I think this is strange......
On the video, Ross says.......(in part)
".......On this particular day I had to be, um, at an earlier appointment so I had to be there, um, a little bit earlier than usual.
I was running behind, and I pulled in (buh)...ultimately pulled in in the, um, parking lot behind the store, and like we normally do I opened up Hassani's door, um, and Hassani undid his car seat as he always does, and I said Hassani go wait by the back door. (big sigh) I then went and got his sister and walked with her to the front of the store and asked Jennifer to unlock the back door. Um, we do that not to, so we don't cause disruption to their store, me pushing in a stroller with kids and bringing in another infant in the middle of a work day for her. Um, when we got to the back door um Jennifer looked at me and said where's Hassani and I'm like what do you mean where's Hassani? I looked over to his side of the car and he wasn't there. At that point in time, um, I put (undecipherable) in the crib and she was placed in the store and we went looking for Hassani and at that point in time I ran to the car to get my phone to call the police and report a missing child. (off camera it's asked how much time he thought elapsed between getting out of the car and discovering Hassani gone) Um, it's about five minutes a little, probably less than that. (off camera reporter says 'right then, that had to be shocking) It's, I ran there, thinking....it's one of those instances as a parent you kinda take something for granted thinking it can never happen to you.
Hassani does not wander away....."
BBM.....is it me, or does the way he says this, the way he corrects himself, tell you that he's remembering that he did something else he's ommiting before he pulled in behind the store? WTF does 'ultimately' mean if what he did, according to him, was routine?? Or, do I need to lay off the coffee?
The comment he made about 'Hassani does not wander away'...when he said it on the video, just the way he said it, it made my blood run cold. I believe I saw someone who knew Hassani wouldn't wander away because Hassani would be afraid of the consequences if he did. That and I think he's talking in circles, IMO.
This portion is right up in front on the 17 minute video with dear old Dad. Watch it if you haven't and tell me what you think of those portions BBM.
