As punishment, 3 year old Sherin Mathews, was left to wait alone in the late hours of the night for refusing to drink her milk and is now missing.
Wesley Mathews, father of Sherin Mathews, admitted to local authorities that he left her near an alley as " punishment " over milk dispute. According to reports he returned 15 minutes later to notice the 3 year old missing and didn't call the police till 5 hours later. Strange isn't it ?
Little Sherin Mathews has developmental issues and limited communication skills according to a release from Richardson Police Department. Due to negligence of the father, the family only goes on to suffer more heartache. On top of the ongoing search, a 4 year old was also taken from the family and placed in foster care. It was stated in the reports that the family has had prior contact with family services but does not go into detail as to why contact was made.
Wesley Mathews was arrested later that night for child endangerment charges, but he was then released on a $250,000 bond. During questioning, Wesley Mathews also told police he left in an area popular to coyotes. Some argue this was all premeditated and after reviewing details it's hard to argue otherwise. One thing is certain though, a young girl is missing and a family is broken.
I also read in the article that police have discontinued an Amber Alert due to insufficient evidence. If you live in the Texas area and have any information, contact local police at 972-744-4800.
Is it worth hiring a True Detective?
This took place from my neck of the woods in Richardson, but I was in San Antonio when the Amber Alert was sent, and everyone's smart phones simultaneously went off in the hotel lobby I was in.
FUCK this, I don't want to know anything anymore. This is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me, 'Time is a flat circle.' Everything we've ever done or will do we're gonna do over and over and over again. And that little girl or that little boy or that family, they're gonna be in danger again and again and again forever.

I am not far away either. Each time I receive an amber alert, I immediately go and read it. Truly sad. It doesn't add up... you never ever punish a child in such a way. To top it off she has developmental issues. Parents like this should not be allowed to procreate!

As a father I can't imagine that anyone in their right mind would put a child of just three years old outside, on her own, unsupervised. Nobody would do that.
Why did the father point out to the police that he lives in an area popular with coyotes? If there were such animals around, there is even more reason not to put her outside late at night!
Perhaps the police were not thinking that the poor little girl had might have been dragged off and eaten, so the father thought it best to give them a clue.
Policeman: "Coyotes? Don't they eat babies? Oh my God, that must be what happened to the poor girl. We never thought of that possibility. Silly us, for suspecting the father all along. Oh well, that's another mystery solved. Case closed".

Something very strange about the voting here. This story has had 199 votes, but only 46 page views. (you can see the number of page views by looking at the little eye next to the box showing the number of comments.
In other words, there is an army of bots trying to game the system and milk the rewards by voting everything directly on the blockchain, and never even visiting this page.

According to the video it was 3AM when he put her outside. He came back 15 minutes later, but didn’t start looking for her until 8 AM next morning.

Its not the right way of disciplining the child that you left her outside for just not drinking the milk? They will just impart hatred to their child and later on she will seek revenge when she grow old.
They should show love to their child and explain why she nees to drink milk and let her understand the benefits of milk to her. In this way, the child will voluntarily drink her milk.
This will serves as an eye openner to those parents who are cruel in their children.

Unfortunately, history shows they'll most likely find a coyote ravaged body. Later, forensics will determine death by blunt force trauma or shaking. Death by another human.

For what reason did the father indicate out the police that he lives in a region well known with coyotes? On the off chance that there were such creatures around, there is much more reason not to put her outside late during the evening!

Not everyone should have kids. It's very sad that such irresponsible individuals are giving birth with the pace of rabbits. What a bunch of idiots. I wonder if they ever heard the word, "Pedagogy". Even the tiniest bit of psychological trauma can affect the poor child's future in every way. And, "MILK" other than a "MOTHER'S MILK" is HARMFUL to humans! A cow's milk is only for another cow.
