kinda makes you wonder what the boyfriends story was gonna be. I find it odd that he made haste to leave before being interviewed, but then, maybe he figured he didn't need to be as he (according to mom) wasn't present at the hosue that day (hence her having to call him to come give her a reide to the hospital).
2 year old girls do not say "mom I have a headach" and 2 year olds have barely gotten ahold of their bowels, accidents are common. Was that what she was supposed to "think about" in her room, in all her two year old wisdom?!
And herding is right, loss of bowel control can be a late indicator of a head injury.
