i dont know what i think about this tbh. its been 3wks now and i would be absolutely doing anything i could do to find my child whether i believed she was alive or not but then again, if i had other children as well, i would have to think of them as well instead of taking them all over town esp at such a young age.

Yeah, i agree, i don't really know what to think of it either. In one way you can understand that she's got a 5wk old to look after and a 2yr old but in another way, wouldn't you be trying to do just the littlest bit?? Something?? I can't say how she's feeling or what she's doing but by the sounds of that article, it makes out that it's only been the step dad to help in searches and stuff and not her.

I know if it was me, i'd be out there whenever i could helping in any way possible, but it's easier saying that in the comfort of my home knowing my son is safe and my life's not turned upside down. Don't get me wrong, im not defending her, i personally think she's guitly as sin, but im just trying to see both sides of the argument.

I feel for her. I really do.

Looking after a newborn and a toddler while dealing what I would imagine to be constant anxiety, complete lack of sleep/rest, panic attacks, that lump in your throat when you've lost something/someone dear, nightmares, uncertainty and on top of that - knowing that an entire nation is judging her without having even met her.

I'd probably be a hermit too. I'd be scared to death. I'm not sure I'd even be capable of taking care of my other kids if my first born went missing...so I'm certainly not going to judge this poor woman :(

People cope in different ways.

i dont have alot to think on the case really. i dont know whether it was the parents or not. what i do believe in though is that little K isnt alive anymore and i do hope her body is found as then i am sure many questions will be answered.

Are there other ppl still searching? If there is I don't imagine there's really anything they can do, assuming they're innocent that is. If it were me I guess I'd be too grief stricken to do anything really.

Did anyone else hear how some psychic aboriginal elder (I think) sensed what she thought was Kiesha's body in a reserve and ended up discovering the torso of a missing sydney mum? Spooky... ETA :doh: Just saw they mention the body being found, in the article!

If that was my baby missing I would have my 5 month old in a sling and my 2 year old in a pram and I would be out there doing whatever I could to help find her. There is no way on earth I would even be able to sit at home..... I would be out there day and night searching for her :confused: Even if there was no hope, her body has not been found and there is no way I could stop looking

I can sort-of understand why the mum is at home with the new baby, but I really can't see why the dad isn't out there searching 24/7?

She complains that she can't take her kids to the park or the shops, and that also makes no sense to me - a visit to the park would be the last thing on my mind!

It is quite common for parents with a child who went missing from their home to not want to leave the house at all. They live in hope that the child will return to the house and they worry about not being home if it happens.

I have seen stories of missing children where the parents would not even move decades later still holding on to the hope that the child will return to the home.

I think we need to keep this in mind before we rush to criticise a mother going through her worst ever nightmare which has become true.

In that time wasn't their house being searched and police staying there? I don't know if she's had anything to do with the disappearance but I must ask, whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Not only is thus woman dealing with the loss of a child but she's doing so while being tried in the court of public opinion. She probably needs support and compassion, not judgement.

So if the mother was experiencing what Amara suggested surely the fact police were searching her home for clues wouldn't be enough to make her move to a motel iykwim. If you see my first post in this thread
Are there other ppl still searching? If there is I don't imagine there's really anything they can do, assuming they're innocent that is. If it were me I guess I'd be too grief stricken to do anything really. I think you'll notice I'm not judging her guilty for not leaving the house, I was just disagreeing with Amara's theory as to why the mother hasn't joined the search party.

I don't think I could possibly contain myself- I think I'd have to look. I'd want to be the first one on the scene- a familar face if she is found alive (which I'd imagine you'd still hope against all odds), a last cuddle before ascending to heaven. I don't think I could sit inside.

I don't really have an opinion on whether the family did it or not but either way- my heart goes out to them. At best, they've lost a gorgeous little girl, and at worst- they've lost so much more.

Poor little Kiesha.

Well I think the whole story is super fishy! Poor little girl. I am certainly not going to bring in the firing squad on her though - remember Lindy Chaimberlin...
I don't know how I would cope if I were in her situation. I think I would be so physically ill, that part of me thinks I would probably be sedated somewhere in a mental unit, but on the other hand I would be so distraught that I would simply HAVE to do something to find him...

It certainly isn't something I would wish on my worst enemy. What an awful thing!

How does anyone know what they'd do in that situation?

It's kinda Like lindy champerlain. People assumed she was guilty because she wasn't responding how you'd expect someone to react.

I don't know. But nobody does.

And as a lovely thought that must be that you'd be the first face she saw- she's not wandering around in the bush after this long. I don't know if I could join the search for jaspers body. :no: I honestly doubt it.

If she's alive she's been kidnapped. So searching on foot with a 5 week old and toddler there's nothing that she could do to help.

I hope this little girl is found :(

But, you see- this is logical thinking. I doubt that I'd be thinking logically- I'd be hoping against the odds (meaning that evidence/statistics/logic would tell me otherwise) that they were found. I'd be channelling the Jassie Dugart (sp?) girl. Oh, and remember that Lindy Chamberlain claimed she saw the Dingo take her baby meaning to some extent knew the outcome.

Out of everything that was stated in the most recent article, this was the thing that stood out the most to me:

A few suburbs away police were making a desperate plea for information as they unveiled a mannequin dressed in clothes identical to those of her missing child Kiesha.
It was a last-ditch effort to find the six-year-old, 18 days after she went missing from her home in Mt Druitt in Sydney's west.
Homicide detectives said Ms Abrahams and her partner Robert Smith were asked to be part of the renewed appeal for information but the pair said they were "busy".

WTF? Umm, your little girl is missing and you are too "busy" to do another appeal to the public for information?

I know it's not even remotely close as a comparison, but whenever my pets have gone missing I've been completely unable to go and look for them in case I find them dead on the road. I'd rather not know (or have someone else look for me) than have my worst fears confirmed right in front of me.

Her first born didnt go missing he passed away to cot death at 6wks ld and was born 16months before KIESHA, if the step father loved Kiesha as his own child then he could be helping search or her..........
I guess its just how she must have been to busy to notice Kiesha missing until 10am in the morning and cant say for sure if Kiesha did/didnt have shoes on and also the door wasnt ajar when she noticed Kiesha missing.....


I feel for her. I really do.

I also find it disturbing that they were "too busy" to do another public appeal.:confused:
If it was my child...well maybe I couldnt search for the body..but I would be waiting at home,I would have everyone I know helping in the search,and I would be begging to be on the news anytime I could to make a desperate plea to help find my baby.

Surely the police can question other pyschics to help find her???

Wow :( I didn't know about that.

This just makes me stand by what I said even more. The grief of losing a newborn to cot death...I can't even imagine that :no: This poor woman has been through so much.

I can totally understand if she was too busy to notice Kiesha wasn't missing until 10am the next day with a newborn and toddler to look after.

I hope this little girl is found soon.

Its so hard to remain non judgemental in this case.

No matter what , the truth is Kieshas's life was not so good before she went missing.

I have to admit the mother rubs me the wrong way, but that doesnt mean she hurt her....

The whole case is just so unbelievably sad.

Boobycino
20-08-2010, 11:55
I have a question /comment.

Is the issue with her being 'too busy' that the assumption is she was involved in her' daughters disapearance? That admittedly is in the back of my mind with regards to the rumour that Keisha hasn't been seen for weeks before she was reported missing?

But if she's innocent, has no involvement with her daughters disappearance... I don't even want to imagine what Shea going through and it's shocking that anyone would feel anything but deepest sympathy and concern for this mother.

How she's coping or not coping or dealing or not dealing with it isn't for speculation.

I mean - my dad didn't cry about losing their first baby till what would have been her18th birthday and he just broke down (bit confronting for me as he was a single parent of me at the time I was 12 and just had no idea how to comfort him when 18 years of grief came out... But his baby died in his arms and he didn't cry for 18 years. I mean people could have thought he was a monster hey? But it was just how he got on with life.

People cope with trauma and grief differently.

