what kind of parent would let their baby sleeps alone

I've read this whole thread many times - the original poster is a MORON... And for those who are STILL refusing to educate themselves on facts -which have been in the public domain for a LONG TIME - heres just a few.

On the night of August 17 1980 500+ campers were present at the Top Camping Area @ Uluru - it was a typically BUSY night. Less than 10m from the BBQ area where Lindy, Michael and Aidan (age 6) were having dinner with another family, Reagan - then aged 4 - was sleeping next to his sister when she was taken. At the time he was woken up by "something" walking over his back - a combination of his young age, the obvious effects of this trauma, and the then police policy not to use the statements of children under the age of ten were just some of the reasons why he was never given a chance to acurately describe what he had experienced. Both children witnessed enough to damage them for life - Reagan endured nightmares and "sleep talking" for many years - which was also witnessed by his babysitters and others who knew that this little boy could of easily been the "prey" - as were the six children who were attacked by dingo's in the two years before Azaria was taken AND in the case of Clinton Gage - aged 8 - who was killed by a dingo on Fraser Island in 2000...

Within minutes of hearing Lindy scream Azaria had been taken most of the entire population of holidaymakers - not one ever questioned what they saw with their own eyes - dropped what they were doing and started up the search parties - well before the police even got there. Most had never met the family, but had seen dingo's near the BBQ area that night - and a few heard dingo's growling just minutes before the tragedy. Several searchers and Aboriginal trackers followed the tracks leading from the tent and down towards the Rock. Azaria's very damaged clothes were found the following week - again by someone who had never known the family - 4km from the camp ground - near a dingo lair that had not been previously identified.

Evil Angels is based on the John Bryson book that was written while Lindy was in jail. No royalties - or much truth - from the book were directed at the Chamberlains themselves, and the rights to the movie were his to sell. Lindy had no say in what was written in the book, but was consulted by the production company on her experiences for athentication purposes.

Ignorance is bliss - but knowledge is power - and those who dont KNOW or have the brains to see the fact that a beautiful little girl was taken by a dingo and then the police bungling, media scrum and a nation of gossipers took it to the next horrible level only have themselves to blame. 30 years on, anyone who doesnt want to know the truth should just let their ignorance carry them under a bus. Lindy and her family are SURVIVORS of the biggest judicial stuff up in Australia's history, and when Azaria's death certificate is corrected in the new inquest later this year, there will be NO excuses for anyone to judge what they dont know, attack what they werent a part of or criticise a bloody gutsy woman for not bowing down when she was so very wrongly branded.

Personally, I have never met Lindy, but I am proud to count Reagan Chamberlain as my friend, and I could NOT look into his eyes - or have him in my home - knowing that I read this entire thread which is contaminated by such cruelty and silliness and then say I did nothing about it. If you want to stay dumb then fine - but dont leave your stupidity plastered on the net for people like my FRIEND to read and wonder why you are like that. Thank God he is strong enough to laugh at stupidity - I am getting there. But lets just think about what we're doing here people okay. This family has been through enough - this wasnt "just another Hollywood movie" story - this really happened - and it still hurts all inovlved EVERY DAY.

We'd go camping in the Smokies and got left in tents quite a bit as kids. Bears were around, but...

I guess, as one person put it, that what's they were used to.

Well considering the number of dingo attacks prior to the event think of you and your family lucky.

Getting sick and tired of listening to morons saying "well I was there a couple of months ago and nothing happened to me". Next time you hear of a shark attack off an Australian beach I'm sure there would be someone stupid enough to make such a comment. God save us from morons who disregard someone's misfortune becuase it didn't happen to THEM.

There was some debate as to whether it was taken by a wild dog or a semi domesticated dog. The Australian wild dog, known as a dingo, is the same kind of dog as the Carolina dog of the United States and the Jingo of Korea. It was originally a primitive dog that accompanied Aboriginals when they crossed what was then a land bridge from Asia to Australia. Being bigger and more aggressive than the local marsupial predators it gradually took over the mainland, leaving only Tasmania to the marsupial predators.
