I was just at a school event for my son last night. There was probably at least 400 people if not more. I honestly couldn't tell you who I saw or didn't see for the most part. There are few exceptions like people I talked to but in another week, I probably couldn't remember them unless someone reminded me. Last night I couldn't help but think about Kyron and the science fair and how difficult it would be to reconstruct who was there and who wasn't and if I would have noticed a child being taken away and thought it was out of place. It really was a zoo and I imagine most school events are like this. After last night I do believe that Kyron may have been taken by someone that had an opportunity and went for it. We all keep saying how hard it would be but really, whenever someone is abducted it seems unlikely that they could be taken from that place so easily but it happens and unfortunately, it happens all the time that a child or even an adult just vanishes and unless we find out what happened that is how it appears. I am still on the fence about TH and wouldn't be shocked if she did it but I am even more convinced that it is very likely someone besides her had the means and opportunity and went with it.
You make a good point about how the usual school event is a madhouse. I go to events at the schools of kids in my extended family, and it always seems there's a lot of kids rushing around. They're always so excited. Sometimes I see groups of kids with an adult I don't know, and assume that is a teacher or parent/volunteer. Sometimes I see adults with kids I don't know--and I think "well, I don't have kids going to school here, so I wouldn't expect to know most of the kids."
Would I be alarmed if I saw an adult leading one kid or two kids away, and they appeared to be heading away from the bigger groups ... like seemingly headed for the parking lot? I don't know. What comes to me is that I'd put a lot of stock in how the kid or kids were acting. If they're talking to the adult, if they appear to be going along willingly, I likely wouldn't think a thing of it.
I'm really confused by the email. If I'm a grandmother, friend of the family, aunt--I'm not likely to know who the heck I saw or didn't see. My response to the email would be "I saw a whole bunch of people. Who were they? Couldn't tell ya!" And yet I think LE had some very specific reason or reasons for doing this. I can't help feeling that there's a core group of insiders that LE is aiming this at--either looking for witnesses who were very active in school events and knew almost everyone ... or questions have been raised about someone who fits that same description.
When I worked in a big corporation with big departments, my department head used "blanketing" as one of her key strategies. Let's say someone had been going overboard using company time for personal calls. The department head would send out a blanket warning: "This is a reminder that private calls are only to be placed during breaks and lunch periods. If an emergency requires you to make a personal call when you should be working, please limit the call to less than five minutes." The warning might be aimed at just one or two people--but everyone received it. I wonder whether LE in this case is using blanketing in the same way.
