dogs got no trace is a worry

 

[Peppery]

When there’s a reported size that seems grossly inaccurate for a child’s age, I get suspicious. 30” tall & 40lbs at 4 years old? That’s the height of typical a 12-18 month old child and would be an extremely short, chubby 4 year old. From his pic, he doesn’t appear to be overweight.

FBI Baltimore Joining Search For Missing 4-Year-Old Malachi Lawson

He was visiting his grandmother in northwest Baltimore.

WJZ was told that Malachi and his grandmother were playing outside. When his grandmother went into the house to get snacks, she came back outside, and he was gone.

I'm glad the FBI is involved.

C'mon little Malachi, where are you?

If the dog didn't get a scent, that concerns me. Wouldn't that mean he was lifted into a car? Or was never there?

HAPPENING NOW: @BaltimorePolice Commissioner Michael Harrison is talking about the missing four-year-old boy, Malachi Lawson. He says Lawson walks with a limp because he broke his femur when he was young. @WMAR2News

Is this at all normal from a pediatric orthopedic standpoint? Seems like everything possible would be done to a child so young to make sure they didn't have a crippling injury from a leg break?

 

[Luckyzmom]

Being reported missing so quickly,it is conserning that no scent was picked up.JMO the handlers know their dogs well. Maybe we will get updates today on search.

I was thinking the same thing. A femur? It is hard to break one on anyone's body. A lot of force would be needed, unless the subject has something wrong with their bone density, don't you think so? And a child's bones would be even more so, because they are almost flexible. Obviously, I don't know the technical/medical terms.
