The Perfect Solution-A Suspense of Choices
slowly. "Well, last year my sister had her little girl enrolled at that particular center and she had a lot of complaints. About the meals, supervision, little things she was hearing. She removed Sabrina from there when they forgot the child in the park."
    "My God, how could a center do such a thing? That's totally irresponsible."
    "And yet they remain open. The school had taken the children to this large playground just built in town and when they returned to The Center, my niece had been forgotten. The poor little thing had just recently made two years old and couldn't talk very well. Those ignorant people didn't even have a nametag on her. It was darn near three hours before they noticed that she was missing from the center, and by then my niece was at home. If it hadn't been for a concerned mother leaving the park with her own children noticing Sabrina and bringing her here, no telling what would have happened. Thank God I was on duty. I was so shocked when I walked in from my lunch break and saw everyone gathered around this tiny crying child, and was more flabbergasted when I realized it was Sabrina. My sister was going to sue The Center but she let a few of her girl friends talk her out of the idea. She just let the matter drop. After my niece was taken from the center, we began hearing a lot of rumors of different abuses and neglect going on there."
    "Really, that's strange. I called The Child Care Licensing Bureau and received no negative reports. As a matter of fact the center had no violations posted on the bureau's website either."
    "Maybe no one ever reported any incidents. If no one tells about a problem, no one will know about it. It’s like petty theft; people tend to just let it go thinking it no big deal so things continue to happen. As for violations, those are easy to get around. Most centers know when inspections are coming up and prepare the center for them.
    "I called the director just before I called you and she and her staff will meet me at The P. S. Center. They may know who took my son."
    "That sounds good, but I think it would be better if you remained at home."
    “I can't. I have to go. I have to find my son. If I sit around here I will go crazy. The answering machine is on. Brhin and I have a system. We practice it all the time. He'll know what to do if he calls and I am not here. He knows my cell phone number.
    "I can't force you to stay there, but I will give all of this information to a unit, an Amber Alert will be enacted and a unit will meet you at the childcare center. Is there anyone to stay at your home while you are gone?"
    "No."
    "I'm asking this because someone may try to call you for a ransom or something."
    "Brhin was taken from his day care center, the person would not know my address or number now would they?"
    "I can't agree with that. I suggest you hurry to the center and get back as soon as possible."
    "Will they put a search out?"
    "More than likely after the police check in. They may have a description of the suspect or the car driven. Bring the most recent picture that you have of your son. We will also get in touch with the Bureau of Missing and Exploited Children. I'll get the news to all of the local television stations. The more information we can get out the better."
    "Lord, have mercy. Things like this don't happen in Beaumont. This is such a quiet place. Do you think I will get my baby back?"
    "I can't promise you anything. Maybe The P. S. Center made a mistake and gave him to the wrong people and those people have not been able to get in touch with you or The Center in order to give him back. I'm sure these things happen all of the time. Regardless, just keep on calling on the Lord and in the interval, we will do our best to find your son."
    "I'm sure that you will. I… uhm, will get my things together and go on to the center."
    "You won't be driving yourself, will you?"
    "No. My sister should be here soon. She'll be bringing me"
    "All right, but before you go,
