Found Deceased NC - Mariah Woods, 3, Onslow County, 27 Nov 2017 #3

[Deleted member 158085]

If my child were missing, that would be all I could think about! What is my child going thru? I would use the media galore to talk to my child, tell her/him that we will find you! Plead with whoever had my child to not harm them! Anything and everything I could think of I would do! I would be a basket case and everyone better stay out of my way cause I'm going to find my child! I think I sound normal for this kind of scenario, if I believed someone took my child.

But would you be able to do that on camera without becoming a mess and not being able to continue the interview? I would not. If I was trying to get the word out, I would steel myself and attempt to stick to talking about things that I could get through in an interview.

Just thinking about what some of my friends and family may have gone through in their last moments can turn me into a mess decades later. I can talk about them, their accidents, and a lot of things surrounding that. But if someone wanted me to discuss my fears and concerns about what they specifically went through, I could not do it on camera. And once I became a mess, there would be no going on in the interview.

So speaking, on camera, about her being fearful and cold and what may possibly be happening to her physically and emotionally would be a no go for me.

I haven’t caught up yet so if this was already posted please forgive me!

Looks as if the rumor that they went to Kentucky for Thanksgiving can be put to rest, if they did go they didn’t see Kristy’s family

Didn't they already release that they didn't go to Kentucky? It was a few days ago, but I remember reading that their plan was for Kentucky, but they ended up in Raleigh instead.

There are no details, however, on the Raleigh trip. Do they have relatives there? Did they just go there, spend a few days, and come back? Did they even GO?

Please let this be the day we find this beautiful little girl.
I am consumed with Caylee Anthony anxiety with Mariah. Please God, let this be the day.

i certainly understand.
Yes I believe I could and would, no matter how much of a mess I was. But I realize I might be different than some others.

Since I didn't see the mom's Facebook I can't speak to her social media behaviors but based on mine and those of my Facebook friends, very rarely does anyone post photos on-the-fly, as typical events, like holidays, are unfolding. If they add anything to their Facebook walls it's usually a few days later. Just based on the social media behaviors of those I know I wouldn't put much stock in the mom's not mentioning a trip to KY or sharing photos of any events that may have taken place in Ky.

Many of my friends post in real time. However, unless the photos become profile pictures at some point, they are very often not public. Facebook forces any profile picture to be viewable by the public.

People like me, who have half of their friends set to be allowed to view only public information, tend to "throw them a bone" every now and then by posting publicly so people aren't suspicious that they are not allowed to see my posts. Those people believe (hopefully) that I am an occasional poster. The rest of my friends see more things on a regular basis. There's no way to know for sure about someone's posting habits because in addition to this, I can lock single people or groups of people out of seeing certain posts without them knowing it.

Example - I've posted DIY projects I am working on for a specific person, and so it's a surprise, I exclude that person from the post.

It would be different for me because I cannot recover once the flood waters break. I have a rule with my friends that they do not hug me when I am going through a loss. If they do, I will break down and the day will be lost.

Have any of the locals seen hide nor hair of the bio mom and live-in BF since day one? Are they being reclusive? Are they helping with search? What are they doing? Would love to have some answers

 

[luvs2laugh]

I am just grateful that there is both a Kentucky State Police post and a FBI satellite office 5 miles from where Kristy's family lives.
Where are you Mariah?

I second that. I still haven’t posted photos from Thanksgiving. Granted I’m not a super avid FB user, but I don’t think it’s out of the norm to post in a post-even manner.

Oh God......When I read that Mariah’s brother allegedly was beaten (by the live in BF) with a BELT resulting in bruises.....I truly wanted to vomit at the thought of these poor, defenseless, innocent kids being subjected to this mistreatment by their mom’s LIVE-IN BF!! Dear God - how can a mother allow her BF to mistreat her kids like this?

