in 2022 a young girl named Cleo went missing from her tent while camping. Her parents claimed someone had unzipped the tent & taken their child while they were sleeping, in a very similar way to the dingo taking the baby story. The public said they looked too controlled in their interviews, that it didn't add up that they would go camping at that location, arriving at the time of night they did & generally repeated all the stuff said about poor Lindy. Fortunately in Cleo's case, the police did an incredible job & actually tracked down the person who had abducted her & 18 days after she was taken, she was found, still alive!
Was quite incredible to watch though for anyone old enough to remember Azaria, really quite shocking to see the public do exactly the same thing they had in the Azaria case! Parents & particularly the non-biological father were immediately found guilty & if they weren't, then where was the biological father, he wasn't out there calling for help finding his daughter, so he must have murdered her. Sad how human nature & mob mentality can work sometimes! Even details like Cleo having a plain sleeping bag, not a disney or other child based one were used as proof that the parents were lying.
Please don't assume people! Please be careful what you say when lives are at stake!

I was just 12 years old when that happened. I've always had an unswerving belief that they were innocent. My mother always believed them guilty. Years later I had the opportunity to meet them both on separate occasions. Lindy in '97 and Michael in '2011. Both at book signings along with a lecture and Q&A. I asked my mother if she wanted to join me. She would not. There is still a lot of deep seated-division even among families. This certainly was a tragic chapter in our history. I spent the least time with Lindy, the most with Michael but the pain in their eyes was equal. Michael is gone now but I feel privileged to have shook his hand and told him to take care. It just all shot back to the day I bought an _Australia Post_ magazine when I was 12 with Lindy and Azaria on the cover standing at the base of the rock in 1980 on or around that terrible day.

The general public are sick, and shouldn't be allowed to make references on what they don't know as facts. Just like the case of Madeleine McCann, these parents are still suffering, yet people still blame them because they had dinner and weren't sitting in the room with her while she slept? People are seriously sick. Mind your own businesses, and be grateful you didn't go back in your own homes to take the garbage out, when your child was in the front yard and could have been taken. Yes, of course, you wouldn't do that, but yes, you have many times done things like that, it's just that YOUR child wasn't taken. You people who think like that are sick, horrendous people - leave these parents alone, they have enough grief to deal with without your sick false expectations that you don't even have of yourselves!

Look at the case of the mysor/miesor bear. It was a sloth bear that killed several people. Sloth bears are not known for being vicious and they stay away from humans. There are radicals in every species. Im not saying that they did or did not kill their child. Just that you can never really predict what an animal will do %100 of the time. That includes humans because we are all animals. Look at how many serial killers and evil ppl are out there and how the average person literally cannot understand how those killers could possibly commit such crimes. Also that doesn't mean that the dingo was evil but it just meant that it was capable of running up into a tent and grabbing a human baby even though dingos are thought shy away from us %100 of the time.

The body was never found Well. DUHHH. There are plenty of scavengers, birds, and insects to completely dispose of a carcass. A wild dog could completely and easily devour a baby's small body. Why is it so hard for some people to believe this is probable? A wild animal, famished from not eating for days or even weeks is a daring, dangerous predator. Dingoes are in fact predators. They don't just eat birds, insects and lizards. They can and will kill and eat anything they are able to catch or steal. If they get accustomed to humans, then they will become bolder and more aggressive. This is true of most predatory animals.

It boggles my mind that people actually thought it IMPOSSIBLE that a predatory canine might have. preyed on something. Even with no recorded attacks, it seems like basic logic that a predator might have seen an extremely small and helpless baby as prey. I feel absolutely awful for her and her family (especially her poor mother. The media should be deeply ashamed of their treatment of this family.

The horrific aspect to the trial is the media screwed her no matter how she reacted. If she came off pleasant and I guess human (for lack of a better word, she'd be deemed as fake or insincere. The way she did respond, i. e. just be stoic, caused the press to categorize her as cold and aloof.
It's so traumatic what happened to Ms. Chamberlain. I hope she's doing well these days

If you've watched a dingo enter your tent and then realise your baby is gone, you aren't going to suspect anything other than your baby is dead. I can't say I'd be frantic, it's not as if my child is still out there alive. She was dead and I don't blame the mother for not reacting.

I can only imagine how hard it would be to lose a baby. To lose a baby in such a horrific way, and then being prosecuted for it is unfathomable. I have the movie based on this case. It never gets easier to watch. All my love to the Chamberlains.

Not even being from Australia, I know a dingo is more dangerous than the coyotes we have in America. Why would this have been far fetched to believe in Australia of all places. If its not some weird shit in Florida in the news its Australia.

They were definitely guilty of neglect.
Though that might not be a criminal offense in Australia. Australia is a bit goofy with their laws.
Glad to see she at least did two years. Appropriate. The payout afterwards was egregious.

I have never heard the term A dingo ate my baby. I have lived through the whole sorry fiasco. Lindy famously cried out: A dingo took my baby. There's a big difference. She stated what she saw. She did not see the dingo eat her baby.

The quondam child actress turned animal liberationist PAMELYN FERDIN put these poor people through Hell. I have a fire breathing hatred of that worthless piece of human garbage, and wish her a short and painful life.

The whole nation jumped to conclusions. Thought it was a wild made up story.
Did they ever learn why the man who fell off cliff and died had the babys jacket?
Justice wins in the end. Praise the LORD!

Come on. Those dogs were super at undressing the child without ripping the garments to shreds. Jacket first guys, then the rest. Okay, now we can eat her. Hey we left no teeth marks on the clothes, good job!

I decided to look it up now I never knew it was based on a real thing. Just a joke I would hear on tv or older people would say when I was young. I thought it was just a fake reference this whole time

At 9 wks old she was the size of a rabbit. The Dingos were used to getting hand fed from people at the popular spiritual site. Sorry but they basically left a steak out for the wolves to devour!

Wait. So the climber that fell to his death was the reason for finding her coat? Did he land on the coat? How did the Police find the coat? How did finding the coat exonerate the parents?
