So, they found the backpack, and the clothes, but no child? I wonder what kind of condition the backpack was in when they found it! I suppose it could've gotten torn apart in the water or whatever, but I wouldn't expect the clothes to still be with the bag if that were the case...

In re: to Mom confessing to abusing this child. I definitely believe that. I wasn't trying to say that Mom is some innocent victim in this. She definitely wasn't a good "mom" at all. Just that this specific incident it could've been either one of them. I find it hard to believe that the bf never "disciplined"(abused) the child as well.
All JMO! :moo:
