I think any child would let their stranger-danger lessons go out the window inside a school and I am sure we all stress following the rules and listening to your teachers. I think most of us will agree there are a lot of red-flags to Terri, but IF we forget all of that, the school was open that kids were milling around freely (some with parents, some maybe not) since 8:00 am, the buses came with more kids. Why Kyron & not another child...that may have been on-his-own.
According to Terri seconds before Kyron reached his room as she waved goodbye, that a stranger chose Kyron when everyone parents, children who would have noticed someone grabbing him...choose that moment & Kyron as TH could have turned around & forgot something to ask him? By TH's own words, feet from his classroom...it doesn't make sense to me, even if he were to be complaint to a stranger. And then there are all those pesky red flags that continue to accumulate.

TY for this post Dee.
I've followed this case from the beginning, and have read how TH waved good-bye to Kyron in the hallway @ 8:45 a.m. Sometimes it's helpful to read certain facts again, even though I've read them before. I also appreciate the manner in which you've expressed your thoughts - you have invited discussion.
According to TH's own statements, Kyron was just down the hall from his classroom as she waved to him when the bell rang at 8:45 a.m.
If someone had been lurking in the hallway, waiting to snatch an unsupervised child, why did TH not notice this person? Was the hallway so crowded with people that Kyron was lost in the throng?
If the hallway was bustling with chaos, then I would think TH would have escorted Ky all the way to his classroom to ensure that he made it there okay (as caring, concerned parents do when there is a chaotic situation - I know I did when my girls were little. Not because I was afraid that harm might befall them, but just because I didn't want them to become confused or overwhelmed or scared. Kyron was, after all, only in 2nd grade).
On the other hand, if the hallway was quiet and isolated, how is it that Kyron mysteriously disappeared the minute that TH's back was turned?
These are the questions I personally need answers to:
Was the hallway "'chaotic" & crowded?
Was the hallway more or less deserted?
If the hallway was "chaotic" & crowded, why did TH not escort Ky to his classroom (especially since he was only a 7 year old 2nd grader, and especially since he was possibly recently experiencing, according to TH, undiagnosed alleged "mini seizures")?
On the other hand, if the hallway leading to his classroom was more or less deserted, how is it that Ky was supposedly "snatched" by a stranger (or someone other than TH) - and how is it that this "other person" was unseen by TH before she "waved good-bye"?
These are the questions I have.
Again, TY Dee, for inspiring & sparking the questions.
