NY NY - Jacob Pritchett, 11, autistic, not seen several weeks, mother arrested, Brownsville/Brooklyn, Sept 2025

Yep. My conflicting is big brother vs accountability and how we deal with all of this to protect kids and protect freedom

I don't know the answer to that when it comes to missing children.

 

[appleatcha]

I think we all do but it is one the laws of our country that we have to protect. IMO

Personally, I think it's a law that needs to be changed. If a child in your custody disappears and you don't report it, the court should be able to hold you indefinitely until the child is found. MOO.

If you left your child with a babysitter for a date night and came back and found the child was not there, babysitter refusing to answer the wheels would be turning. Mother, turns out not so much.
Sorry for the 'tude, following another similar case in CA.

I am curious. They found mattresses. they found toys, most likely clothing too.... but did they find the strollers as well?? I haven't found mention of that anywhere, apart from people saying tha allegedly he was pushed around in one. That would easily be used to assist to move the child somewhere else.

I think there is even worser scenario, considering the size of the child and blood scent near a fridge. Out of courtesy, I will not put it in words, since it's incredibly triggering and nauseating thought.

Poor lil angel...

Sorry but I have to ask were you thinking she ate him ? Certainly nauseating however the fact that there was reportedly no electricity would render the fridge useless.

That is true, and that has crossed my mind as well. However, the scenario I was preferring is more along the ways of hack and whack.

They did search the dump for the area.

Eta: landfill. Scottish brain couldn't remember the US word.

They did but they haven't even determined a date or time frame of his being missing.

(FWIW we say both in the US!)
If God forbid his body was in multiple pieces and thrown out, it’s very unlikely they’d find him. The amount of refuse in such a populated area’s dump must be enormous. So many similar cases where the perpetrator was charged but the body was never recovered from the landfill - Yingying Zheng, Stephen Cozzi, Ana Walshe, Zion Foster.

Unfortunately this seems likely given the location of the blood

There is also possibility of getting rid of him by simply moving him to another location, which is not necessarily a landfill. There is possibilities of illegal landfills, and that she might have buried him on location, more meaningful for her (and the question remains, what would it possibly be?).

There is also the gruesome reminder of Victorian Times, when mothers would drown their children in the rivers and so forth, if they could not afford raising them (or the most usual case, born out of wedlock part.). So perhaps this could be possible way? Since the actual day he went missing is unclear.

Very true. That's what happened to Cairo Ammar Jordan. He was stuffed in a suitcase and a mushroom hunter found it (and him).
