I agree, she also displays this completely self absorbed lack of lack of reality in 2:LINY at the baggage claim. She just hands off Kevin's bag and says all nonchalant like "Kevin's not here" It's not until Mr. McAllister asks her that she all the sudden cares that he's gone. Recent update: at the police station she says she last saw Kevin at curbside check-in. What? you last saw your kid on the street at the airport and thought that was enough? WTF? Mr. McAllister is all like, um no bitch I saw him at the gate cause I was paying attention to our 10 year old at one of the most busy airports in the world, on one of the most busy travel days of the year. She was all like, oh yeah me too

Don't sell Mr. McCallister short on this. He may have a bit more sense than his wife and not be as self absorbed, but he clearly doesn't care for Kevin all that much and treats him missing as a mere slight nuisance. He's pretty damn calm and collected for his kid being missing both times, to where we at least some emotion from the mother. Mr McCallister just doesn't give a shite, and is simply pissed that Kevin is making him miss his tee times.

And you know who definitely doesn't have an excuse: the siblings and cousins. Surely one person was seated within sight of where Kevin should be seated, and more likely was directly next to him. I think they are actively rooting for him to get brutally injured and only see Kevin as a person they can beat up on. If the world can beat up on or preferably kill Kevin, then they're pumped up for it.
