I think there may have been issues with substance abuse, but I don't think a form of "payback" had anything to do with this. If so, the mother would recognize the voice on the other end, or she could of told police "This is what it could be related to." Really, I don't know what mother would do or should of done. I can't imagine being in that situation, but I do believe she regretted leaving him alone that day because JF ended up missing - and on Christmas Eve. I can't say much about DD/SD, I think that is because he isn't under the same roof anymore and the only thing I can peg him on is some substance abuse/dependency problems. They both, to me, appeared to be having some sort of withdrawal reactions in video. Then again, it's impossible to predict how some people grieve - and that could be the result of JF being gone. There might be a connection to those in custody through DD/SD, maybe they were acquaintances? When I looked at a link of the apartments a few threads back I noticed that there is no washer/dryer hook ups in the apartments. I can tell you this, the quickest way to meet and greet your neighbors is in the laundry mat. I have no doubt in my mind that they were at least known to each other - at that is what breaks my heart.
People are vicious, not all, but there are some. I try to play good cop here but don't let that fool you into thinking I don't raise a brow to my neighbors once and a while. 0_O
I don't see any issue with JF living with family members that are able and capable to care and nurture him. In fact, I wish that more family would open their homes to allow this because horrible out comes can take place if not; neglect, emotional support, etc. not just physical abuse. It's the neglect that results because a parent/provider can not give because they don't care about themselves. I firmly believe that doesn't raise a healthy child, and it's hard as he77 to find worth as an adult sometimes. I am not saying that JF was subjected to that, if anything has known support and a loving environment through his aunt.
I just couldn't imagine what this family is going through, and personally (and emotionally), I feel like I am on the same roller coaster I was on when Kyron went missing.
My last rant on this case. I really hope that justice is swift for JF, as his gift, and that the new year will bring the family the resolve to make sense of the madness with the hope that we care for you all here at WS. Very much. I am so sorry this has happened.
These stories never get easier, just sucks.
