Children Found Dead in Trunk in Salt River Community

Two children, ages 4 and 6, were found dead by their mother in the locked trunk of a car on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, which is located east of Scottsdale, Ariz., according to an Associated Press piece published on Aug. 6. Salt River Spokeswoman Janet Johnson said the mother found the children on Saturday evening, but she did not confirm the name of the mother or details about the children because the case is under investigation. Autopsy results are pending. During the summer months, daytime average high temperatures in the community range above the 100-degree mark.

  1. How is it that a mother does not know where her kids are for the whole day?? Especially a 6 and a 4 year old? I am sorry but I have two children who are 10 and 8, but I have to know where they are at all times, even whent they go outside to play....when it gets too quiet I know something is up and I go looking for them....I know it is a tragedy to lose a child, but what happened could have been prevented.

  3. Don't judge others until you've taken a good look at yourself and stripped away the justifications.

    What about all the missing kids all over the country? Based on the above comments, maybe no one's looking for them either... and maybe we all feel so sad but aren't doing anything to help out and make a difference.
