Here's a thought....maybe the Mother put her son there, shut the door, and did this for Pub-licity.

Hey!

I have an idea, let's just read the headlines and then make up our own stories to go along with them.

Doesn't that sound like great fun???

sheesh

This mother told her 2-year old child to follow her across a parking lot to her parked car. 2-year olds can't be trusted to do that, sometimes even 10-year olds can't - and across a parking lot where cars are moving back and forth? Is she kidding!!! You have a child that small, you hold their hands. You don't just order them around like a trained dog.

I am so thankful this child wasn't hit by a car, wasn't picked up by a pedophile, didn't fall in a nearby stream or pond, etc. etc. etc.

I pray this mother is a more vigilant person in the future.

Thank God for those who turned out to help search for him.

JUST ANOTHER UNFIT MOTHER WHO CAN'T RAISE HER CHILD PROPERLY!!! Take the child from the home and put it in a good surrounding!! Must have been too busy watching TV to care where her kid was! cantbtaught

Are YOU are a parent? If so, it is kind of scary how you made this comment without having read the article. And if you did read the article...scary still.

DO PEOPLE NOT READ AND COMPREHEND THESE DAYS???? Do they just post after reading only a headline?

"I thought that was a member of police, not the father. caniac315"

maybe not police, but at least one of the rescuers-not the father.

I do think it sounds a bit snarky for Chief Lopez to answer "ask him" but he does have a point. 2 year olds' can generally communicate somewhat. If I were the mother I would be asking my child "baby, how did you get in those people's apartment"? The mothers interview said she was standing by the car talking to her friend as they were getting ready to leave and she looked down and her son was just gone. Personally, I would have been holding my 2 year old while talking and saying good-bye or I would have already secured my child in the car seat and then had the conversation with my friend. Children do move quickly. Even if the people in the apartment weren't watching TV the normal and correct thing to do would be to call 911 and say "hi, a very small child has come to my door and cannot communicate to me where he lives....has anyone reported a child missing?". Something is not right about those people having that child in their apartment for sure.

Could this 2 year old have run into highway and harmed by an automobile? Who was watching this child?

Why wasn't this child's parent watching him? How did he wander off un-noticed?

the chief replied, "Ask him."

wow.... if are going to be that rude why call a press conference? or put a spokesperson out there
