Tension grips Ark. town after child goes missing

Dominick Arceneaux always talked to himself when playing outside his mother's trailer, the words of the 3-year-old rising above the soft ripple on White Oak Lake.

This is sad.

Well, it is sad. And, as sad as it is, I cant help but feel anger and hurt for this family. The anger for the mother of this 3 year old not being more observant of where this child was, and making sure he was safe. Hurt, because no doubt, she will suffer from the guilt for the rest of her life. I hurt for her. But, everyone should learn from this. This may prevent or help to prevent this from happening again to someone else's child. Rest in Peace little Dominique.

I am curious if law enforcement knows of any child predators in that area. It is a sick person who would hurt a child. The penalty for child abduction, and murder is not harsh enough, if it were, it would stop. Child abductors, child molesters, and child murders should get castrated and the death penalty. No ifs,ands,or buts about it. That precious child,who has done no wrong to anyone suffered under the hand of someone who knows that he will not suffer the same fate. That needs to change

I don't believe foul play was suspected. After they found his body in the lake, it was believed that he wandered or fell into the lake and drowned.

I was wondering why they did not find the toddlers body earlier when he went missing. It seems to me that the lake would have been checked more thoroughly, commonsense would instinctively kicked in, so basically when I first read the story, I knew that the chances were high that the toddler was in the lake, so how can someone like me read the story and know that the lake should have been checked thoroughly, it just amazes me how the FBI, police ect... never really have the street smarts, and commonsense for the puzzles in life.I can't believe how many times I have solved police crimes before they have, and I don't even have all of the details, experience in life is what gives you street smarts, and other things you need in order to be in law enforcment,not just training, books, guns, and test.
My heart goes out to the mother and father. A lot of people may be mad at the mother, but they have no right, she is a mother without her child, just the thought of this sad event breaks my heart. God help her through all of her pain and saddness.
