five year old missing!!

[Jem_x3]

I cant imagine what her parents are feeling, it must of been the longest week of their lives.

At the suggestion of someone on another forum, me and my children now have a secret word that is not to be shared with anyone but us. If I send anyone to pick them up or get them, then they are to ask the secret word, if they dont know it then they must not go and must come to me immediately.

Oh bless, that's a good idea. Can't do it with mine as she can barely remember the name of her own nose Not that she will be anywhere without me for a long time.

It's heartbreaking April's parents can't have any closure. I hope they find her very soon and whoever did this is bought to justice fast. I think until then they won't really be able to grieve

Jem, cute about not remembering the name of her nose. Morgan is almost eight and a half, and realistically at some point in the not too distant future I will have to let him have more and more freedom, it scares me but it has to be done. It is around nine or ten that most abductions happen I think, as this is when children become more independant isnt it?

Honestly, I dont think they are going to find her now And then her family will always cling to a little bit of hope.

we have a secret word for school pick ups too. I even went in this morning and hassled the deputy head checking all systems in place to make sure NO ONE can pick up my son without the secret word, they are to call me if anyone does turn up and then we will go from there. It may sound OTT but I dont care what she thinks as long as she makes sure its all in place and she assures me it is.

still lighting my candles for little April xx

Tasha, I cant ever imagine letting matthew out my sight. I hate it! But I know what you mean. One day they have to have that freedom.

 

[Tasha]

That is exactly how I feel MF.

At dd1 preschool they give you the 'password' if you are sending someone else to pick them up. The only time the password isn't needed is if they know the person picking them up ie grandparent etc, but you have to tell them in advance otherwise they won't let them take them. I really hope they find her soon, her family have been thru' enough xx

 

[Tasha]

Yeah they have that here too. I am talking about if I ever send them to a friends house or out to play etc, then we now have a secret word incase any one says your Mummy said to bring you home or whatever.

I guess so. My sister is 12 and my mum doesn't let her go very far by herself which she hates. Though she does always have her friends round etc. I think she will be found eventually, I hope for her parents sake they do. I don't know what's worse, never knowing and holding onto hope or knowing..

Still can't believe they haven't found her.

Could be wrong but I think his reaction says it all that he is guilty.
I was thinking the same, of course I understand why but it must be torture for Aprils family still hanging on to little hope xx

 

[welshcowgirl]

Just read the link. If he was crying why the hell doesnt he just say where she is!!!! I cant believe that was it really, and it continues on wednesday.

Sorry I kinda got the wrong end of the stick! I think its a good idea, although (hopefully) it will be a long way off before I have to do the same x

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

why wont he just say?

 

[lhancock90]

Personally, i think he has said that he left her in the river, but obviously with the current, he can't say exactly where she is now.



I can't comprehend how they are feeling.

xx

 

[Tasha]

Yeah Jem, I'm gonna be like that with them but you don't have to go far to be snatched do you? I think he will be going to school on his own when he is eleven (secondary school).

Yeah I'm slightly envious that it's not something some of you have to think about for a while, lucky Yem.

I don't think crying confirms his guilt. In fact I think guilty people are the ones who usually how no/little motion.

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I think I will drive mine to school when in secondary! x

Forgive me for this but.. this is what makes me think this was a spur of the moment thing. That he didn't have 'that' sordid motive but now regrets what happened. An accident maybe? Maybe it went too far and he felt like he couldn't get out of it? Speculation of course.. just something that's been on my mind. Not that it makes it okay, obviously. Just a thought.

Funny the Wales online link says he was sobbing

The daily mail reported he was 'on the verge' of tears

 

[Jade--x]

Call me totally ditzy maybe its wrote wrong but its a quote so you'd think it would be accurate?

The full charges read to Bridger were: "First charge, on the*30th of September 2012, and 3rd October 2012, at Machynlleth, you murdered April Sue Lyn Jones, contrary to common law.

How can they say on the 30th AND 3rd she can't have been murdered twice? And how do they know the exact day of which he murdered her unless he's confessed? I don't like reading into this kind of stuff you reach a million and one different conclussions but what they've quoted doesn't make any sense?

And I agree the ones that don't show emotion seem more guilty to me though I suppose everyone deals with the situation differently.

Yes.. apparently someone threw a shoe or bottle at the van aswell He is pretty much Britain's most hated man at the moment and he hasn't even been convicted. It's sad how angry people are, and how emotional it has made them, I don't blame them at all. Though, I do think a bit of discretion should be shown though as they could end up hurting someone who was not an intended target. Poor April's godmother apparently burst into tears as the van passed
