Discussing The Jayme Closs Case With Your Children
What happened to Jayme Closs is rare.
Less than one percent of abductions are from strangers and Jayme’s case is rare even within that one percent. Experts say parents should not downplay what happened to Jayme, but to use it as an important teaching moment.
Jane Straub educates children and parents on abductions. She works with the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center.
“This is one extreme example of a very bad person who did a really bad thing, but look at all the good people who did the right thing in this case,” Straub said. “Jayme was in a situation and she knew it wasn’t OK what was happening to her and she did what she could to get out. And even when she didn’t know that lady walking the dog, she knew that that was a safe adult because that adult wasn’t breaking her safety rules and she knew to go to that adult and get help and that’s what we want kids to know.”
Straub says kids don’t need to know all the details, but this case brings up a huge teaching moment about abductions in general.
Here are some basic tips:
– Tell kids to always check before they go anywhere
– Play and stay with a buddy
– Identify 5 adults you can always go to and talk with and trust
– Trust your gut
– No secrets with adults
– Private areas are private

Hope this link is ok to post. Please delete if not.
There's a lot of detail in that document. The first thing that strikes me is description of bloody footprints and the third shotgun shell. In other words, the whole "five foot" thing was a lie. Or am I interpreting this wrong?Thanks for posting... that’s a brutal read..
Did JTP not admit he’s on computer during the confession...
——————
The defendant stated he learned the names of the two people he shot and killed after seeing their names reported on multiple news programs and social media.
——————
If that’s his statement he’s obviously on social media looking for something... if not simply to read the details and high five himself..probably not his name but fake account or tied to his computer game?

The parents need to tell their kids to treat her like before and not ask probing questions. And to not bully or allow her to be bullied or there will be swift consequences.

I of course totally agree with the no bullying or intrusive question piece, but I wonder where the line is between treating her like before and her feeling like no one cares what she went through. Like it seems like it would be a strange elephant in the room for no one to ever mention it right? Or maybe that’s just me.

Sorry - don’t know exactly how to quote from a previous thread but want to respond to this.

True.How would discussing child abductions with your kids prevent this type of crime. This young idiot basically went to a home in the middle of the night and murdered a teenagers parents.
You can’t prevent that no matter how hard you try.

Gifts, support pour in for Jayme Closs after teen's escape from Jake Thomas Patterson home

She now has 14 storage lockers full of "Pink" gear, and one "Mockingjay" pin.
Never underestimate the generosity of strangers! However, I also hope that family friend "JH" enlists the help of a local charity, and/or Jayme's Church to organize and sort the donations. They really are professionals at this type of work, which is probably more of a task than the friend envisioned. These donation centers are also trained on the security necessary to receive and open anonymous packages. Unfortunately, not everything arriving her postal box will be sent with good intentions. MOOI hope they put a message out soon asking for the gifts to stop. Honestly, this is probably just another burden for her. Jayme wanted to help the poor. She’s likely just going to give it all away anyway. Hopefully she can do so guilt-free.
The apparent lack of follow up on the car, is the most concerning aspect to me.So in digging into this criminal complaint...
I'll reiterate my praise for the Douglas County deputies. Perfect. I didn't know that the deputy who whisked Jayme away was a woman officer. Even better!
On the other hand, I'm a bit perplexed by the amount of evidence that existed all along. The responding deputy in Barron described that Taurus in great detail. Bloody shoe prints. Shotgun shells. Yet the FBI and DCI and Barron combined couldn't come up with anything at all? *scratching head*
That car is what bothers me the most. It was 20 seconds from the scene, and was the only vehicle that was passed on the highway by the deputy. To me, that car should have had the major focus in this, and WHY was it not the Amber Alert car?The apparent lack of follow up on the car, is the most concerning aspect to me.
That was literally the only link to the killer.
Shotgun shells probably aren’t going to provide a link, especially if they are common.
Same with bloody shoe prints.
The shells and prints will help you build a case once you’ve identified a suspect (matching ones found in his possession), but they won’t point you in his direction.
The only viable way to find this guy, based on the limited evidence they had, was to track down owners of that particular vehicle.
That may or may not have proven fruitful.
I agree. I could absolutely let this go if they didn’t get a good look at it. That would be understandable.That car is what bothers me the most. It was 20 seconds from the scene, and was the only vehicle that was passed on the highway by the deputy. To me, that car should have had the major focus in this, and WHY was it not the Amber Alert car?

No license plate number. Not sure of year and thought it was a Ford. Color maroon, but wasn't it red?That car is what bothers me the most.
