Endangered Alert:Missing 6 Month Old And His Nanny
Anyone WIth Information Is Asked To Please Call Miami-Dade Crimestoppers (305) 471-TIPS

Riley, who is about a foot tall, white, with a single tooth, was last seen wearing a white onesie with blue jeans. His hair is in a mohawk style, he has one tooth, and a fake tattoo on his left arm of an anchor

[graywarrior]

1. I think I know him

[leftstreet]

7. ROFL

:spank:

:rofl:

[BrklynLiberal]

26. Amazing. when they find him we will have to come back and check the pic.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ogneopasno]

2. Sad yet awesome all at once. I have to say, though, I've had my kids in outfits/getups and if they

had been kidnapped in them, I would have looked like the most neglectful/odd/trashy mom ever. Sometimes it happens.

[SharonAnn]

3. 1 ft. tall is really small for a human baby. Even newborns are often over 20 inches.

[John Q. Citizen]

5. I was thinking the same thing

[Sal Minella]

15. At six months the legs are still folded up most of the time -- I doubt that 12" is the extended

length of the child and/or somebody is not good at estimating length.

[TahitiNut]

17. It's strange to see the word "tall" used for an infant. (I've only heard "long" used.)

... like THAT'S what's bizarre about this story. Yikes.

[LisaL]

19. The kid is 6 month old.

[LiberalHeart]

24. Check this link ... it says he was 1'6" ... not 1'

http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PubCaseSearchServlet?act=viewChildDetail&LanguageCountry=en_US&searchLang=en_US&caseLang=en_US&orgPrefix=NCMC&caseNum=1112649&seqNum=1

Still seems small for six months.

Oh, and at that link it says he weighs 28 lbs. But the Miami Herald says he weighs 11 pounds. Can't believe he'd weigh so little.

[Liberal_in_LA]

30. he's 6 months old, he surely can't weigh 28 pounds.

[Maine-ah]

36. my daughter is two and weighs 25 lbs.

she's wicked small, but I am not even 5 feet tall. She's in the 25th percentile for her age group. She's about 32".

[BrklynLiberal]

27. You are right! My son was 21 inches at birth!!

[MichaelHarris]

4. that little SOB

asked me for a quarter and then pulled a blade on me.

[madeline_con]

6. "The nanny is about 20 to 30 year old with an unknown last name .."

The parents are idiots. That's really sad.

OR...

they've been in a cave, and have never heard of Caylee Anthony, and don't know how badly the "missing kid and babysitter" story is received by normal intelligent people.

[Liberal_in_LA]

8. babysitter was running late, mom let her keep baby til next day. WTF?

parents were a little lax in the keep-track-of-baby department:

Hours later, she sent another message that she was running late and stuck in traffic. Eventually, McCormick had to leave her home, and said she would await Camille's coming over later the next day.

[LisaL]

10. The parents apparently don't know the nanny's last name either.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. at minimum for housesitting, pet sitting, babysitting, look at a photo ID.

[yardwork]

32. I have a bad feeling that the nanny doesn't exist.

[LisaL]

35. Apparently not just the nanny. No baby either.

[Gormy Cuss]

38. So do I.

What a creepy set of details -- babysitter just happened to move down from Boston, couple didn't know her last name, etc. The only other explanation that occurs to me is that "Camille" is the birth mother and the couple didn't legal adopt the child.

[yardwork]

31. Sounds bad. I hope that baby is ok but I have a bad feeling.

[NYC_SKP]

9. HERE is his pic, he's a cutie!!!

.

.

But he looks like trouble!

[Qanisqineq]

11. what a weird story

A baby that is only 12"? The parents didn't know the nanny's last name? The parents didn't get worried when the nanny couldn't bring him home? The kid disappeared on November 23rd -- I'm sure any fake tattoo is long gone if he's still alive.

[LisaL]

13. I doubt the kid is 1 foot tall.

That would make for a really tiny kid.

[carpe diem]

14. I don't have kids so maybe i don't understand...

...but, is it usual for parents to NOT KNOW the last name, or age, or home address of the person you leave your child with?

[madeline_con]

16. No it is not. Theses are some negligent parents!

Geesh, they might as well have taped a sign on the little guy saying, "Please take me."

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. If I'm reading the story right, the nanny cares for the boy at her house, so the parents have NEVER

visited the place where their child is taken. That is very neglectful, IMHO. But I hope the boy is found safe.

[LisaL]

20. The parents also apparently do not know her last name.

She is described as being between 20 to 30 years old- hello, that's a big range.
And driving red Acura with possibly MA plates? Possibly?

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. She babysat for them in two states, they didn't bother to get last name in either.

amazing.

[LisaL]

22. Nor the car license plate, nor apparently the exact home

address, nor the exact age.

[madeline_con]

43. Latest in the case...

[Vickers]

23. "The nanny (snip) speaks with a heavy French accent."

Well, naturally.

:eyes:

[PDJane]

25. Right.

That has to be one of the oddest stories ever........and there is something not quite right with the child's parents.

[BrklynLiberal]

28. Definitely a very porous story here. Makes me wonder if ANYBODY has EVER seen this Nanny.

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. mom says nanny called her from car, nanny MUST have a cell phone that can be tracked.

[firedupdem]

33. Not only do they not know the nanny's last name, address, or

where she lives, they also say she's 20-30 yrs old? Come on!!! They need to lock them both up right now...I bet we'll figure out where the baby is then.

[LisaL]

34. As it turns out, allegedly not only the nanny in this story is fake,

but also the baby.
"NO NANNY AND NO BABY

It turns out there is no Camille and there is no Riley.

Miami police said Friday that the whole story was fabricated by the woman who claimed to be the missing child's mother.

That woman, Megan McCormick, has now been charged with filing a false police report."

http://wbztv.com/local/missing.boy.hoax.2.895156.html

Apparently there is no 1 foot tall missing baby (who is either 11 or 28 pounds) with one tooth and a fake tattoo of an anchor.
We can all rest easy.

[Medusa]

39. what kind of sick fuck

makes up a story about a missing baby....and doesn't have a baby?

[shadowknows69]

42. I should hope not

It's a description of Popeye for fuck's sake.

[peekaloo]

37. sounds like Sweet Pea.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

40. Or Alice the Goon.

[shadowknows69]

41. Thank you for not making me the only one who had Popeye um.pop into their head.
