Joyce said after authorities arrived to her home that Child Protective Services wants her to have a mental evaluation. I read that she had already been evaled by DSS. Something is not right here?

the mom seemed more than a bit confused when i saw her on the news..she was rambling about what her husband had done to her arm..seemed like she was a bit "off"?

paulej - doesn't say. the broadcast gives more info than the written story.

Somebody commented about the Silver alerts being misused. I can assure you that they are not. Unlike Amber alerts, they actually have criteria THAT IS FOLLOWED rather than bowing to knee snap reactions of hysterical or vindictive parents who have seen nothing but AMBER ALERT and demand one even through it does not actually qualify and the supervisor knows it is much easier to issue a false alert than to explain why their doesn't qualify.

The public sees waaaaaay to much on TV and believes it to be real. Like some news casts.

Cheez - "Ridiculous! Don't the police have more dangerous criminals to pursue than mothers taking good care of their children. Geez!!"

Do you know this mother personally? To know that she does indeed take good care of the boy?

No one seems to know that.

That's what bothers me.

Besides CCPS, where is the child now?

dollibug - "Actually this could be exactly right....sometimes attorneys and judges just kind of *overlook the child/children*....and what is best for them....they allow a parent to do whatever the heck they want to do....IF you have not been in this kind of situation....YOU HAVE NO CLUE....I didn't until I heard/saw it myself...."

The child still lives somewhere with someone who feeds them, clothes them, etc.

Who IS that in this case???

Who called the authorities to get the Amber Alert?

Why didn't the authorities ever go to the mother's house? In the time it took them to get there, once alerted by a news reporter, she could have killed the child a thousand times over if she's dangerous to him which no one has stated at all.

In fact, the reporter said she seemed concerned and generally in shock over the whole thing.

Ridiculous! Don't the police have more dangerous criminals to pursue than mothers taking good care of their children. Geez!!

Very strange story! Because she and the father recently broke up, it makes me wonder if the father didn't set the authorities on her in some kind of revenge.

Praying for the child!

"karma: this wasn't a fake amber alert. the mother was NOT supposed to have the child." --JAT
