I read this story this morning about a woman in Florida whose 7MO infant was found under a bed at her sitters house...I can't find the original story but I was just reading a follow up story..Excite News - Officials: Mom gave missing Fla. infant to sitter (http://apnews.excite.com/article/20091105/D9BPHDT00.html) ....Here's where it really gets strange...Seems that the Mommy gave the baby to the sitter...(Here ya go, you can have her) Then the Mommy reported her missing...The police went to the sitters and the dogs found the baby in a freakin box way under the bed...So the Sitter, her Hubby and the Mommy are charged...Daddy didn't know a thing about it....Now the kicker, and I am quoting here: "Susan Baker was involved in another missing child case in South Carolina more than two decades ago. She told authorities her stepson, 3-year-old Paul Leonard Baker, disappeared from the family's Beaufort, S.C., home on March 5, 1987, while she was napping.
A massive manhunt in the swampy area around the home turned up nothing. She and her husband, James Baker, were extradited to South Carolina in 2000 and charged with assault and battery in Paul's disappearance, according to police reports provided by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. But a grand jury never indicted them and the child was never found.
Susan Baker did serve prison time after authorities investigating her stepson's disappearance discovered a 6-year-old girl in the Baker home had been badly beaten. Susan Baker was sentenced to 10 years in prison but the sentence was suspended after 80 days. Authorities could not say how she was related to the girl."
Now is it me or is something wrong with this picture?

Looks like she was the step-mother of the girl, it was Paul's older sister. She was found beaten and covered in sores. Baby boy was never found. Luckily this time the baby was found alive. I think the sad part is that authorities had been to this babies home numerous times and reported that the parents both smoked drugs and marijuana around the baby. But a pediatrician had recently rated the baby as thriving. Can't really tell where the system STARTED to fail this child. Really heartbreaking.
