Any One Else Falling Apart Today Because of Baby Lisa from Kansas City?

It has really made me rethink my children's sleeping arrangements. We live only about 20-30 minutes away where this happened. I'm pretty freaked out about it as well.

It's quite unsettling.
But an actual baby abduction is just SO VERY rare.
These parents may have even more agony ahead....
Very sad.

I sure hope we don't find out 'more' later. Custody battle, drugs, etc. I just find it hard to believe that someone could just come into your house, take your child and there isn't more to the story. Believe me, I'm not so gullable to think it couldn't happen in this sick world and I hate to be a pessimist. There is a poor baby out there that needs her parents that's for sure.

I need TV. I have no idea what you're talking about. Guess I gotta Google it.

ADDED:
OMG this is not easy to read w/o getting emotional over it. I am so glad I am not watching it on TV as I am sure I'd get ten times worse. I think as mothers it's part of our nature to get sick to our stomach with the thought of anything like this happening.

When your daughter asks you when you're going to be happy, what do you tell her?

This story really got to me too, and I think it is because my son is the same age (10 months). I was happy to hear that out of the 200+ baby kidnappings since the 70's, only 12 were not returned to the families. All we can do is say a little prayer (or just send warm thoughts if you are not religious)!

This happened less than 15 miles from where I now live (not warrensburg anymore). When we first heard the story, I was REALLY upset! I can't imagine how that must feel! KCTV5 and Fox4 (for those who don't already know) said the abductor most likeley entered and exited through the baby's open bedroom window. The guilt those parents must be feeling. I have never went to bed and left the kids' windows unlocked, let alone open. And this reinforces that for me.

Yes! And, it's not helping my efforts to stop my son from sleeping in our bed! He says he's afraid of a stranger getting in his room and getting him. How can I expect him not to be afraid of that when it is MY absolute greatest fear (obviously I don't tell him that!). Killing me, and praying a lot!

I live within 30 minutes of where baby Lisa lives. I cannot stop thinking about it. I have checked and rechecked the doors, windows, all locks.

I've reviewed stranger danger with the kids, I've reviewed passwords, I've reviewed no opening doors for anyone except mom, dad, my sister (cause she lives with us)....no grandmas, no grandpas...etc.

I'm really not sure what to think.

Yes. I slept in my daughter's room last night . She is 10 months old. Irrational, yes.....but this story makes me sick to my stomach.

I haven't been home, anybody care to clue me in!?

I cried for weeks over the torturous death the little 4 year old Dominick Calhoun endured.

I'm praying for the safety and protection for this child of God until she is located. I'm sick that something has happened to a young child. And furious as the parents are no longer cooperating.

Emotional pleas aside, they can unfortunately be faked, Susan Smith comes to mind. I speak from experience, my son WAS kidnapped, and I can say without a doubt that a parent of a kidnapped child will cooperate with whomever and do anything and everything to get their child back, no matter how frustrated or upset they are.

Me too. KC isn't far from where I live so it seems like it struck close to home for me. Now I keep looking at everyone with a baby to make sure it isn't her. I just pray that it's someone who wanted a baby of their own. Not that they made the right choice, but at least that way they would take good care of her. Hope to heaven no one harms that beautiful little girl.

I understand. Since my son was born 9 years ago everything that happens to any kid (event stupid TV shows) makes me cry. You just have to stop watching those things if they make you so upset. I usually obsess over the incidents that happen in schools. Just do what you can to keep your kids safe and the likelihood of anything like this happening to you will be slim. Hang in there!

It is indeed very sad, but the parents' tears can be manufactured. Every case where a child has gone missing has parents who address the media, tears streaming down their faces, pleading for the safe return of their little boy/girl. It can be faked quite easily. Even guilty parents can cry in front of the cameras.

As GrammaRocks noted, they are no longer cooperating with the investigation, which makes them the prime suspects.

I've been following it some. It's horrible. I can't even try to imagine what the parents are going through. But the cynical side in me can't help but wonder if there's more to the story than what's being let on. Like if the one or both of the parents are somehow involved. I certainly hope not believe me! But to think that some stranger just walked into their house and took off with thier baby is very scary. There are a lot of crazies out there. You hear more of women taking newborns or even attacking a pregnant woman to get the baby than someone taking an older baby. Not saying it isn't impossible, just saying very rare. Which in itself makes it that much scarier! My heart goes out to them and I will definitely keep that sweet baby in my prayers.

I have been ignoring the case because I got the same vibe I did when the little girl went missing in Southern Missouri. I figure eventually I will hear I was right or wrong and that is just about all I can take.

I haven't heard about this one yet. I too get obsessed over child abductions though. Even before becoming a mom, but it is much worse now.

I live in CA and didn't watch the news last night so I'm sure it will catch up to me eventually.

We all like to believe that terrible things would not happen to us good people of the world. So it makes us feel a tiny bit better to think that the parents had something to do with this, or that something about their lifestyle brought it on. It makes us feel like it's preventable.

But it doesn't change the fact that something sad happened to one of God's innocent children. That's the sad truth.

Turn off the news. You need to be there for your precious little one. You have to give this one up to God and focus on enjoying your family.

It's weighing heavily on my mind too. I was tearing up on the way to work this morning listening to it on the radio. My daughter is almost 17 months, so not that much older than little Lisa, so it's really hitting a little too close to home.

This is truly heartbreaking :( I sure hope they find her safe soon. I cant imagine being her mother. There has to be more to the story though. Was the door unlocked? And the window in lil girls room, was it too unlocked or open?
So so sad...

I'm sad about baby Lisa- I hope & pray for her safe return I also pray for the family & what the are dealing with at the moment.

Someone in the family is involved. There are evil people in the world. That's probably why I'm a little clingy to my kids.
