WOW thanks Jeannie.. I'd never heard of this oneDid they not find signs of a break in, like this case?

I had to research this myself because I'm not sold on the overdose of cold medication theory.. BUT since this report, alot of these medications have been removed from the shelves:

So, if it was an overdose, I think it was intentional (meaning someone just wanted to over medicate Aliayah so she would stop crying, go to sleep)
Lastly to address a comment about people not calling the police when a child is over medicated and dies because the parent is afraid of getting in trouble.. in this day and age, an ambulance chasing lawyer would jump all over that situation and the family might end up with a SETTLEMENT not jail time but then again they might not be thinking this way.
i think i know of the case that you are mentioning..it was here in Florida..the little girls name ironically was Jessica Lunsford....
Just speculation:
I sat and thought about it. I can't remember ever reading or hearing of a case where a child had been given an overdose of meds (meds for kids) and the parent(s) who found the child unresponsive or deceased hid the child's body.
I can think of a few that where the child found an illegal drug and ingested it and the parents tried to hide that fact (I'd have to do a google search but I do remember reading that). Usually the child is hidden to cover illegal activities going on in the home. JMHO.
A lot of the women around here try to keep it quiet about who they are living with. They get more food stamps/assistance by not reporting them and their income.
The story has even gone national, and caught the attention of Headline News' Nancy Grace.
At one point, a K9 picked up a scent that ended in the West Fork River, just beside the home, but still there was nothing found.
"Aliayah wouldn't just walk off. I mean she really wouldn't. I mean, she loves her family and we love her back," says her aunt, Wendy Swiger.
Police spent much of Monday questioning the girl's family.
"We just want her home," said her mother, Lena, to WDTV-TV.
Police say her mother has a criminal history, and served time for forgery, but will not elaborate if any of the family is considered a suspect.
"This search will last until she is found," says Posey.
it was Jessica Lunsford..she lived with her father and grandparents and the child molestor was staying with family like across the street from her home i think it was and he had to have been watching her becuase her father left for the night to stay at his girlfriends so she was with her grandparents and the sicko just went in and took her right out of her bed..and yes kept her there for days..police even knocked on their door and never knew thats where she was...i have also thought maybe if Aliayahs parents home didnt have good locks its possible she got out on her own..i hope they find her..alive..no she wasnt three years old ..the case you are talking about is so similar but not the one i thought it was..its sad that it happens so much that alot of cases are alike that way.
There's barely any pics of Aliayah.. nevermind her room!![]()
Respectfully shortened. this is not directed at you, wenc. I'm angry so venting in general.
Children were not intended to be a source of income. Repeatedly popping out children when one can not afford them is (partially) a result of welfare reform. IIRC, welfare reform was limited to X number of years per child. I've seen too many women continue to pop out children as a means to not time out of the system.
Now that we have learnt more facts in this case, that sad look on Aliayah's face looks to me like a troubled child. She looks hurt, in an emotionally pained way and it breaks my heart.
I'm a never married single mother of 1, and I struggle financially with 1. There is NO WAY I would consider a 2nd, 3rd or 7th. Heck, due to the troubles we see with the flavor of the week being brought in and out of childrens lives by some single mothers, I won't even date until my son is a legal adult and off to college.
This whole thing stinks, it stinks like he77 and Aliayah did not deserve it, nor do the other children who suffer at the hands of parents who are names I can't post without being timed out or banned. :furious:

JeannieC said the girl was 3 and the case was in SC so respectfully, she was NOT talking about this case...
This case I followed religiously since it was close to me in Florida...
BUT this case definitely could be similar unfortunately..![]()
i do believe that I "respectfully" stated that it was NOT the same case she was mentioning also..but thanks for taking the time to correct me on it anyway..:great:
