Описание: When my 3-year-old son went missing, my ex-husband told police, she's an unfit mother. Probably sold him for drug money. Officers believed him. My mother-in-law added, I always said she'd be the death of those kids. I just sat there shaking. Then my 7-year-old daughter took a deep breath and said, officer, should I show you where daddy really hid My little brother, police station went quiet.

 The fluorescent lights in the police station made everything look harsh and cold. I sat there with my hands folded in my lap, trying to stop them from shaking while my ex-husband Derek paced back and forth like he owned the place. His mother Constance sat across from me. Her lips pressed into that familiar thin line of disapproval she'd perfected over the years.

Officer Halstead was typing something on his computer, occasionally glancing up at me like I was some kind of criminal. She's lying about everything Derek said for the third time, his voice carrying that fake concern he'd mastered during our divorce proceedings. Check her bank records. You'll see she's been desperate for money.

Probably sold him to pay off her debts. My 7-year-old daughter Vera sat in the corner of the room on a plastic chair that was too big for her. She'd been so quiet that everyone seemed to have forgotten she was there. Her leg swung back and forth not quite reaching the floor, and she held her favorite stuffed rabbit tight against her chest.

Her eyes moved between all the adults in the room watching, listening, understanding more than anyone gave her credit for. I would never hurt my son. I said my voice cracking despite my efforts to stay strong. Jonah is only three years old. He's probably scared and confused, and we're wasting time sitting here while he's out there somewhere or you know exactly where he is.

Constance interjected her voice dripping with accusation. I always told Derek, you were unstable, always said you'd be the death of those kids. And now look what's happened. The words hit me like physical blows. This woman who had made every family gathering a battlefield. Who had whispered poison about me to anyone who would listen, was now using my missing baby as ammunition.

My sweet Jonah with his dark curls and infectious giggle, who just this morning had been playing with his toy dinosaurs and making them roar at his breakfast cereal Officer Halsted looked up from his computer. Mrs. Turner, we need you to understand the severity of this situation. Your son has been missing for three hours.

If you know anything about his whereabouts, now is the time to tell us. I've told you everything I said. Feeling the tears starting to burn behind my eyes. We were at Riverside Park. I answered one phone call from my brother about my father's surgery. It was maybe 90 seconds. When I looked back, the swing was empty.

Vera was still on the monkey bars, but Jonah was gone. Convenient. Derek muttered a phone call. Nobody else heard a mysterious disappearance. Nobody else saw. There were other parents there. They helped me search. Parents. You probably paid off Constance added, or friends you convinced to lie for you. The accusation was so absurd.

I almost laughed, but the situation was too serious. These people who were supposed to care about Jonah were more interested in destroying me than finding him. Every second. We sat here was another second. My baby was out there possibly hurt. Definitely frightened Mr. Turner. Officer Halsted addressed.

Derek, you filed an emergency custody petition yesterday, claiming your ex-wife threatened to disappear with the children. Can you elaborate on that? Derek's eyes lit up with satisfaction. She's been unstable since the divorce. Lost her job behind on Rent. Desperate. She told me she'd rather see the kids gone than let me have them.
