yeah not caustic.. i wouldn't eat it but it doesn't eat away at anything. From my quick research the dogs wouldn't smell it.

Just because I can't bear to see you so thoroughly mangling science...

Wet concrete (Portland cement - the most popular type used in the US) contains calcium dioxide (formed when the calcium oxide in dry concrete mixes with water) - a highly caustic substance. Calcium dioxide has a pH around 12 or 13 - 14 is the highest, 7 is neutral (and remember that it's an exponential scale so 8 is ten times more basic than 7, etc.). The burns from wet cement don't necessarily start immediately (which is why people can make hand prints without their skin immediately burning off) but it needs to be washed off immediately and thoroughly. People who work with wet cement suffer the highest rates of occupational skin burns in the US. See here for more info: http://www.neutralite.com/

And there are numerous instances of cadaver dogs finding bodies buried in cement - even ones wrapped in plastic and buried years earlier, under a newly poured concrete patio, for example. You can start here for more info: http://www.csst.org/forensic_evidence_canines.html

(I think you're imagining that scent molecules are big - they aren't.)

i don't think they can because they are looking for the smell f decomposition rising through the soil. if you put someone under concrete the dog wouldn't be able to smell it because there are no air pockets to rise through. if the body was in the concrete i don't think it would decompose.

MikeyTBC... your initial thought should be to believe the child. your thought process is why children keep sexual and physical abuse to themselves

It seems that there's more evidence than just the child's word in this case.

But most accusations of such are false. Certainly from a statistical standpoint it does not make sense to believe the child first.

It is also not exactly compatible with our innocent-until-proven-guilty system.

Children learn at some age that they have absolute power over adults if they make certain accusations. And while this case doesn't seem anything like that, certainly "your initial thought should be to believe the child" is a thinking process that will ruin a lot of innocent lives and protect no children.

Problem with your train of thought is, that most pedaphiles
will take advantage of what you bring to light, that is that the child may be making the story up and in some cases thats true, but how many cases go un-reported and the pedaphile allowed to continue abusing children.


Problem with your theory is that your thought process tend to lock up an innocent people, which is the worst possible scenario.

Al Sharpton?

Appearing creepy is not a crime. Question everything.

Easy there Al Sharpton. Gotcha, but you might want to hold off on this argument for someone other than creepy kitten lives with his mother guy.
