This. Girls aren't highly valued in Indian culture, in India baby girls are frequently disposed of, killed or thrown away. This girl also had developmental issues which probably made her more difficult to raise, required therapy etc, and the father decided he doesn't want to be bothered.

You can quit the India bashing. And the blatant falsehoods.

Don't get too uppity.

I'd hope we can just focus on this poor little lost girl.

So what's the reason when it happens tens of thousands of white kids?

I don't know which is a worse thing to hear. That someone would leave their kid outside in the middle of the night over milk (I don't buy this, btw) or that they'd murder her.

I hate both options.

In Nebraska, you can drop off your kid to safe haven places at any age. In most other states, it's limited to newborn time. I think we need to have it for any age everywhere. Beats having these kids murdered.
Yes, "dingo stole my baby" defense, and that "defense" from the father is totally insane. Won't drink her milk at 3 am so made her stand by a tree? In an alley? Went to check on her 15 minutes later and she was gone? Reported her gone 5 hours later? It's all CRAZY. I suspect the police know much more info than they are giving the media. And every time I see people respond to media stories, getting angry about how it's being reported, I want to scream. The media is simply reporting what they are given by the police.

She was adopted. Obviously they knew they were getting a girl when they adopted her.

If this was premeditated, I would hope to god they'd come up with a better lie.

I'm perplexed the dogs didn't find anything.

Ugh, this whole thing sucks.

I don't think this child was outside at all, which would explain the dogs not finding anything since that's where they were searching. Would also explain them towing the three cars and as far as I know we've heard nothing about what they've found in any of the cars. As for the weird story given, what the heck? Doesn't exactly present the father in a good light. Who would make up a story like that in order to defend themselves? I punished my child by making her stand by a tree (not even on their property) in the middle of the night...oh, and there have been coyotes around, by the way. It does suck. It's so damned sad.

Really? After just 3 days? I don't think I've ever heard of an Amber Alert just outright being cancelled because of no leads.


I can't even wrap my mind around what kind of person would toss their little kid outside at 3:00 in the morning. Over milk, no less. Just unbelievable.
Why was he trying to get her to drink milk at 3 am, anyways?

Actually, that story about the dingo turned out to be true.

Half knowledge is a dangerous thing.
