Ellie-Mae, my word. Did that happen to you one day? I can imagine how you must have felt when the police came!
Re: the little girl in my neighborhood: I quickly found out she didn't speak English.
And poor girl; I think I nearly scared her to death when I opened the door.
I kept trying to get her to come to me because I wanted to see if she was hurt or anything, but she climbed down the steps and ran into my lawn.
She then suddenly ran out into the middle of the street - which almost gave me apoplexy (good thing I live on a quiet street with not a lot of traffic).
Then she just stood in the street and screamed for her mother. I didn't want to go after her because everytime I started to move, she would start running in circles and screaming (I have that effect on kids  ).
So, the little girl waited in the middle of the street and I stood at my front door and prayed that no cars would come.
Finally, the mother comes . . . nonchalantly and talking on a cell phone! By now the little girl is crying. The mother takes her sweet time getting to the girl and continues to talk on the phone. When she reaches the girl, she grabs her hand and turns around and starts walking away, dragging the little girl and STILL talking on the phone.
She didn't even seem concerned. Perturbed, yes; concerned no. 
I called after the mother a few times and asked her to wait, but she started walking faster.
If I see the little girl out and about again, I'm going to call the police and let them take care of the situation.
The mother didn't even seem to care that her little girl was scared or even that she was wandering around the neighborhood by herself.

When my twin and I were only about 1 1/2 years old, we were out playing in the yard with my mom. She turned her back for no more than a minute and we were gone. She couldn't find us anywhere. We lived on a farm and she was panicking. She said all she could think about was 2 babies floating down the irrigation canal down the road. About the point she and my dad were going to call the sheriff, they glanced over in the direction of my grandparents house about a half mile away. They saw 2 little dots following the wheel-lines (sprinklers) and walking into grandma & grandpa's backyard...
Kristin, that actually sounds sweet and cute.
Although, for your mother at the time, it was anything but that, I'm sure.

Did the policeman seem understanding once you told him the specifics?

Yeah, he felt really bad, but he was required to alert CPS. CPS was quite nice and found no neglect. It still makes me ill to think of it though.
I am sooooo glad that she is old enough to know better now.

What a horrible position for him to be in: knowing that you did nothing wrong, but being legally required to contact CPS.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

I think I've mentioned that I have no nerves left? The ManCub would open the door and leave every time my back was turned. Thank God we lived in the middle of the woods instead of on a busy road. I put latches on the screen doors but he'd stand on something and unlatch the doors.
And he would never answer me when I called. He could be in the house and I'd panic because he wouldn't answer.
And then there was the fact that he'd get up in the middle of the night and get into stuff in the kitchen. One morning there was a stainless steel pan on the floor in front of the refrigerator full of (thawed) frozen waffles and maple syrup. How he did it without waking anyone, even the dogs, I have no idea.
Additionally, there was no place to put anything that he couldn't get to. He'd climb to the top of the fridge if there was something up there he wanted.
Yeah, I have no nerves left.

No wonder you're so tough; you've had your nerves stripped!

HA!!! That must have been it. Only now he makes waffles at 6:30am instead of 3am.

Yep, people wonder why I'm so calm. If they only knew.

I say that about the ManCub a lot. 
He is my "humility child". You see, the GirlChild has been practically perfect in every way since birth. And, foolish, naive woman that I was, I thought it was due to my marvelous parenting skillz. HA!!! God relieved me of that misguided notion in a hurry, let me tell ya.

Oh Kath.
OK, I just have to giggle just a tiny bit and then I supress the rest of them that are bubblin' up at the surface.
And God Bless you!
I can only imagine how frustrating some of those moments were sometimes.

). This older policeman was driving by and stopped and brought her home. Fred comes up the stairs and tells me that their iis a policeman waiting downstairs because Rebekah was in the road. I barely coould walk down the stairs, and must have been white because he acted like he thought I was going to pass out. I felt so heart sick. I couldn't sleep for weeks after that. 
It is a good thing that he is so incredibly cute.
