Well, we mostly, not all, assume that someones baby was eaten... by a dingo...

As I understand it, there was a scandal where a woman blamed dingoes for eating child, and it led to widespread hunting of dingoes which probably contributed to the animal becoming endangered...
How wrong am I?

a 9 week old baby goes missing from a camp and the authorites believe the parents did something. They were arrested and put on trial. The 1988 flick A Cry In The Dark... the film came out a few months after the parents were cleared of charges. The public convicted them and the courts almost did based on it. Sad and scary.


Oh... and welcome abaord.... see how easy we digress?

Yeah, that's the one.
I've always been curious about how much people know about Australia. And I hear that "dingo ate my baby!" quote used as a punchline so often that I got to wondering, "do people think it's a joke or some silly urban legend like crocodiles in sewers?"

There's the historical punchline to it, and then there's the fact that it's the name of the band that Oz (buffy the vampire slayer) played in

Oh Oz..... we still miss you.

Don't you read the comics? (oh crap, did I spoil it? )

Haven't finished the series yet... still stuck trying to get through season 6

Thank you all for the hello's, I feel welcomed
