Update: They Think I Killed My Missing Son

[@prettyaltgirl]

I don’t understand how she was allowed to plea to a lesser charge of manslaughter WITHOUT disclosing the location of his body. How can you claim he’s deceased without remains? I hope this Momma receives some closure soon.

[@Tomtaylor7337]

Amen 🙏 This is heartbreaking 💔 you can tell she is struggling so much 😢

[@warbear3654]

America.. that's why

[@kara19999]

It's difficult to convict someone of murder without a body and cause of death. They probably thought manslaughter was the best conviction they could get. If she was charged with murder and lost, she would walk free.

Facts & 15 to 30 for a child is insane The "Step FAther " needs charges

[@CantHandleThisCanYa]

The stepfather who left the baby with the baby sitter should be charged with child endangerment or something similar. If he lied to the mother about where her child was going to be, and placed the child with the person that he may have known wasn't responsible or qualified... that could be considered a crime

Honey, my daughter is 25 years old now and the mere thought of losing her is as paralyzing now as it was when she was a little toddler….. This feeling you’re describing about you and your son, will never go away. And that’s okay. That’s how it’s supposed to feel. At least…. As long as you’re not thinking about these horrific things day in, day out. That would be both unhealthy as well as useless. Enjoy your beautiful boy!! Embrace every day and every moment, ‘cause trust me : you blink, and suddenly they’re all grown up…. But that special love, between you and your child… will NEVER go away!! ❤❤❤

Prayers for her and her family. That's crazy they haven't found the body, but saying he was murdered. Very odd they aren't trying to go after the step dad as well. Since the step dad was the one taking the child to that woman without telling the childs mother for 2 years. He should be facing several charges.

[@vickylunson1603]

Why do I get a strong feeling that the babysitter is lying about disposing the little ones body. I'm getting a sinking feeling that Amber is right for thinking her son is still alive. The sinking feeling I have is that the babysitter might have given him to someone or even sold him to someone in exchange for something else. ie:drugs or alcohol or anything else she required... I don't understand if she disposed of him the way it was said, why didn't she tell the authorities where she left the rubbish/trash bag containing the little one... Such a hard, sad thing for Amber and her family to have to go through all this time 💔
