I have to agree. FIVE times in ten days? No way in hell would I leave that child unattended.
And I really want to know how he got out that door while she was still up.
the only way I can see her not hearing this was if she was in the shower. However, the news article states Ethan was visiting his mom and step dad. So if she was showering, where was step dad? Unless he works nights....... and she was home alone with Ethan, and took her shower at night thinking he was asleep. I could see the shower waking a child in a new environment. Though, I do wonder why she would not leave the door open even if she was showering to hear if the 4 yr old needed something..... I did that all the time when mine was younger.
The site says the apartments are "seconds" away from the Air Force base. If they are originally from VA that could be the connection (tons of military in VA). Maybe stepdad works swing or graveyard shift on base.

http://www.standard.net/topics/search-and-rescue/2010/05/11/boy-4-reported-missing-laytonCART, the Child Abduction Response Team, was called to the scene at 1 a.m. on Tuesday to assist with the search; however, as of 9 a.m., police still believed the child was not abducted. The Davis County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team has 12 members, said Jason Curry, a member of that unit.
Officers are checking vehicles coming in and out of the apartment complex, said Atkin. Police are showing drivers posters of the boy and asking to search people's vehicles. When Atkin was aksed about the possiblity someone may have picked the child up, he said, "We hope that did not happen."
Police cannot issue an amber alert at this time, Atkin said, because there has to be certain criteria. However, police have issued an endagered person alert.
One of the articles said Ethan is from VA and is just staying with the mom and step-dad for the summer. So, maybe he lives with Dad in VA the rest of the year?

Yep. I'm VERY familiar with the Layton area (well, all of Utah actually) and where his apartment complex is is literally within steps of Hill Air Force Base. It's also relatively close to the freeway (I-15) and a shopping plaza is about 3 miles away.
When he ran off the other times, is this verified by LE or just something that came from mom? Has there been a last sighting established from an independant party?
These are excellent questions. Maybe I'm jaded, but I've already caught myself wondering if Ethan wasn't harmed by mom or his stepfather.
