Nothing is going 'overboard' when a child is missing. Nothing. Especially when you're talking about a mother who can't even keep her children safe. You don't like that? Too bad. Fact is she didn't even bother to lock the doors/windows to a home with 3 little children in it. I don't care where you live that is absolutely irresponsible parenting. Lisa's mother failed to provide even basic protect for her. Question is - would it have made a difference if the doors were locked? No one knows.

We ALL hope Lisa will be found and that the REAL truth will be revealed. And discussing this case is really no different than discussing any other topic/issue on ATS. Why should Lisa's parents be put on a pedestal? Why should it be off limits to provide information about them and this case, both positive and negative facts?
I wouldn't put them on a pedestal either but a little TLC would be good, considering they'll probably come out of this in a similar state to a soldier who came home from 'nam.
See..there you again with the blame on the mother..who can't keep her child safe..
Yep! You understood completely correctly !
and you seem so proud to be able to judge the parenting of others...
Have you ever had and raised children?
How have you done in keeping what you have been responsible for..safe and out of harms way?
No one can keep anyone or anything else 100% protected. In fact, some of us can do our very best, and, ‘things happen’ anyway. But doing ‘our best’ and being ‘responsible’ does not include leaving loved ones unprotected in their sleep behind unlocked doors.
and you are so sure they left the doors unlocked
I will leave you to your judgements Silo.. but would like you to consider that perhaps if the mother is guilty, that understanding and a little compassion for what may have gone wrong might actually help a lot more to getting to the truth, than all this criticism and judgment of her parenting.
So..if you really do care about finding out what happened to baby Lisa..you might want to keep in mind how your accusations, and absolute lack of compassion..may actually be hindering the truth from being exposed .
But I have to agree with some of these other posters. Speculating about what may have happened is one thing, but to say that the mother is irresponsible if she forgot to lock the door is insane.
I lived in a little town in southern Illinois for many years and we never locked our doors, even at night, Stupid yes, but we were lucky and nothing ever happened.
...It's really interesting that I am seeing all of this news coverage, I used to live across the street from Debbie and Sean (her "ex" and current husband) Bradley at Fort Bragg, NC where he was stationed. (then)
She started a feud with me by trying to sleep with my husband, egging my house and car and calling CPS on me stating that my husband and I had sex in front of our kid...
She was also a raging kleptomaniac. She was proud of the fact that she would call a fast food restaurant out of the blue, claim to have purchased a huge meal, and then say that it was all ruined and she wanted a replacement immediately, she would then drive over, pick up dinner and eat it.
I made friends with several women because we shared the fact that something had been stolen from our house (she broke into my house once and stole about 300 dollars worth of DVDs). She also took lawn ornaments from other neighbors houses and would place them prominently on her property as if she was proud of the fact that she had stolen them.
I hope that this just allows you to see what kind of a person she was even 6-7 years ago; perhaps the type who, being accustomed to using deception to get her way, is doing it again in this case?
KMBC is reporting that a request to the Gov's office has been approved for 25 National Guardsmen
to assist in the search for baby Lisa. This is significant. I think the National Guard has been called out to assist police because:
1. Police do not think she is far away;
2. that she is dead, and they want her found quickly, via much man power, and not lose critical evidence due to the passage of time.
3. and probably have specific areas in which manpower is helpful, such as areas that are tough to search, may need draining, etc.
4. Parents are lawyered up and have a private investigator who, although they shut down and who is not 'investigating' anything, is working this as a public relations case, including announcing that the parents won't be speaking out to local media again.
The local media have been ordered to turn over their video to the Grand Jury. This shows how important and helpful the local media appearances have been to the
investigation and how they may feel an increase of pressure due to the presence of a PR man (Stanton) as well as the parents lawyering up.
Police may be doing a much better job than many think, as it appears that they have been covering everything up to the Grand Jury meeting on Tuesday.
Peter Alexander, a NBC news correspondent has been on twitter sending tweets about the missing Lisa Alexander case since she disappeared on October 7, and about two hours ago, Alexander tweeted that he had just interviewed Baby Lisa's parents, and Lisa's mom said, "I was drunk nite of disappearance."
Alexander also tweeted, "My interview w #BabyLisa's parents to air tomorrow @TodayShow. And, why she won't let her kids be re-intervu'ed by KCPD." If you are curious to see the interview with Baby Lisa's parents and Peter Alexander, you can tune in to the Today Show, tomorrow morning.

I am much, much more concerned about 10 months old Lisa Irwin, who has probably come out of this dead.
Forgive me for not feeling much sympathy for the parents, who now have stopped talking to local media. That is very strange, isn't it? If they really were worried about Lisa and really wanted her to be found and returned safe, they would make sure to use every opportunity to keep this case in focus at as many news channels as possible, wouldn't they? The parents are looking more and more suspicious every day.
