Okay did the school call once then mom didn't get it for hours, or the school was calling for hours because a friend said they knew specifically she was walking that day? If it's the first scenario it's an understandable accident to miss one call. If second they should've called another emergency contact. -
You should put your self proclaimed expert skills into finding the killer. That would be a more positive way to use your energy. Not bashing her grieving mother. I can't read one more ignorant word that you post. I'm out...

If she asked me. I would. Not in those words but yes. She has responsibility in this. She chose not to answer her phone for the first crucial hours her daughter was missing.

Only hindsight is 20/20. I highly doubt you would say that to her mother's face. People who have negative comments about a mother who just had her daughter kidnapped, murdered, and mutilated really make me ill.

This mom could have. She chose not to take the few minutes it would have taken at the end of her day. Then didn't answer the phone for hours. If she had only answered her phone they may have been able to find this little girl alive.

like i said iam wondering why the schoolonly had the mother as an emergency contact and no one else like maybe the dad?

Maybe not immediately. However there is no excuse for her not answering for HOURS.
Quoting mollysmom212:
iam paranoid about always having a phone with me and being able to answer ...maybe she slept through it because she really was that tired ..surely it wasn`t not caring...also in all honesty when iam out like at walmart my cell sometimes has no signal...so in all fairness i don`t think one can always be able to answer immediately

I am well alware of that. And I also work nights so I know all about sleeping during the day. That said, when my kids aren't home I still answer my damn phone. It's called being responsible. There is no excuse for her not answering. I live that life, I know it's hard, but that is not an excuse.

The dad lives out of state. That may be why they didn't call him. The EC...lord only knows. For the schools sake I hope they didn't drop the ball on that.

My son is 9 and he walks to school. He walks with a large group of about seven kids and half way down about four more kids join them. I can see the school from the end my driveway. I would never let him walk alone.All the parents on the street watch the kids from their drives walk over to the school so I feel pretty safe letting him walk with so many kids together and eyes watching.

I don't blame the mom at all. I work night shift and have slept through the phone ringing many times. My kids' schools do have other phone numbers, though. They have my husband's and my mom's. I am so very sorry for this family's loss. : (

I was walking to school alone at 9!
As devastating as this is, people can not put the blame on the mother! Not every parent can hold their child's hand and walk them to and from school/bus stop every day. And certainly not forever!
I truly doubt her mom let her walk alone and slept through a phone call in hopes that her child would be abducted and dismembered. People are sick. -
Oh I know the artical I posted on the last page has not been updated yet
I live close to where she lived like an hour away
So me and my friends have all been fallowing the store very closely

They announced it at a press conference earlier this evening. ;-(

Funny...nobody knows what the killer looks like or what kind of vehicle because the mother was irresponsible. Hence the little girl being alone and no witnesses.

Even before this all happened my dh and I decided that our kids wont take the bus or walk. We will accommodate our schedules to drive them to and from school. (We only have a 2 1/2 yo and one on the way so were not at school age yet)
