That seems like a good question. It was mentioned in this thread that wouldn't someone's first thought be that the child had wandered off to try and find the missing parents. Rather than "they're taken her!"

11. Why did you go and warn your friends instead of shouting from the verandah?

Another good question. Although if her child was really missing without her knowledge, then I think shock can account for that.

as for the first question, I think as a mother if your child wasn't in her bed and in a foreign place, you'd know. I'm not a mother obviously, but she said the window was wide open and she just 'knew'. i think i'd have felt the same.

and the next one, shock maybe? I don't think its that much of a big deal. get all of her friends to help find madeline and call the police? what good would shouting from the veranda do? surely you would rather go and look + get all of your friends too?
