Update on what is going on with the foster child and her story: It was turned over to law enforcement but according to the caseworker, they really don't know what to do with it. We have a name. Tara. Whether it is truly the child's name or one that my foster child knew her by, I don't know. She does not want to talk about it. I did ask her one time if I could ask her questions about who Tara was (NOT what happened to her). She said yes. I asked. "Is she bigger than E (who is 7)" She said yes. "Is she as big as A (who is 14 and 5.6')" She said. "I think not as big." Was she white like E or brown like K and B (my adopted black sons)" She said more like K and B. I asked if she had straight hair or curly hair. She didn't seem sure of which one. She was sure she had brown eyes.
She has not talked anything about her story for awhile but it came up again this week. She started off this conversation saying this was a movie that gave her bad dreams but as she talked, it was as if she was there. It started with her talking of kidnapping. I asked how do you kidnap someone. She said you just grab them and stick them in you car. Then she said the girl was put in a bag and she suffocated (she used that word. Suffocated). When I asked what they did with her then she said they put her in the back of the car. I asked. "Like the back seat, or back in the back where you put things like suitcases?" She said not in the seat, in the back. Then they put groceries on top of her. She said. "You shouldn't do that should you 'cause then they can't breath?" I agreed that "No, you should never do that to someone." I asked if she was dead. She said she was dead, she said she was cold and she wasn't talking anymore. I asked what they did with her then. She just said she was in the car, that was all she would say. After I stopped the van she unbuckled and leaned between the seats and gave me a hug. "You wouldn't let anyone hurt me, would you?" She asked. I promised her I would not. Now I cannot get the picture of a child's body being placed in the trunk and covered over with groceries to hide it.
Does anyone know if there was such a story line in a movie or crime show? I do not have TV so I wouldn't know. I tried to google it but didn't come up with anything.
