.
Shelby said that Porter saw Kyron in her classroom with his stepmom before 8:45 a.m. and another instructor reported seeing him in another classroom at some point.
Another intructor?saw him in another class at some point?What class was he seen in?
bbm - i agree, pufnstuf, i am not putting blame on the teacher exactly, but i do wonder why she didnt become alarmed when Kyron's jacket and pack were there but he was not? most teachers i know would not just "assume" anything under those conditions. i just got here today tho and i havent read to the end yet so i hope there is some news since this morning. i pray this little boy comes home safe and sound, but i fear that wont be the case
Do you have a link to the newspaper article?
It seems like either Kyron was targeted or lost, seeing its an isolated case.
Very small window. I want LE to say more, but for obvious reasons I don't/
I have been inside all three of my children's elementary school classrooms over past 15 years and I don't find it odd at all the teacher wouldn't be alarmed by a backpack or coat left in a cubby, or on a chair, or on the floor, or on a desk, or really just about anywhere. It can be chaotic even on normal days, and even when procedures for daily grind are in place. The cubby area can get cluttered and messy depending on the rigidness of the teacher and the diligence of the students. I am sure that it is likely that many times a student may leave a backpack or coat at school. I am positive that my daughter's extra sneakers are in her classroom somewhere right now, and she always has an extra sweater or sweatshirt on her hook.
I personally don't think it would set off any alarms for me.
