Cold Case last night

oh man ! i missed Cold Case! i love love love that programme, will have to see if that episode is one of the ones DP downloaded.

Emma, have you seen the episode in the first season "fly away" to this day i cant hear the instrumental version of "heaven" without picturing the mother jumping out the window with her little girl , (theres a big reason behind it but...) oh my , so sad.

I think if the boy was cared for well , and loved thats all that should matter, and a couple that kidnaps isnt so great already.
Except in the case of the movie "gone baby gone" which none of you need to see , but has similar scenario, except she would be better off with the kidnappers, but none of you, if you havent already , need to see it,cos its not very nice ( bluntly , they show a dead 7 year old in the bath ) and besides its long.

oh youtube the ending to "fly away" wont show everything (since its the ending) but will give you the gist of it .

Yeah , i remember the death row one , some of them are so sad ....

I sat there sobbing my little heart out!

Totally random and OT but was the girl who played the mother, Maggie from The Nanny?

Yes saw it...really like the programme. I was watching on Crime Investigation about a story where a mother thought she has lost her newborn baby in a fire. She was adamant that the baby didn't die but had no proof other than her mothers intuition. A couple of years later at a family get together she saw a lady there with a child who she was sure was her, but didn't know how to prove it. They eventually did a DNA test and found that it was her baby. The lady who stole the baby set it all up to make it look like a baby had died as she wanted to steal the child (she couldn't have anymore). Amazing story, go mothers intuition.

I found that the Cold Case story was sort of similar to this one

I watched the last 10 minutes and bawled and bawled man it was so sad.

It was certainly moving. The end with her holding out the flower to little boy.... bawled.

I have to say, as soon as they realised her kid wasnt the one that died in the fire, I guessed right off the social worker took him. Her story made me bawl too....

Desperate women huh!

I didnt know there was more to that one!!! Man, I want to see the end!!!!! I will PM you what happened.

I watched it and bawled my eyes out too. The parents were so out of line trying to convince her to put him up for adoption when she came to them for help. They could have taken him in themselves if they felt she wasn't managing while she sorted herself out. The cops pointed out to the social worker and her husband that they must've seen how loved he was because of how his cot/room was decorated and even his shirt had 'my mommy loves me' on it. The clip of them kidnapping him showed them looking clearly doubting whether they'd made the right decision.

And yes, I agree Emma, its about loving your child and doing the best you can with what you have rather than giving them 'the best' of everything (materially).

I watch it all the time! I cold case, and yes I was blubbering I am sure my preggie hormaones are still alive and strong (and no I am not pregie!)
