RSBM for focus
Yes, good point - dehydration and fever (from infection) can cause disorientation/delusion.
For what it's worth, despite the custody issues and prior CPS involvement, I think that things will probably shake out at the end of the day that this was indeed a case where a child wandered off.
It is a miracle this baby is alive.
Agree with all your points.
One of my children hallucinated every time she has a fever. She doesn't even have to be overly sick to do it. It doesn't even have to be a high fever. She shrieks about everything, tells me there are people in the house, and just generally acts terrified (which terrifies me). Ever when she isn't speaking you can tell she is hallucinating. Her eyes go MASSIVE, she looks past you not as you, cries, grunts, yelps, swats at things, runs away, tries to leave the house, breathes heavy, shakes, etc. Thankfully none of my other children do it and my daughter is older now and rarely gets sick.