Like I said before, Im not about to bring out the firing squad...public opinion against Lindy Chaimberlin was so strong and she was wrongly ( I strongly believe) convicted
but
this whole case does not sit right with me at all and I just hope that the little girl can be layed to rest soon.

I certainly feel for anyone in that position though, including these parents because frankly I have to hope that they are innocent until proven guilty.


I can totally understand if she was too busy to notice Kiesha wasn't missing until 10am the next day with a newborn and toddler to look after.


See I find that hard to get my head around; it's not that I can't believe it but that if that is true and assuming that as a family they are up around 7am, that is 3 hours of not missing one of your children, not to mention why had NO ONE seen her for 2, or was it 3 weeks prior...

I think you are wonderful, being nonjudgmental and compassionate, HOWEVER any family who doesn't notice their daughter missing until 10am has serious issues!!!

Pinkzy
20-08-2010, 15:56
I see where you're both coming from...

However I do understand it. What if she has PND? What if she was really sleep deprived that particular day? She might of had a whole lot of other stuff going on other than looking after two young kids. I've never looked after a toddler and a baby at the same time...so I really don't know how hard that is? Is it possible she thought Kiesha was still sleeping or something?

I just don't think her mum is guilty or is lying about anything...just my gut instinct I suppose.

20-08-2010, 16:00

i feel the same way. that little girl was known to child services, no one had seen her for 3 weeks before she went missing and she has only been to school a handful of times this year.

whether her parents had anything to do with her going missing/death I don't know but i have a feeling that her parents, particularly her mother, knows more than she is letting on.

I think the parents are too busy to look for her,coz they know what happened to her...
I do not understand how you couldnt notice your kid missing.My kids are always up early,if not I check on them.Even when I get up for work at 5am,I poke my head in on my 4yo sleeping.I think its pretty impossible to NOT notice your kid until 10am.
Even being sleep deprived....

I don't know all the media has reported on this case and do not have an opinion one way or the other other than obviously this is sooo sad so terrible and I wouldn't wish this circumstance on anyone.

The only thing I do feel hasn't been mentioned to give balance and objective to this sad story is that regardless of guilt or innocence the media is ruthless they do not care what the family is going through call day and night wanting any comment they can print and make a story out of.

My cousin went missing years ago, he was bushwalking in Tasmania and my aunt and uncle were put through hell by the media ringing at all hours trying to twist a story knocking on their door trying to get a photo to make a story and my cousins memorial service was a sad reality we had to face as a family who could do nothing to try find him beyond trust in the professional volunteers and police etc that they were doing all they could the day my mum returned home from his memorial some 5 weeks after he went missing we got the news he walked out of the bush, thin, frail but ALIVE 37 days after he went in for a 3 day hike.

The media reported how he went in unprepared and was reckless for going alone etc what they failed to mention was he was army trained and specialised in bush survival he DID register his hike with family friends and authorities (ie that's how we knew he was missing when he didn't contact on day he was supposed too) he did have enough camping gear warm clothes etc but naturally he didn't have enough food cause he didn't plan to get lost (who would pack 37 days food for a 3 day hike?).... But it is not always as the media reports... Keep that in mind when reading these stories about this family....

If anything happened to my children and media got hold of our life story it could be easily made sound like we are bad people or were suspicious if they wanted to. Ie. We are a blended family, my son has changed schools many times, my hubby suffered severe depression causing us to separate, we are a family that likes to keep to ourselves.... Yes all could sound bad if you didn't add the other side of the story of my hubby and I both were single parents when we met are madly deeply in love and all our kids get along better than alot of full blood siblings I have met, we have wonderful kids that are well mannered and behaved, we are blessed to have travel a bit (hence changing schools), we seperated while my husband got successful treatment to beat his depression. So any story can be made sound bad if you don't look at ALL the facts!

The ONLY thing that this poor woman is guilty of - until tried in a court of law - is behaving differently to how we all think we MIGHT act in similar circumstances

IMO until there is a body or a witness or evidence to the contry this mother is innocent and this little girl is lost or taken

Until I have lived this poor lady's life I cannot even begin to understand her actions or reactions.

