A body of a young child has been found in a drain near where the child went missing,
Police have not yet confirmed its that of this missing toddler, But sadly more than likely it will be,
I will update when there's more,
Yeah kind of a shock however not surprised (if that makes sense) when they announced it during the Monday night movie on 3 last night but it was
expected, I mean a toddler just cant survive on their own for a week, not in the weather we've been having around the country.
I personally cant quite understand why they went so far into the asian woman report (guess it was the only lead, what other option was there), since
they where making it out the person would have taken the kid home or something similar after finding her... thing is to me, there was no way to know
what a person would do in that situation, especially if the kids not talkative or forth coming with answers to questions.
Would you take a kid back to your house if there is a chance shes just outside her own? sure it was at night, but im sure alot of people would shrug
and say im sure shes outside her own place, best I dont accuse the parents of anything. Being asian and how often they can be a little insular in the
communities that would also compound the problem somewhat.
Problem is with the ardent following of the asian woman report and now finding the possible body, all sorts of bad rumor and questions will be
asked... justified, maybe, but I dont see much community good coming from this result, people being people after all.
At least the parents have closure however... not knowing a loved ones fate is 100% more worse than finding them deceased in my opinion. I personally
believe the kid, like all kids would tend to do, would look for a place to hunker down from the cold night and probably went into a run off pipe, the
cold and the weather would have done the rest.
Sad but at least its over.
