I so appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this to us. This is just so helpful in ways I can't explain.Whew. A lot but here goes!
The gangs/affiliations we have NEVER bring children into it. Not even in a case of a shooting at someones house where their children were present. If anything, these gangs are more boots on the ground & ears in the streets to HELP. The Mexican community is extremely to themselves. Its a lot of farm land here so we do have a lot of laborers but they truly keep within themselves.
The ICE questioning hasn't really been explained but chatter on social media is saying it was just a questioning stemming from the situation. They are just acting as another agency of LE. To my understanding.
I do not think it is a situation where the "elders" necessarily can put the shake down on the community. Religion is extremely important to all of the Hispanic communities (we have Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans in large quantities, all with their own churches) but I do not think this will have a "confession" type breakthrough.
Social media and personal LO chatter has been extremely critical. The community was furious at how long it took for an actual amber alert to be activated, not understanding the kind of odd way details were coming from the mother.
...We know when something isn't adding up. And going from no description to an entire BOLO hasn't generated any information. Which, well you can take how you want as to not victim blame.
The streets are completely silent, in the sense that nothing has been found supporting her narrative. LE has something close to the belt that has them less concerned with the family making public pleas. After the disaster that was that poor little boy from Millville, they've learned the signs of things just not connecting.
Like I said, everyone knows everyone's moves. There's only about 3 degrees of separation between individuals in this area.
I haven't personally seen any corroboration of a Red Van being spotted in that part of town at all besides what the mom and brother are saying.
I just don't know how to truly convey the closeness of all of us in the area. Which makes it so so difficult to think that all of this happened and literally NO bystander saw anything there or anywhere else.
I am reading between the lines and appreciate the honesty that you are able to give us, without breaking the rules here.
