More info on the GS
I got this in email today. Kind of funny how small the world is..LOL. I know not all the info is correct. But also know since the mom isn't being honest that there may be more truth than I realize.
PLEASE FORWARD
A kidnapping occured in CL last night, July 6th and I want everyone to take heed since it involved my husband, Jay, a Houston police officer.
A woman and her 11 year old daughter were shopping at the Randall's on (named) Boulevard and went home to their apartment on (street name) (around 11:30 p.m.). Someone knocked on her door and it was a Hispanic male wearing a cowboy hat and he flashed a badge at her, which said "Border Patrol." He told her he worked for Randall's and that they had seen her shoplift some items. The mother became confused and said she wanted to write down some information from him. She then left her daughter ALONE in the living room to go get a pen and paper and when she came back, her daughter and the man were gone.
My husband said she called the police, an Amber Alert was issued and the hunt for the little girl began. A few hours later, a police officer found the girl who had been dumped in a field . Her wrists and her mouth had been duct taped and she had been raped by several men.
It will probably be on the news tonight but I wanted everyone to hear it from a closer viewpoint first. Our area is too trusting and needs to pay attention to everything happening around them. CALL THE POLICE EVERY CHANCE YOU GET...too many things are happening here because everyone doesn't think any bad things happen in perfect town...we have plenty of crime, you just may not know it like my husband and I.
I am amazed that it hasn't been all over your news!! It is just so hard to understand how the whole story hasn't come out and the truth told yet. I would think they would want everyone to be aware of exactly what happened so they could be on the lookout and protect their own children!! The whole thing is just weird!!
I pray for the little girl!!
I sure hope for the sake of the girl that this doesn't have much truth in it. I've still been watching the news sites and haven't seen anything on it. It's so odd.
Whatever did happen I'm glad the girl is back home and I hope she gets help that she is going to need.
It was on cbs and nbc the day after at both noon and 5. I never saw it on abc. Sadly here in houston we have abductions daily and I think it was pushed off the news.
As far as the info goes. The age is wrong. She wasn't dropped in a field, she was dropped at a convience store. There was not an amber alert issued (i think the mom was doubted and then found before it all came together). I did ask specifically about if the girl had been raped, she said please don't tell everyone though, she been through enough. I know they only did a sketch of one person though.
On a sad note, this girl, who was very young and immature (who never had a sex talk with mom, because mom thought she was too young). Isn't crying, just going on with life. However she won't play with any of her "baby toys". Cleaned out her room and said "i'm really too old for these things". It will be a really tough road for recovery, I hope the mom really takes care of her daughter and quits focusing on herself!
I edited out names and such...I was so shocked to actually read this...especially in light of all the mom's emails, that I forgot to remove info on our town..LOL. I just would hate for it to google up at a later date.
One of the most interesting things, this comes from a wife of a police officer working the case (or so it claims). How many times do we forward stuff, sounds legit, even checks out mostly. But there are lots of details that I think are just WRONG. Like the time, location of drop off, there was never an amber alert, etc. Lots of little things, but then again, if you can't get the time right, can you get the other details right? Obviously a lot of it is speculation.
Another odd thing....the tv report said the child didn't appear to be physically harmed. HUH? So which is it, was she tied up? I know rape isn't obvious, but what kind of reporting is that. I would of thought, something like, we are unsure exactly of what happened. Or she was not restrained when located, etc.
"On a sad note, this girl, who was very young and immature (who never had a sex talk with mom, because mom thought she was too young). Isn't crying, just going on with life.

This just brought tears to my eyes. I'm so, so sad for this little girl and I can not imagine what's going through her mother's head to not be focusing on the trauma her daughter has been through. To have to grow up in the blink of an eye like this is going to lead her to need so much support and counseling. I hope the details do get straightened out soon since this all just sounds...wrong, somehow.
I agree, therapy is necessary. And something that may not have been considered, the mom may have a bit of denial going, not wanting to accept that this happened to her baby. I think the mom probably needs help too. My heart breaks for this child. Without proper treatment, this can affect her future relationships, her self esteem, self confidence, self image, her sexual identity and sex life.......just imagine what that would do to any one of us. And it is going to end up being up to the mom to MAKE SURE her child gets help for this, sooner rather than later. Pretending it didn't happen is NOT going to help either of them.
