I hope this Oprah airing brings some additional information. That would be wonderful.
Oveall, Debs, I think that your bringing forward of how the parents might feel, and subsequent discussions, is a good thing. Because, well, we all know that the "what if" type of thing can eat us alive.
I'd like to see Dr. Phil, who's previously done a show on abductions from schools, also host KH & DY. I'm certain he would have empathetic, caring insight about dealing with such tragedies that could help many families.
ThoughtFox, I'm confused about something. You said, in an earlier post "If she is innocent, then why didn't she make sure Kyron was safely back in class? "
I thought that the children weren't going directly to class, but were organized in groups to go look at the science fair? Am I mistaken?
And, I also have a concern about all the parents who didn't make sure their children were "safely back in class"--the parents of those who ride the buses. I rode buses for many, many years, until my senior year when I could finally drive my car (a hand-me-down little Nash Rambler, and yes the horn went beep! beep! beep!) and all of us who rode buses didn't expect to have our parents at the other end, no matter what the activity, to walk us into the classroom.
I just hate to see an entire group of parents, who weren't there to walk their kids into class, called into question. I don't think that any of the parents in my young days, including my own, loved us any the less or failed because we rode the buses--as so many Skyline children do--and didn't have parents walking us into class. JMO, of course.
It's so hard to raise and nuture children. And going along with the school's plans, and allowing your children to walk into class without you, until they sit down or something, doesn't signal anything negative or about bad parenting to me.
I really an looking forward to seeing how Oprah handles this complex situation. And most of all, maybe, just maybe, more publicity will help find Kyron.
