hey guys, i haven't posted much but have followed this thread from the beginning.
this is pretty long, read only if you have time, since not alot of info is coming out i figured this would be okay. hope i am sticking to the correct topics.
I might have a few insights from personal experience to shed light on certain things.
first as to the school. at my daughter's elementary, I have never been called because she was absent. when my son started middle school i started getting automated absence calls for each period he missed-BUT never before 5 or 6 pm. fat lotta help that is! on any day you must check in at the front office and show picture id, this is scanned into their computer and a sticker with my name, picture and reason for attending the school is listed. upon leaving i am required to turn the sticker back into the front office. all personnel wear regular clothes but a lanyard around their neck with their identifying info.
on special event days we have to sign in and show id, but they do not print our sticker like on other days. if i sign her out early, they give me a ticket to turn into the front office. there have been many times that i forgot to turn in the ticket and left through another door on the other end of the school - no one has ever stopped me or called to verify i actually left with them though. they do have security cameras everywhere though and all staff have walkie talkies to communicate with. (ps we live in texas in a large school district, not small like this one though)
as to the behavior of the parents, my son disappeared right out from under my eyes (age 11 at the time) at disneyworld on christmas eve. we had to contact park security (i did this immediately) and was taken to the security office to wait for his return. for 2 of the longest hours of my life i sat there in that office with my younger daughter and lost my mind. i was crying, shaking and near vomiting at the thoughts running thru my mind.(thanks websleuths, lol!) my daughter and the girl working in the office tried to talk to me and i just wanted them to shut up!!! i couldn't think, i was angry - beyond angry and i didn't want anyone to touch me or do anything. so trying to read into the family's behavior is impossible, because i am sure there are people who would have loved talking to the guards and help and getting hugs, etc...but not me. i was beyond all of that. there was no way i could even get a word out and trying to focus my mind on whatever meaningless carp they were saying was - impossible. thank god above, my husband ended up finding him. it was the best feeling ever and i pray that kyron will be returned alive to his family.
to me, from all the pics he was truly loved and treasured. look how nice and organized the house is in the background. look at all the other family members in pics, close to him, hugging or looking at him. the bright smile on his face. he was loved. and he was probably a trusting soul because of that love. he had never been hurt and didn't even imagine it as a possiblity. if someone targeted him, they would have figured this out quickly.
as for his artwork. the sun looks just like several projects my children did in art class that were guided and they were only given certain colors to use and a specific topic. they were instructed to completely fill the entire page, because these were sent to parents with a fundraiser order form, that you could order different gifts made out of the art, such as keychains, blankets, shirts, cups, pillows, etc... the squirrel is very detailed and colorful as well. it doesn't look dark or sad to me, sorry. the "feather" also looks like a falling leaf to me, falling from the tree with the little nuts the squirrel is eating. nothing sad or sinister there. shoot, you guys would eat me alive if you saw some of my son's drawings, lol!! he wants to be a police officer and his drawings are of weapons, men in uniforms, people being arrested/jailed. it is just what he is interested in. he isn't depressed or in trouble or anything like that and we have never had police come to our house, or even seen anyone being arrested other than on tv. but, now i am a little worried what his teachers might be thinking about our family, lol!
i'll eat my words if i am wrong, but that family looks shattered and i do not in any way think they had anything to do with it. i feel horrible for them. i think somebody planned this for awhile, knew kyron was a trusting child, and snatched him, period. now all i pray is that he is alive and can be found and returned.
thanks for indulging me! hope any of what i said might help someone in some way. love it here.
Who knows how this all will end, but right now it does not look good...
