The neighbor mentioned she did not even know they had a baby living there. That is scary. In my experience people notice babies. They are cute and cuddly and most often mothers are happily showing them off......so this fact scares me. I am also so angry over the version of the story that states the bf left and when he came back the baby was not with him, so the mother went to the babies fathers......WTH......who notices their baby is missing and does not instantly dial 911......This is happening so often now that it has become very scary.....

I agree, Still_Seek_Answers. I can't remember a day this summer that I haven't watched my morning or evening news or have come to this forum only to hear/see/read about yet another child missing while in the care of one or both of their parents.
It's heartbreaking and yet makes my blood boil at the same time.
Almost as if it's an epidemic.
I remember being a young, new, separated mom....both me and my son lived with my parents.
Both my parents worked. It was just me and my son all day long.
Yes, there were several times I remember crying right along with my son because I didn't know what to do to calm him after he had been crying for what seemed like hours.
Twice I remember, when I couldn't calm my son, I made sure my son's diaper was dry, he had been fed, burped and didn't have a diaper pin (showing my age here) sticking out somewhere then put him in his crib (no blankets or bumpers) closed the door and walked out to the back yard.
New Moms, please do the same..... make sure your baby is fine, is safe, then walk outside and cool off. Get your bearings, calm yourself down, realize your baby's cry is the only way he/she knows how to communicate.
Your baby is not doing this to get back at you, to purposely make you angry or to ruin your sleep.
And FFS, you do NOT need a new boyfriend when you have a new baby......who the F has the time for a new boyfriend with all the time it takes to bond and adjust to a new baby??? !!! SMH
