Hate, hate to think this, but how much does an 8yo female go for these days??
For me? a bullet to the kidnappers head, never being ever to urinate again, and a safe child.:drumroll:

That is heartbreaking. :anguish:This is a new article I have just seen - a lot of these details are news to me . Breaks my heart.
Poor Relisha.

I guess it would depend on the buyer. One would have to assume a person is of substantially more value than drugs or other illegal trades and a child of that age would be a rarity.
I detest people who prey on children. GRRRRR!
I just wish I knew why LE was so sure there isn't some other(s) involved. Why are they so sure ostensibly immediately after each discovery of each body that the shooter was Tatum?
I wonder what the snow days off were in that area? In one interview, one of the Grandmas was quoted as saying she asked about Relisha, and he said he was keeping her longer. They were out of school that day because it had snowed.
When the case first broke, it was claimed Feb.26th was when Relisha was given to Tatum. We then saw the hotel video from that day, and Grandma Young/Turner stated he had picked Relisha up that day to go to a pool party, and that's why they were at the hotel. BUT, we hadn't heard about a pool party until after the video was released. Then we hear about him buying her a bathing suit, and he brought the bathing suit back to the family. I believe March 1st is when the bathing suit was given to the family, no idea when FBI became of it. DNA testing should show if Relisha ever wore it, and if it was ever in pool water. BUT, at this point, I don't know if they'll test it!
Personally, there is no amount of money in the world that would make me give my child to any man. NONE! I've been without work, money, etc. but never homeless, and always had family to turn if I needed help. So I've not lived the same life as this family, nor the same environment. I'm NOT excusing the behaviors at all. I'm just stating I've never been in their situation, but I still can't imagine any amount of money clouding my judgement this much. I'd try to sell myself first.
Grandma certainly put herself present at some key moments! She is involved with the fake Dr Tatum cover up with the school. She places herself as the pick up/ drop off for the alleged pool party. She says she spoke to Relisha on the 19th about eggs for breakfast. It really isn't beyond impossible, with SY's obvious drug problem that this could be done without her knowledge. Not letting SY off the hook by any means, it is all very very shady. MOO of course.

<snipped>Relishas grandmother Melissa Young, who signed Relisha up for Girl Scouts and laughs about how she ate more shortbread cookies than she sold, now questions why the shelter staff didnt notice that her granddaughter was gone. Every night, staff members knock on doors and ask how many kids are in each room, but they dont open the doors to look, she said. If they had, they would have seen Relishas bed empty many nights.
For nearly two years, the missing 8-year-old had been living in the shelter for homeless families at the former D.C. General Hospital, a grim place with bedbugs and no playground. Relatives said the second-grader, who slept with a teddy bear she named Baby, wanted out so desperately that she would fake asthma attacks to stay at their homes. Adults who were close to her at her old school described her arriving with filthy clothes, dirty hair and an empty stomach, and they said she often didnt want to leave.
She was like, Can I stay?  said Regina Pixley, a security guard at Ferebee-Hope Elementary School, which Relisha attended from pre-kindergarten until last June, when the school closed. And we were like, Baby, you have to go home. 
Some background on Relisha... things she said, how she felt about things.
You may want to grab some Kleenex... :cry:
I don't know whether I'm just sad or incredibly angry, I am without words for this whole situation.

Shamika must have been telling them the right number of people while knowing RR wasn't there. Deception!

Is this correct for when SY met KT?
Taken from above article!
"Shamika Young said that she met Tatum in 2005 and that her daughter considered him a godfather."
2005 is the year Relisha was born.
