I think it's safe to assume that it was since sometime when Kyron was under 2 years old. I think Kaine is right. Knowing exactly when isn't going to help find Kyron.
I don't disagree. Entirely.
OTOH, I don't think it's unimportant for understanding blended family history/dynamic.
And it's curious how evasive/defensive this family is with regard to Kyron's early custody situations, timing, needs and choices. Clearly they don't want to talk about that in detail. I sense the medical explanation is not the full explanation. Kaine says it's irrelevant. Okay then.
Never-the-less, it would seem this family would be able to relay simple consistent facts such as Jan of *advertiser censored* Kaine began taking full-time care of Kyron. On *advertiser censored* date, we agreed Kaine would have formal custody. July of *advertiser censored* Terri became full-time caregiver for Kyron. Particularly since the first information as to Kyron’s infant care, and Terri’s participation in it hit national media, came from Terri’s family, and apparently, was complete mis-information. One would think Kyron’s family would be interested in correcting it. How hard is that? Apparently, very hard.
IMO, the infancy caregiving information goes to bonding. Three days (an almost seamless caregiver transistion) is completely different than 2 years. But, Kaine seems to have been in Kyron’s life from the get-go, and sometime in Kyron’s second year of life gradually transitioned to primary caregiver. Question: Up until 2 years, who helped Kaine out with primary caregiving when he had to work?
The timing of Terri's full-time Kyron caregiver role appears to align with her DUI. (in 2005 - Kyron would be 2) Was she teaching then? I think, once convicted of DUI, there is a probation period where no driving is allowed. Can a DUI affect a new teacher’s employment status? Did the DUI play in the decision for Terri to stop teaching and care for Kyron? Did Kaine know about the DUI, but knew Terri well enough to be able to overlook and understand it as an anomaly and not a problem for his caregiving needs?
Okay, I admit, as Kaine says, I don’t need to know this stuff. LE knows it, surely. My shameless curious person, thinks the push back on answers to these simple “blended family timing questions” is … well … curiouser and curiouser.
My guess: Kaine knew Terri had just had this problem - the DUI/endangering child thing with her 7 year old son in the car. But Kaine believed Terri was a “good person” who cared about kids very much. Was Terri’s problem(s) a secret kept from Kyron’s mother? As Desiree has indicated – she knew nothing about Terri when Kyron was born, and no they were never friends when Kyron was an infant.
So, again, I don’t disagree. Entirely. But the protesting too much over relatively simple questions about the timing of Kyron’s childhood caregiving makes me curiouser and curiouser.
