Brooke Chase, Thea’s mother, said she had an instinct to check on her daughter who had been playing in the yard, and learned the toddler’s uncle told Thea to go inside because she had no shoes on.
When Chase and her brother-in-law realized Thea wasn’t in the house, she said she began to yell. They searched for about 20 minutes before calling Chase’s husband and police.
I’m curious what her mother and uncle were doing while her dad is away and she was playing alone in the yard. Where I live, kids that age have been attacked by coyotes, even when supervised, and that’s in a suburb of a major city, not rural Michigan.
The dog is possibly the responsible parent here.
I don't think she was playing alone in the yard. The uncle was there and told her to go inside and she ignored him. As for coyotes, with a rottie and springer in the yard, no coyote would be an issue.
However, if you tell the kid to go inside by their mom, tell the mom that you did so. Uncle was a dumb shit. You can't count on a three year old to do as they're told.
