Why did the mother wait so long to report her son missing? Nobody truly knows, but there certainly shouldn't be a reason for her to wait that long. Unless he went out for multiple days by himself but it doesn't make much sense......the mother might be at fault here for waiting so long, especially because of a recent murder of another young child.

Wacky Heart hmmm. I suggest tying an American flag to your back like a cape, finding a bison, and then riding that bison through the city streets with a cowboy hat on while singing “The Star Spangled Banner” to get his attention. At least, it’ll get his attention or make you the new Yeehaw Cowboy.

What’s annoying about this is if the LAPD accepted from the start that it was truly not her son, there’s a possibility that they won’t be too late to be able to find Walter still alive at the chicken coop.

[@marythecontrarian]

100%, Northcott spent a very long time abiding the boys before killing them, if he killed them at all. If the LAPD spent their time focusing on this case and well as other cases that ended up being connected to Northcott, it’s likely they could have found him alive.

You know how the older generations say "it was so much safer in my day" idk if thats true, i just think since media wasn't so big as now, they just didn't know of it.

[@bustedkeaton]

Yea, they say that because they were literal children at the time, so they wouldnt be up on the crimes and politics of the time. Their main memories of that time are movies and shows, because they can actually revisit those nice and prettified interpretations of the past. Its a mass market whitewashed Hallmark dream, not what was actually reality. People say that y/z arent "ready for the real world," when they cant even agree on whats Real or just what theyre used to being fed from reruns and TCM

[@sarahno899]

This is 100% accurate. Crime rates have gone down, especially violent crimes (in the US). But news was very much localized then and nobody was being subjected to a 24 hour news cycle from all over the world. The world isn't more dangerous at all, we're just now aware of HOW dangerous it is.

[@moodykrish]

But as the proverb goes" Ignorance is bliss"

[@napatora]

that's exactly the case. the world is safer today than it's ever been, by literally every metric. it's just that information travels so fast now that we hear about every terrible thing that happens all over the world, whereas before you would only hear about major crimes that happened in your area or the ones that made the national news or something.

[@jmreeves89]

@@napatora intentional homicides in the US occured of a rate of 5.8 per 100,000 in 1920 and 5.4 per 100,000 in 2019. That's not safer by every metric. Homicide rates rise and fall but always stay consistent. They drop to mid to low 4s and they spike to low 6s, but they are pretty much the same. It's homeostasis on a global level. For every law or invention that may lower crime, a counter is adapted and so the world moves. It may be nihilistic, but it's accurate.

I literally cried at the scene where Christine Collins was finally released from the mental hospital where they all accused her to be insane cause of the fact she refused to believe it wasn’t her son. And she broke down when learning that Walter was one of the victims at the chicken farm. A mother always knows. Sad.

[@emmad.176]

There's a part in the movie where Christine locks eyes with a prostitute that gets released from the mental ward under the same code as her, I believe. (It was very easy to write off women as mentally unstable then and to punish them for it). Christine helps to get her and others out and it's one of my favorite parts because they don't speak to each other, there's just a respect there.

[@anonymousperson3023]

Walter was never confirmed to be in the chicken farm. wtf are you talking about?

[@slideshowgurl]

⁠@@anonymousperson3023I assume they’re talking about a scene in the movie Changeling, with Angelina Jolie as Christina Collins, it’s based on this case. No they never proved he was there but I think that’s the publicly accepted fate of Walter Collins at this point. The nephew of the man that killed the boys identified Walter as one of the victims. I believe they did in fact tell her in real life that Walter died there, but she later said she kept up hope because a child who they thought was murdered there had been misidentified and later came forward. So she believed maybe her son was still out there alive and the police made a mistake.

[@oliviablackburn1113]

Me and my mom talked about this situation. Honestly I know everything about my son. He looks exactly like me. I know all of his quirks. I can’t imagine forgetting any of it. If someone brought me a child that looked a little like him but wasn’t him I’d know immediately. My son would know me. I feel so bad for her and the Anderson woman from the other story of the missing son. I’d be devastated.

[@slithra227]

Apparently she did know the night of but they forced her to keep him for those three weeks even though she kept showing them proof that he wasn't Walter

[@ghosttoast8610]

She knew,but they forced her to take him at least for a couple weeks

[@thefatherrabbit]

She did know but they convinced her to take him home and "try him out" for a couple weeks or something like that. Also Ryan had a point when he said that grief might make a mother try to convince herself that it is her son when it is not. I don't think that happened here but I do feel like that's what happened in the Bobby Dunbar case.

This was probably the most disturbing case of child abduction I've ever heard, poor Walter was kidnapped and abused emotionally, physically and sexually by Gordon and then was (probably) killed by Gordon's mother. And Gordon's mother was seemingly alright with Gordon abusing and molesting his sister's son, her OWN grandson. No wonder his sister wanted to get away as far away from them as possible. And Christine died with the hope her son was STILL alive somewhere alright. Heartbreaking.
