Between 1971 and 1978, a series of child kidnappings plagued Pierce County, Washington.

The victims were abducted from locations typically associated with “family fun,” such as movie theaters, bowling alleys, playgrounds, and in one case Point Defiance State Park.

According to witnesses, each child vanished after being yelled at, grabbed, or otherwise publicly disciplined by a parent, after which the children went away to pout or cry and simply never returned.

Twelve children eventually vanished in this manner. 

In November 1978, a bizarre mass grave was discovered in rural Eatonville, Washington. Within the grave were the remains of twenty-three children in various stages of decay. The oldest remains were skeletal, while the freshest still had somewhat recognizable facial features.

Each child was laid out under a blanket with evidence of having been “tucked in,” and had a makeshift pillow under their heads and a toy of some kind pressed into their arms. 

At autopsy, all of the children were found to have moss, leaves, twigs, and tree bark in their stomachs. Seven appeared to have died of intestinal blockage related to this peculiar diet. The others died of starvation. 

Most disturbingly, six of the children bore injuries consistent with long-term physical abuse. Eight bore no such injuries. Nine were too decomposed to definitively assess the presence of injuries.

The discovery of the corpses was handled with supreme delicacy by the Pierce County Sheriff, who had prior experiences with the Agency of Helping Hands and recognized that this discovery was in line with AHH’s scope of responsibilities.

The agency promptly launched an investigation. Twelve of the corpses were linked to the abduction victims. An additional eight children were identified during the course of the investigation. Three of the victims remain unidentified to this day.

After interviewing witnesses to the known abductions, the agency determined that a woman with distinctive red hair and a mildly deformed face had been present immediately prior to each disappearance. 

Adult witnesses were uniformly unhelpful. However, witnesses who were minors or had been minors at the time of sighting provided valuable information. The most detailed eyewitness report is consistent with other known reports. It has been summarized below:

Five-year-old Breanna S. was at a pizza restaurant with an attached arcade with her parents and brother. 

Approximately an hour after arrival, Breanna asked her mother for additional game tokens. Her mother refused loudly, asking if Breanna thought they were “made of money.” Breanna argued, at which point her father began to yell at her, too. The witness described the father’s tirade as an expletive-laden temper tantrum that shocked witnesses.

Breanna began to cry, at which point her father spanked her for “being a selfish crybaby.”

Breanna broke away and ran off, weeping. When her father attempted to follow, a staff member intervened, resulting in an altercation.

Breanna fled to a corner to cry in private.

A few minutes later, a woman with red hair and an “unusual face” approached Breanna. Breanna initially pulled away, perhaps put off by the woman’s peculiar appearance, but the woman appeared to quickly win her over by asking Breanna her favorite food.

Breanna responded that her favorite food was ice cream. The woman asked Breanna if she wanted to go get an ice cream. Breanna agreed.

Other children in the vicinity, including the primary witness, clamored to tag along, but the woman gently refused, saying that Breanna deserved a treat because she had “bad parents.”

The woman took Breanna by the hand and instructed her to look over at her parents, who were still engaged in conflict with arcade staff. She gave a little wave in their direction. “Before we go, say ‘Bye-bye, Mommy!’”

Breanna obediently repeated, “Bye-bye, Mommy.” 

The moment the phrase was uttered, the juvenile witnesses begin to panic. According to the primary witness, this is because the phrase was consistent with retellings of a local urban legend known, naturally, as the “Bye-Bye Mommy.”

The juveniles tried to raise the alarm, but the ongoing altercation between staff and Breanna’s parents rendered them unheard as the red-haired woman melted into the crowd with Breanna by her side.

Breanna was never seen again.

After exhumation from the mass grave in Eatonville, Breanna’s body was among those that showed signs of long-term physical mistreatment. 

The agency investigated the the so-called “Bye-Bye Mommy” for weeks. According to urban folklore, she was a vengeful boogeyman who spirited away disobedient children — particularly children who defied their parents in public. Information was scant for such a widespread tale, primarily consisting of three rumors:

A. The entity looked deformed—or so the rumor went—because her mean husband punched her so hard that he broke her face

B. After selecting a victim, the entity insisted he or she say, “Bye-bye, Mommy” before kidnapping them

C. Children taken by the Bye-Bye Mommy were never seen again, resulting in considerable fear among local children at the time

Disturbingly, nearly half of the victims exhumed from the mass grave were never reported missing.

As previously stated, some were never identified. However, of the unreported victims that were identified, one was undocumented, four were homeless runaways, and three had been in foster care at the time of

disappearance. The parents of the runaways and the guardians of the foster children either already had, or were later discovered to have, histories of mistreating minors in their care.

This information contradicts the prevailing rumor that the entity punished disobedient children by way of kidnapping, and lends credence to her claims that she only took – or in her words, rescued – children living with subpar guardians. 

The agency experienced great difficulty in tracking this entity. As it was impossible to identify and set watch over every victim of child neglect or abuse in Pierce County, personnel decided to stake out the mass gravesite. 

After eight weeks, the entity finally returned to the gravesite. When she saw that the remains of the children were no longer present, she flew into a rage. As is common with such entities, the high emotion disrupted her physical state and she began to “morph,” assuming a disturbing appearance that presented signs of decay, bodily trauma, and nonhuman proportions. 

Agency personnel failed to apprehend her using standard methods, in the process placing themselves in mortal danger. One agent, thinking quickly, screamed that she needed the entity’s help to rescue her baby brother, who was being abused by her stepfather. (Please note that this agent had neither a baby brother nor a stepfather.) She stated that her brother had prayed to Jesus for the Bye-Bye Mommy to help him, and was waiting for her to rescue him.

Due to the her distress over the missing bodies, the entity did not—or perhaps could not—resume normal proportions, but she followed the agent in order to help this nonexistent baby brother. The agent directed the entity to the Agency’s nearest field location, whose personnel were equipped to capture and transport the entity. 

Once in custody, the Agency was able to trace the entity’s origins quite easily.

Before her death, the Bye-Bye Mommy was a woman with multiple complaints of child abuse and one charge of neglect. Shortly before her death, she sent her young daughter to live with the child’s equally-unfit father after the child upset her.

This was the last time she ever saw her daughter.

Remorse quickly set in. She attempted to retrieve her daughter for the next three months, but was unsuccessful. One night, she had a nightmare in which her daughter was emaciated and panicking as a “pack of monsters” smothered her.

The nightmare was so powerful that upon waking, she immediately called emergency services before driving to her ex’s house, a trip of approximately thirty-five minutes.

By the time she arrived, EMS was onsite and had confirmed the child’s death.

In a fit of rage, the mother attacked her ex as the police escorted him out of the house. The ex hit her back with enough force to break her jaw and cheekbone. She then threw herself in front of an oncoming EMS vehicle, killing herself. 

Suffice to say she did not stay dead.

While issues arise in assigning human standards of sanity, insanity, and culpability to our extraordinary inmates, it is my opinion that the Bye-Bye Mommy is not sane.

Contrary to the belief that she abducted children to punish them, she believes she was saving them. Had she been a more competent and substantially less narcissistic protector, perhaps she could have. 

Instead, she held her victims captive at an undisclosed location rural Pierce County until they died. The entity insists she took her victims to a beautiful home she built after her death, and fed them the most delicious food in the world.

Initially, this claim was completely dismissed by Agency personnel. Later assessment of the entity’s abilities, however, showed that she is capable of throwing an immersive glamour, something akin to a full-body virtual reality experience. In her own words: “I took these babies away from hell to a heaven with a beautiful house, friendly pets, and delicious food – a place where treats grow on trees and nothing is ever dirty, where a mother l...
