Someone whose whole life, whose whole psyche, is bound up in it, because it's inescapable to them anyway. So they embrace it in what appears to be a positive way, in an effort to control and conceal and subvert those impulses, which may have been derived from a familial or similar history. But...

We're all over the place, though, most likely, regardless of adjacent zip codes...pro, con, neutral. I'm also a Portland local and I take Jensen with a heaping tablespoon of salt. He also admits to having no inside information whatsoever on this case. There is plenty of information available...

BBM. It only confirms that there was not a doctor's appointment for Kyron the morning he went missing, which IMO was already confirmed. It still does not indicate one way or another whether there was a doctor's appointment for Friday the 11th, which is the potential source of confusion and, I...

I live in Portland. I don't think Terri is guilty, nor do many in my circle of friends. The number in my circle that believe in her innocence has grown as time has passed, though I've withheld judgment from the beginning. I'm sick--personally--of the vitriol; it's being misdirected, IMO. I want...

Bump.

That's not even what I'm addressing, though, Aedrys. I don't think innocent people should be harassed. Period. I don't think anyone would dispute that J**** is innocent. He is also a child. Topic is not, to me, who is to blame. If anyone is to blame for harassing an innocent, it would be the...

I cannot, CANNOT imagine that Kyron would want the brother he loved harrassed (or worse), however "well intentioned" the harrassers.

This school is grades 4-6, apparently, for those wondering about approximate age. Per Scappoose School District website.

I disagree that this is "treading dangerous waters" by WS standards. It's been in MSM and has even been directly addressed by MCSO. "Capt. Gates said investigators are working with authorities in Seattle to determine where Kristian was on June 4, the day Kyron vanished from Skyline...

There is no new development. This is very old news. The DA's office made this request back in July. It was discussed at the time, so I'm not sure who it slipped past. Maybe it only appears to have slipped past now that it's being misplaced in the timeline and given some kind of special...

BBM. I consider myself very organized, but I do stuff receipts I am handed into my purse, especially when I have my toddler with me and I have other things to juggle. I just opened my purse and found three receipts, none of which I have any reason to hold onto. One is for yesterday's lunch at an...

BBM. Thanks! I'll leap off your last point: If it was done after the 8:45 bell, then most of the adults would have already left. The ones remaining would be school staff and faculty, plus the parents who stayed behind to chaperone the small groups through the exhibits. They would all be...

Finite? LOL. No, once the child is in school and checked in, they are the school's responsibility. She can't just walk away with him without violating the school's protocol. Now, she can choose to do that, but then she sets off a chain of events. The teacher "takes possession" (personally, I...

Children should be checked in as the get on the bus or arrive at the school (parent drop off). Think of it as a chain of custody. Not... drop off, no one knows who's there or not, hang out, then eventually roll call is taken. So in this case, Terri having that conversation with Kyron's teacher...

Nope. The name of my children's school is not up for public discussion!
