Missing Girls and Questionable Mothers, Absent Fathers

OK I do not want to be slanderous at all so I have to point out this blog is based totally on opinion and observation of the news coverage on the missing case of Victoria Tori Stafford.

I am a mother. I have two girls. I only ever once thought I lost one of them, at a lake in BC that was TOTALLY crowded. For the three minutes it took me to find my daughter i was shaking, trembling, crying, scared, and mortified of the possibilities that could have happened. Once she was with me I was angry and relieved and so glad all at the same time. She was safe, unharmed and just testing her swimming abilities.... it could have been so tragic !

So when I try to imagine how i would feel on day 1, 3, 6, 9, 13 of my daughter being missing it is incredible hard to imagine me caring about keeping check of my emotions for the sake of the camera, the cousins, the aunts, the uncles, the police, the siblings... I would not be able to do it. My kids are my life. They are every breath I take. Which is why i am overprotective. I will not let my daughter walk to school alone, i will not let her walk home alone, i will not let her out of my site no matter where i live. I live in a small community, the same community that I grew up in, the same one that I was able to stay out til dark and walk to and from school every day. Alone. But it doesn't matter where you live, times have changed and the bad guys are everywhere, if they are smart bad guys they are preying on neighborhoods that think it wont happen here... where the parents are more lacadasial in watching their kids.. because they are so naive to think that it wont happen here.

So the story goes that she was walking home alone only that day because the brother decided to go with a friend. Did he not meet up with his sister to tell her this. Did he not notice a woman waiting for Tori? Or did he know the woman, waiting for Tori?

If you know your daughter is coming home and she is not home in the 15 minutes it takes to walk home, why didn't you call?? wait til 8pm or 6pm whenever it is that they called??

The video doesn't show her holding the woman's hand. every one is seeing things who says that.. watch it again. The father waiting for his son, didn't even flinch. so he doesn't matter unless he saw the woman and knows who she is.

The father. He has shown true and raw emotion, he has not be flaunting his life on the news, and shows genuine concern. He is not in this to get famous. He wants his daughter back. he has made no facade to try to trick us to think he is better than he is or perfect in any way. Many criticize him for being absent from the media.. but he is looking for his daughter. He is there searching for the one thing that makes his life whole... I'm glad he is not up in the cameras right now.

The mother.... hair changes, big sunglasses, inappropriate press conference clothing.. lack of emotion. She just irks me. And then the trust funds? Seriously??
Ever heard of victim services? They will provide all the counselling you and your whole family will need. You don't need trust funds, no one has a heart condition that is going to cost millions to fix without benefits. YOU DO NOT NEED MONEY except maybe to pay off your debts that got you here? It is so hard to be compassionate for a woman who shows no compassion! The phone company wont cut the stafford phone off right now.. and it shouldnt even be in jeopardy of that unless of course you havent been paying your bills? Is this a way to make money? That is what it seems like. Planning events for next month?? One day at a time, what happened to that?? NO BIKE RALLY! What the hell? Your daughter could be back by then? She could be dead? She could still just be living in your aunts basement?

How does a house that is surrounded by media and police and gawkers get a 5 foot plastic tree dropped off and no one notice??

it looks so fishy and it is soo hard.

No one but the police know the cold hard facts, well maybe the mother and her shady shady boyfriend.

The fact is Victoria Tori Stafford is still missing and it is affecting all of Canada. Everyone wants to know how an 8 year old vanishes into thin air?

The speculation doesnt help of course.

Just find her, bring her home. And mom, if you know where she is, tell them. You should be brought down. Your little girl is suffering because of you!

I know I will take slack from it, but frick. What else??
