GUILTY CA - Thaddeus Sran, 2, has feeding tube, found deceased, Madera, 14 Jul 2020 *parents arrested*

[meanmaryjean]

Having a feeding tube qualifies him for some amount if hourly, in-home nursing care via Medicaid waiver. The social worker connected to his pediatric feeding clinic / gastroenterologist would know if he was getting these services. If so, when was the last time he had services?

Typically, families are allowed a certain number of care hours per month and can structure it to best suit their needs. There is, however, an acute shortage of nurses doing this type of work because of the abysmally low pay. I have always done this type of work as a side gig (except I take care of home ventilator kids) and the pay was $12-15/ hour LESS than the hourly rate at my hospital gig*. Here's an excellent overview of the situation: Gasping for Care: Home nursing shortage impacts most vulnerable Hoosiers

*I did the work because I love the families and the ability to focus on one kiddo and do all the fun stuff that happens when they live at home instead of a hospital or nursing home. Money's not everything!

I don't like the way this is looking at all it's really not sitting well with me. I had a special needs son that was on a feeding tube and you would never leave him alone for that length of time. Feeding tube babies typically require small frequent feedings via feeding pump. For my son I was up every 4 hours around the clock and I would never leave him alone while he was feeding for fear that he would pull his tube out or roll over on it. Other than that I don't see how he could have gotten out of the house if he is barely walking and mostly crawling it just doesn't make sense. I don't want to think that his parents did something to him but it really seems to point in that direction.

Unless he is sleeping downstairs, and the parents upstairs. The sheriff also mentioned that although the community wants to aid in the search, they don't need any additional help. So they don't think he is the immediate area of the house, thus ruling out him leaving the house on his own accordance. But there is also no mention of a break in, no vehicle description, no suspects etc.

He is 2 years old, and besides the feeding tube has other medical issues (which the sheriff declined to mention). 9,5 hours going unattended is quite some time indeed.

So many questions. I'll be following.

 

[katydid23]

would you even be able to leave a small child with such severe special needs alone for 10 hrs? i think not. moo.

I would think a child with a feeding tube would need to be checked on occasionally within that 10 hour period. I think most parents get up at least once for water or to use bathroom---I always peeked in on my sleeping kids before going back to bed.

If I had a very young special needs child I would absolutely be peeking in before 10 hours went by. I think most parents/caregivers would do so.

 

[katydid23]

It seems strange that LE suggested he may have been abducted. Is there a custody battle of some kind going on?

Otherwise it seems odd to think he was targeted for abduction because special needs toddlers with health issues are not usually the main abduction targets.

Thaddeus was last seen wearing a red shirt and Spider-Man pants. Police say he was born premature and has serious medical needs including the need to use a feeding tube.

“We’re not ruling anything out at this point, it could be that somehow he got out of the house, it could be an abduction, everything is on the table, we are leaving no stone unturned,” said Madera Police Chief Dino Lawson.

Lawson says the family moved into their home on the 800 block of C street a few weeks ago.

“I’m just a little confused because there hasn’t been anything happening around here, like crimes or anything,” said neighbor Karla Aguilar.

Aguilar’s little brother is Thaddeus’s age. She says her siblings usually play outside but on Wednesday they decided to stay in. That afternoon, Rosalina Campos and her kids decided to search for the little boy themselves, driving through the neighborhood, calling out the window for him.

“I saw a picture of him so I know who we are looking for and we hope we can find him because I find it sad,” said 12-year-old Mariah Campos.

They searched the neighborhood for hours but saw no sight of Thaddeus.

UGH, UGH, UGH, family just moved in, couple of weeks ago. Who has seen this boy before the move? everything is just a little more suspicious.

Neighbor Karina Prudente, who lives a few doors down, said that the yard of the toddler’s home is completely fenced in around the house, Fox 26 reports.

“You should always lock your doors. I lock my doors. But as far as, ‘is there a band of roving individuals breaking into homes and stealing children?’ No. I can say that. Absolutely not,” Lawson added.

I agree with you all the way my special needs son was never left alone I tried to give him his own room but I just couldn't do it. I was so scared that he would need me and I wouldn't hear him. Everyone is different though so maybe they had their baby on a different schedule and he was okay to sleep through the night without them feeding or giving medications. I don't think he got out of the house by himself and I find it hard to believe that anyone could have gotten in to take him without being heard. I pray we get answers soon. All missing kids cases get to me but this one really bothers me.

2-year-old Thaddeus Sran is missing. His parents told Madera Police they took him to bed at 10 PM Tuesday, and he was gone when they woke up at 8:30 AM Wednesday.

Police have been searching the house and the surrounding areas. Here's everything we know so far.

I know I just said to myself what is going on in this world? So many missing children and far too often we hear the same stories over and over. What is wrong with people in this world? No one should be missing but certainly not a child the children are the most innocent of all.

I don't have much to say about this case, but wanted to share my experience with feeding tubes. My niece was born with gastroschisis and has a feeding tube. It is not unusual for her to sleep all night, much much longer than her twin brother. In fact mom says it is common for feeding tube kiddos to sleep well because their needs are being met with the tube. SO what I'm saying is that this little guy may be an excellent sleeper so his parents don't need to check in on him as often. And depending on the level of comfort the parents have, they may not feel it necessary to look in on him often.

Following.
So a special needs 2 year old, barely walking, disappears in the middle of the night. He did not leave the house, in the dark, on his own into a fully fenced property outside.
Abduction? I don't think so. imo

siblings in the home?
