Two days ago an 8 year old girl was kidnapped on my street; maybe 8 houses up from mine. She's home now, I'm not sure if she made it home that night or not; I knew she'd run away, but I didn't find out till this morning that she'd been knocked out and abducted. I know I should always be vigilant but my days of lazy parenting have got to end. Nearly every day Suz plays in in our big quiet yard by herself while I'm reading or cleaning the house. I check on her, probably every three minutes, but that's obviously not enough; this girl was taken in seconds.

Oh, my gosh, that is so scary. A month ago a nearby child care place "lost" a very young child. How does one do that???? Anyway, the child turned up a few hours later, thank heavens!
There is nothing that puts fear into a mother's heart more than a missing child.
I'm so glad the little girl in your neighborhood has been returned. I hope she is ok.
It's hard being a mother, isn't it? There is simply no way to watch children 24/7 especially when they start to get older. So, so, so scary.....
