The Nathaniel Mystery: What? Why? How?

October 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Again from our good friends at Park Slope Parents, a mystery post in code designed to escape the clutches of greasy and nosy bloggers. Something happened with a kid named Nathaniel in Carroll Park. We want to help solve this mystery. Here it is:

Please contact me if you are the parents of Nathanael/Nathaniel (unsure of spelling). He is a very sweet boy of approx 6 (I think), with thick brown hair, obsessed with Superman (he mentioned he has 26 cartoon albums), but he “likes Cinderella too”. He also said he has dinosaur pajamas. He was wearing gap jeans with a snap closure (he asked me to help him close it), a long sleeve t-shirt, and running shoes. He was in Carroll Park yesterday afternoon (Friday).

Was it a rogue, drunken nanny? An abusive caretaker? Was the little one lost? Inquiring minds want to know. Hit us off and we’ll hook you up with the writer and try to outfox those behind the mystery, so to speak.

    Why are you so obsessed with the parkslopeparents Yahoogroup? Don’t you have enough other stuff to fill up your blog?

    I agree with Roby (as a member of the BoCoCa Yahoo group). You have to register to become part of this online community and it disturbs me that GL would register only to exploit the groups for blog “news”. As an avid GL reader this disturbs me and cheapens your blog.

    I appreciate you keeping us in the loop on the parents groups. Saves me from reading them separately.