It brought back horrific memories of my childhood and my mother’s allowance of it......my older brothers were beaten with a BELT over and over and I witnessed their EVERY beating by “my loving Catholic father”, allowed by “my loving Catholic mother” when we were young. I will never EVER forget the horrific abuse we all endured, but mostly by my brothers. I myself was raped by a neighbor but that is another story. I am sickened that this abuse still takes place in this day and age.

How awful for Mariah and her brothers. I have no idea of what else these poor kids experienced but I am so sorry for all they endured. Oh God I just want to sit down and cry at the thought of it all. It has taken me 50 years to overcome the hell we lived in. I pray for Mariah’s well being (but I know that is asking too much at this point) along with her brothers. Tears for all the hell they have lived thru.

God will deal with the horrible monsters among us who harm his precious babies. I am so sad over this awful, awful happening. Oh how I hurt for these poor kids. My heart bleeds.

I am so sorry Blondie, I have seen your posts for a long time here, had no idea you had endured that horrific treatment. Im kinda sorta a neighbor to you, im in Concrete.

I didnt read the info about the children being beat so why did CPS give them to her when the bio dad wanted them so bad? I swear there should be a law if the mother has a live in boyfriend he should be checked out and advised never to lay a hand in anger on the children or else! I dont get these women I just don't. If some boyfriend I had even thought to hurt one of my kids there would be some whopping going on but it would be me whopping his .! I could cry too, im just so sorry.

Me too. I was a witness to abuse when I was young. I remember the sounds, and even today I imagine the fear of this child when he knew he was going to be punished. It's the sounds I'll never forget, because I was always in another room. I think I have a little PTSD because of it. It's strange, because I made it through my teen years and my twenties without thinking about it, but then the memories began to haunt me in my 30's. I am very sensitive to the sounds children make. Even if I hear a child squeal or cry out during physical play, it makes me uneasy.

It's noticeable that bf wasn't standing with mum in her interviews.

they impounded Kristi's van per bio dad on Nancy Grace. http://www.crimeonline.com/2017/11/30/crime-stories-missing-mariahs-dad-speaks-to-nancy-again/

That's a big deal!

Was the volunteer search supposed to start today at 8am EST? I hope there was an enormous turn out of local people trying to find this beautiful little girl.

Oh Blondie, I am so very sorry for the pain you have endured and in awe of your strength and bravery. I desperately want to believe that with each generation, belt beatings and women standing by their abusive men will be obsolete. I'm sure at some point, I blamed my mother for "allowing" the abuse, but in reality, she was my father's first and biggest victim. With no other support and all those years ago, I honestly think she saw no way out and convinced herself it was in our best interest. It's such a vicious cycle. Unfortunately, we don't all come out on the other side passionate about breaking the cycle.

I don't pass any judgement on either of Mariah's parents, we have no knowledge of everything disclosed to LE and their's is a position none of us would want to be in. I just wanted to say that your post has renewed my hope that there is a way out of the darkness. Someone knows where this precious little angel is and I pray for their light and strength to come forward.

From Nancy Grace podcast: Alex Woods says a "grandmother" who lives near bio mom and family saw someone walk out the back door of Mariah's home, carrying something, around 3 or 4 am that morning. The woman's name is "Hannah". She helped the mom watch the kids sometimes.

‘Don’t be nice, don’t be nice, don’t be nice.’ ... I can relate. I also can’t look close friends and family in the eye if I’m fragile, the softening of their expression just pushes me over the edge. I liked your observation about certain area’s/feelings being harder to talk about - naming things can seem to give them more power or become more real.

From a local news reporter's twitter:

Hundreds of community volunteers gather at Dawson Community Church to assist in the search for 3yr old Mariah Woods.

Can a reg WS user give me a hand. Is there some setting I can use to stay signed-in the WS forum? Every time I switch over to do something else on my computer and then come back to WS I'm signed out automatically by the forum and have to sign-in again.

Mark Klaas suggests that Alex Woods should find a law enforcement officer immediately and tell him what he knows. Klaas says it doesn't sound like he's done that yet.
