. Just getting caught up on news and here... wow. This is movie material!
Something I dont know what, really needs to happen about all these children being killed by their parents. Not that we know that is what happened its just my outraged opinion.
Has anyone posted mom's FB page yet? This mom did *not* hurt this child. She was into organic feeding, church, and a million photos of her daughter (looks like the page wasn't updated for 2 years). IMO
There *are* a bunch of photos of Sky on his FB missing page.
The dad is incredibly good looking and charismatic, I'm almost certain she hid Sky from him and that he is determined to turn everyone against her. Why didn't she hide their daughter? Likely his threats were against Sky (the boy). IMO
and FWIW, I also think he manipulated (whether verbally or otherwise, I'd love to view the Target tape) her into leaving Sky in the vehicle. IMO
I will be incredibly shocked if I'm wrong on this.
The only other scenario I see here is a set up by dad. IMO

Dillysmom, I know there is more information out now than there was when you posted the above post, so please understand that I am not picking on you personally.
I would like to say that I believe this post to be a very good example of projection though.
You presume, with what we must assume to be no more information than any of us has either, that this mother couldn't possibly have harmed Sky because she was into organic food and went to church, etc.
This is much like law students thinking Ted Bundy couldn't kill because he went to law school, or church members believing Dennis Rader couldn't kill because he was president of his church, or salesmen thinking Scott Pederson couldn't kill because he was such a charming salesperson, or all Catholic priests thinking NO Catholic priest could sexually abuse. It is an egocentric way of thinking: "If they are like ME, they couldn't POSSIBLY be anything but wonderful". And then when it is PROVEN they did wrong.....well, they must have good justification for their bad deeds.
Jumping to premature conclusions endangers people. I'm dedicated to bringing this to light partly because I believe Tammi Smith so strongly IDENTIFIED with Elizabeth Johnson's situation as being like her OWN past that she helped cause Gabriel's demise. She became intertwined in Elizabeth's sick thinking. This could have happened in our own family during our year of coping with serious mental illness.
Things are OFTEN not what they appear to be on the surface. Jumping to early judgements without much information tells more about US than it does about the situation.
I just want the killing of children to stop. I want adequate help for the truly mentally ill, I want others to stop enabling the ill person's behavioral problems, and I want children to have EFFECTIVE protection when they need it.
And lastly, I want Sky to be found safe and alive.
