She took her 4-year-old daughter with her but left her 2 year old son in the abandoned car? I guess it's a better story than "the dog ate my homework" but not by much.

She took the 4 yr old with her but left the 2yr old in a unlocked car for around an hour? Did this happen on the docks because I smell something fishy?

put her in jail, for neglegence and child endangerment and abandonment and take the other kid before she does sumthin to her. The only victims are those babies sum one must advocate for them

Something is very wrong with this story. Why wouldn't she use a cell phone, or flag down another car, or take both children? The police aren't stupid, and we will hear more actual facts when they can tell them.

The parents had been charged with neglect on this same child before. Dad hadnt seen children since Jan. Cops were able to start car that supposedly ran out of gas. Pic of boy taken with him in the car seat had to be taken right b4 she supposedly left him. Taken with cell phone? Why didnt she just use it to get help? Things dont add up. That poor baby will probably be found but not the way we hope.

The picture of the baby shows he is wearing the same clothes he had on when he went missing. Did the mother take a picture before leaving her son? It was 8am in the morning the baby was probably awake. They should question the 4 year old.

I don't think that Casey Anthony caused other mothers to harm their children... I think that the Casey Anthony trial is just causing the media to pay more attention to missing children with suspicious circumstances, which is the way it should be. The sooner it gets out that a child is missing, the more likely it is that they will be found.

Ya know it could just be me, But I swear every since that Casey Anthony joke.. there has been more innocent babies popping up missing than before. See what happens, you let one bad seed go, and she was a BAD Seed.. and it ferments and infects the others. Nice!!!

It is hard to believe anyone today could be that ignorant. Real mothers don't do that. There must be mitigating circumstances. I hope Sky is found safe and sound.

When my sons were younger i didn't even leave them in the car to run in and pay for gas while it was being pumped and i was a few yards away. Something doesn't add up. I hope the child is alright but have a feeling there is a heck of a lot more to this story than we are hearing.
