Me three. I think child neglect would be my guess.... I think the pattern repeated itself here. I would love to see what the files on MT said.

LE is holding KT accountable for this and they have from the beginning.All of this family holds some responsibility for this child. If SY, AY, and grandma can't work out between them who's care Relisha was in then they should all be locked up. If they do not know her whereabouts then surely there is some charge that can be laid! Produce the child or pay the price. So frustrating that no one is being held accountable for this

And RR was really with the tablet..at her house, imo.I fully believe that MY called about the tablet because she herself couldn't use it as it was broken.
Fix it on someone else's dime.
She seemed more mature than I imagined.

I had never read/seen this article.
Where did the news from the school and social workers come from? I am not seeing actual quotes so it isn't clear where the writer got the information. Did that come from LE? The story went from this to MY spoke to the school and gave them KT's info? I thought I heard MY say recently she did speak to the school about KT and RR being home sick.http://wtvr.com/2014/03/26/amber-alert-fbi-reward-increases-to-70000-for-missing-girl/
From the article SBM -
"In early March, worried teachers had asked Relishas now tearful mother why she had never come back to school. Young insisted Relisha was simply home sick.
What was said to the school by the mother was that this person was a doctor, and that the doctor could verify the child was ill. But it turned out to be Khalil Tatum posing as a physician.
He assured the school that the child had been ill.
Social workers went to the shelter and figured out it was all a lie, and at that point, they panicked."
This is exactly what every single article reported from the beginning and what Chief Lanier explained in the LE timeline.
So, which is it, Shamika? Your current story and this one cannot both be true. I still believe every person involved in this case is a bold-faced liar - and I am being kind.
This is the thing that stands out to me. Shamikas kids all went to the same school. She said she picked up the boys every day for nearly a month and did not see Relisha. She assumed someone else had picked her up already.
When I picked my kids up for school, most of the parents were there a few minutes before the bell rang. Rarely was anyone late to get their child as it was frowned upon and just duh!!!
So she would have had to seen whomever this person was that was picking Relisha up from school. In 3 weeks time she would have run in to Relisha!!!
She never thought to try to find her child or find out who had her? Bull Crap!
Also equally frustrating is that not one person from the school thought to stop and talk to Shamika about Relisha's absences?!?!?!?! What kind of school is this?
I do think the school failed AS WELL as the shelter and Relisha's entire family.
That is why this case hurts me so much! This poor kid had not one person on her side.

I believe the social worker went to the shelter and found KT was only a janitor (when he left early), but I am not sure what to believe about the rest of it. Did MY really have RR because she had been sick?
This case needs a story board. It changes often because we are hearing different things daily and they come from different places. It is bizarre.Seriously, I sent your questions in an email to the writer of the article, Alix Bryan. Hopefully, we will get these answers soon. Every time I think I might have a handle on parts/players of this case, something else is reported that causes my theory to swirl down the drain again. :banghead:
.....so...what if Relisha *was* in Atlanta, but everyone returned without her for "some reason"? She could still be there.
Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, with hubs in Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and California.
You being up an excellent point. I just woke up from a nightmare about Relisha, intermingled with my own little ones. Forgive me if my thoughts are convoluted.
At my girls' school, dismissal times vary by grade. My 5th grader is in class until 2:30pm. My 1st grader is in class until 2:20pm (the same for grades 1-4) and Kindergarten is out at 2:05p. The exception is "early day," one day a week, all grades are out at 1:05pm.
I'm wondering if Payne Elementary has a similar system? If so, there's no way for SY to have made the assumption she spoke of, and NOT seen her daughter (or a teacher, former teacher, or key administrator) in the process of picking up her boys, as she described.
Lastly, I am having a hard time reconciling the lack of receipt of a Report Card since 2013. Maybe things are just different way out West :dunno: but I have to sign that I reviewed and received them for both my girls, every trimester. It is mandated. Failure to do so leads to repercussions (Parent Teacher conference is high up on the list).
Unless there's major signature / documentation forgery going on, dating back to the registration of Relisha into Payne (this keeps going back to MTY in my mind), the only person who has the authority to handle such affairs is SY.
For example, I can add my own Mother to the Emergency Contact card to allow her to pick up my girls from school, but that does NOT allow her the legal authority to receive/sign for their report cards, handle doctor's notes, and address the reporting of excessive unexcused absences.
The only way that could occur is if we had shared joint legal custody.
I hope this makes sense, and if it doesn't, I apologize. I am raying: to God that Relisha is found soon. It is torturous to only see her, fleetingly, in my nightmares, just out of reach.
She has many people on her side, IMV. What hurts so much is that none of us were there when she needed us, because she was so well hidden - underneath a tangled web of apparent multi-generational complacency and alleged deception and deceit. That's about as PC as I can manage at this hour.

kimi, ITA with your points regarding 'normal' parental responsibilities for any school interactions. Sadly, I witnessed a totally broken system in the Baltimore City Schools when I volunteered a couple years ago in a classroom with a teacher - who is a friend. These were 2nd and 3rd grade classes. Some children missed many days of school or came late often. Homework was usually not signed and/or returned to the teacher. Parents did not show up for conferences often. Sometimes grandparents, aunts/uncles showed up instead of a/the parents. The children moved around with relatives often. Phone numbers for the parents were often changed without notice to the school or totally disconnected.
My daughter did not attend public schools, so I was shocked to see the lack of parental involvement/concern for these children. My friend told me that the City Board of Ed was holding school principals responsible for attendance, so there was a reluctance on the part of the office admin. to report chronically absent students, so as not to call attention to problems within the school. Assaults on teachers were treated in a 'down-low' way, as well.
While I thoroughly enjoyed working with them, it was a heart-breaking experience to see so many children hungry for attention, concern and caring from a total stranger - and to see kids coming to school physically hungry and teachers loading up many backpacks on Fridays with food to help them get through the weekend. There are many Relishas (girls and boys) out there. :maddening:
Same here. I gave my son a bad haircut once :blushing: and there was alittle bald spot from the clippers and he woke up the next morning for school telling me his stomach hurt and he felt sick and I knew instantly it was because he was nervous about being made fun of at school.
He was like 'how did you know that Mom?'
I felt so guilty but we lived through it. A Mommy knows her baby!
If MYT is a crackhead or on any other drug and Tatum came to her and offered her cash or drugs, or his connections, I have no doubt she would hand Relisha over in exchange.
I worked with addicts for over a year in a clinic. They have warped minds and they would steal $1 candy from a baby and try to return it to the store for a cash refund. She certainly looks the part. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
