ABC News just confirmed the body found earlier tonite was Jessica's. I sure hope they have some leads/suspect(s). How senseless, she seemed like such a happy girl.
I hope it's not hers but then it w/b someone else's which is also very sad - it c/b they want to search the area for clues as the body was discovered last nite when it was dark (even w/ lights brought in to help etc), to do as thorough a search as possible (my understanding is the area is blocked off) - I cant imagine what her family is going thru.
I read that she walked about a block to meet her friends each morning and then they walked a mile to school.
That seems reasonable to me though clearly, it depends on the area.
I know the odds haven't changed from the 50's of your kid getting kidnapped, but I wouldn't allow a mile to school or anywhere. Especially if it was a regular route (ie. someone could be watching it happen daily and set something up).
My goal is not to be a helicopter parent, but that's just a little too far me at 10 years old, boys too.
Oh, my God. This is so sad. I pray for comfort for the little girl's parents.
