I didn't read the whole thread but my take on the question of why THIS child? The same reason why Nancy Grace is popular and why we enjoyed seeing Simon humiliate people. People tend to be facinated by awful things. From the beginning we had a kid missing, a mom out partying and whoring around, and lots of inclusive proof that made an armchair detective out of many people. Oh, and let's not forget the freakshow of a family with all of their lies! Pretty lurid stuff, actually.
