[QUOTE="Star*, post: 444416, member: 4964"] You have to feel sorry for anyone that knew either one of these women. I think the positive (if there is one) if the CA case is that there will NOW be a law forthcoming or laws in place and I would assume they will be passed by February 2012. Hopefully all states will get these into place so nothing like this ever, EVER happens again. I think the difficulty will be in writing the law so that parents of difficult child's who have run=aways who have to report them missing are NOT taking away valuable time with law enforcement say looking for a difficult child runaway that is down at a friends house VS. an actual potential murder victim. They said on the news last night as I understand it the 'cut off' age is to be 12 years old. Do you think this is why? I can see where parents of difficult child's will now have more of a responsibility and potential headache in reporting a missing child to law enforcement where before the law basically did very LITTLE in taking OUR missing children issues serious. I'm not looking for flame mail - but think about it.....your difficult child is 12.5 - he gets upset, he goes missing for 2 hours. You NOW have to report him missing or it's a FELONY. BECAUSE.......if it ends up that (heaven forbid) he's dead, and you did NOTHING to report him missing. YOU are going to jail. THis is the way I understood the wording thus far. Even though it says If the child is missing for 24 or 48 hours and you don't report them, if the child is dead and you didn't report it...well HOW am I supposed to know if the child is potentially dead in 2 hours of going missing? See the loophole there? SO now because I didn't report it 2 hours after missing? I'm going up for a felony. Don't kid yourself - CA got away with murder - you or I would not. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
