There is no evidence whatsoever of abuse in that home. They both got custody of children from former relationships. There are no records that I have seen where CPS was called to the home. There have been no witnesses coming forward to say the children were abused. Lisa looks like a happy and well loved baby in all the pictures and videos I've seen. There is nothing to suggest they're drug addicts or have a checkered past with LE.
Yes, mom allegedly got drunk. If true, it was totally stupid, irresponsible and I'm sure if Lisa was truly abducted, she will have to live with that guilt for the rest of her life and she may also risk losing custody of her other child because of it.
Some people think she made up the black out. It seems people will judge and accuse her regardless of whether she's telling the truth or not.
Black out = bad mom
No black out = defense strategy
Right now, she is innocent. She is a victim and should be treated as such, imo.
What if the cops are wrong? Hailey Dunn's family were put through the wringer but guess what? Months later her case is listed as a "kidnapping". Check this out. The media is reporting FBI mis classified it as a kidnapping BUT the FBI site shows it as a kidnapping.

I think I'll wait for real evidence in this case that the parents are involved. Lisa deserves that much.
ITA with everything you posted but the BBM struck me, Stupid and irresponsible? Well yes but I'm so glad I'm not the parent of young children these days because frankly I know could NEVER reach the impossibly high bar that has been set for parenting these days, anything short of perfection and people are talking about taking the kids away from you. It's bitterly ironic considering the number of households where, after numerous REPEATED visits and interventions by CPS and other agencies with solid evidence of horrendous neglect, cruelty and abuse, the kids are still left there until they wind up in hospital or dead.
I dunno about this case but I do know I need far more than what we have so far before I decide DB should lose her remaining child too.