I understand the police hold little hope of a positive outcome, but I contiue to hold hope and withhold my judgement

Having a 6 week old, an almost 2 yr old a 3yr old and two 5 year olds.... I can say..... it would be IMPOSSIBLE not to notice a child missing until 10am.

Even a very self reliant and late sleeping child would have emerged to eat something before 10am.

And honestly, a 2yr old and a 5week old is not that hard to manage that you'd get so caught up you wouldn't notice another child missing.

You'd notice there was no fighting first and foremost.....

I couldn't begin to speculate on what might be 'normal' behaviour for someone who has lost a child in these circumstances. I cannot even begin to try and comprehend what might be gonig through your head, losing a child and giving birth to one in the same month. So I am keeping an open mind on that score.

I will be honest and say I think they know she is dead.

But the police have been through that house repeatedly with every forensic tool invented and found nothing... so nobody can say and it's got a point where speculation is pointless.

I guess I am a little sensitive about this as on my previous baby forum there was a very highly publicised case involving death that turned out to involve a mum off our forum. It was a horrendous realisation for us all when someone pointed out she was a member and started quoting her posts from a much happier time. The mods had a very busy day that day putting out that fire.

Look at the majority of the responses in this thread. If this is a representation of the majority of how the Australian public feel could you blame this family for not wanting to put their face on television anymore or leave their house.

There have been so many cases where people have not reacted the way society expects them to so the conclusion is made that they are guilty. Look at Lindy Chamberlin who spent time in prison for something she didn't do because she was not only persecuted by the Australian public but the legal system based on her demeanour. Look at the abuse she had hurled at her when people had decided she was guilty.

I don't think it's fair for any of you to speculate especially as another poster has said that this poor woman could be reading this. You have no right to dictate how this woman should feel or react because you are not her and it is not happening to you.

If I was accused of doing something to my child I would be doing everything I could to prove my innocence and if that meant being all over the tv then that's what I'd do.
Also being to busy is not good enough, I would have someone watch the younger kids while I was out there looking.

It's all well and good to say that but we can't know what this mum is going through.

And you can't know that's what you'd do unless you'd been there.

And I'm fairly certain (though don't know) but proving my innocence to a judging public when my baby is missing would be the least of my concerns.

And maybe I'm wrong, but it would take a stronger person than me to go out looking for a body. :no:

*IF* my child was missing, I can tell you what I THINK I would do.

MOTH has been involved in a few searchs where children have been missing - and no two set people/parents do the same thing.

We only know what we THINK we would do and assume all people are the same.


Whilst Lindy Chameberlain's tragedy was many years ago, it's less than 12 months ago a woman was arrested and locked in a pysch hospital when every one though she'd killed her sons - they died from a faulty gas appliance.

the more i watch of her, the more i feel bad for her.

She is obviously not a public person and doesnt cope well in the limelight.

I know people like that.

I dont know, kieshas life was crap before she went missing and i CAN judge on that but i dont know what happened and this woman is dealign with it the best she can i guess.

Its happened to so many women..
Lindy Chamberlain - didnt show enough emotion

Joanne Lees was accused of being a cold fish so therefore she killed her BF.

Madeline McCann's mum admitted to finding the girl difficult at times so was found guilty by the public.

I think we just need to lay off and wait for hard evidence.

I don't know what I would do in this situation but I am not sure that I could let my other kids out of my sight either.
It also raises questions what would happen if the mother or father did find the child (or even worse the childs body) as part of one of these searches I think it would raise more questions did they really find the child or did they "find" the child I couldn't imagine anything worse than finding the body of a child let alone your own child.
I agree with AsaBusymum everyone copes in their own way and until there is evidence of wrong doing or anythign illegal speculation doesn't help anyone!

If that was my baby missing I would have my 5 month old in a sling and my 2 year old in a pram and I would be out there doing whatever I could to help find her. There is no way on earth I would even be able to sit at home..... I would be out there day and night searching for her :confused:


I just said exactly the samething to my DH, who agreed :yes:

In times of stress and anxiety the press and other people would be the least of my worries. At least while they are talking about Keisha she is still fresh on peoples minds if she does turn up :(
