My oldest will be 5 in May, and I always check on her in the night about that time when I get up to use the bathroom or if I just wake up for some reason..(sometimes my 1 yo wakes me up). Sometimes, she's up as well to go potty. It's just a parent's/adult's instinct to check on a child this age in the middle of the night if you awaken, nothing hinky IMO.
I too thought of Jessica Lunsford. I am really worried about this child....and this is the stage where TIME matters SO much, I wish I could go down there and help find her myself. What haunts me to this day is that Jessica Lunsford was alive for so long, when usually, it happens quick so........until you find the kid you just don't know what to prepare for.
I don't understand why people leave doors unlocked in this day and age!! Also my daughter who'll turn 5, we had to put safety locks on our doors since she was 3 to prevent her from wandering out (or actively running out on purpose to go play!)-- I always hated it because it makes me worry about fire safety but my kids are never far out of my reach.
I am praying for this angel's safe return. The "in the middle of the night" thing and unlocled door bothers me a lot, but these days, it only takes a second for something to happen. There are predators out there who target kids :furious: or take advantage of it if they happen to catch a kid at the wrong moment, it's why I stress to my daughter she must stay RIGHT with me when we go shopping, I must have her in my sight at all times.
Praying for Haleigh. Soooooooooo much. Please please, let this child be found alive and safe. Please let her just have wandered out, gotten lost,......I know this is so unlikely....but please.....
