I believe they're referring to the custodial/adoptive mother, CP, as being a "friend of his (bio) mother".Ok so this is the first I heard of this tidbit " Sylar Newton was sleeping in a tent with a friend of his mother, her mother and daughter when he disappeared between midnight and 1:45 a.m. last Sunday"
Anybody else know that a friend of the mother as well was there ? The boyfriend I assume.....

who are we allowed to sleuth at this point? Anyone?
eta: Sorry for the dumb question. New to this thread and relatively new to WS. So sorry if this has been said and/or I should know the answer already
Usually it's a rule of thumb that we have to wait until a POI or suspect is named by LE in MSM and then we can sleuth.
That is determined in a case by case sometimes depending on the mods watching over a subforum or thread. If they deem it appropriate to go ahead and investigate then we can.
On this thread we have already had a look at the rap sheets of the adults that Sylar was last known to be with physically and those posts are located within Sylar's threads.
Whenever I am in doubt about posting a piece of info, I contact a mod and then wait for them to answer me, giving me a yea or nay.
Mods here are volunteers so it can take a bit of time if they aren't online, or as I have had it happen in the past couple of weeks the mod wishes to contact an admin to get clearance for something to be posted.
HTH.
If Sylar is still alive, I hope his father has a say as to where he lives. MOOHaving looked at them also, its rather discouraging. Hope they find this innocent little boy and allow a good family to adopt him. There are so many good couples who can't have children and are looking to adopt. Sylar deserves a good family who can love and take care of him.

You know, after reading so many of these stories it almost makes me want to sign up to be a foster parent. My kids are grown and I'm not as spry or energetic as I used to be, but it seems there really is a need. I've known people who have done it and it can be extremely difficult caring for children who have been psychologically damaged from such an early age. :banghead:
Take care of that adorable little one first, Kat :blowkiss: ~ the rest of us can go through the links! nline:I'm in the middle of housebreaking a puppy (see my avatar) so I don't have time to sit and read all of those documents and then look for the statutes, but I will try
Can a non-relative be appointed as guardian?
Yes, but there are special requirements when a non-relative serves as guardian for a child. The guardian must submit to fingerprinting and a criminal background check before appointment; since this process typically takes several months it is necessary that non-relatives apply for guardianship early.
When is it necessary to appoint a guardian for a child?
Most school districts require out-of-district tuition for children whose parent or guardian does not live in the district. In order to avoid tuition charges it may be necessary to have a district resident appointed as guardian–the guardian then has responsibility for the care and control of the child. It may also be necessary, or at least desirable, to have a guardian appointed in order to get the child qualified for medical insurance through the guardian’s work. If parents are unavailable it may be necessary to secure a guardian’s appointment to give consent (or withhold consent) for medical treatment.
What is involved in getting guardianship over a minor?
The guardianship process is started by filing a petition with the Superior Court, paying a filing fee and setting a hearing before the judge. Before the hearing date parents need to either sign a consent form or be served; unknown or missing parents can be served by publication in a newspaper. The minor must also sign a consent if he or she is over age 14. At the hearing, the judge will determine whether the procedural requirements have been met, the appointment of a guardian is appropriate, and the proposed guardian is the best available choice. Most guardianship proceedings involving minors are uncontested and are resolved at the first hearing.
I also am still trying to figure out what kind of "adoption" this is. There doesn't seem to be any legal paper-trail, and as to her being able to get medical care for him, what kind of health plan could he be on if he isn't legally with her? Could he still have medicaid? Also, if not legally with her, how could she receive any kind of financial aid for taking care of him? In other words I'm not seeing any advantage for her to have Sylar without going through the legal channels. And with that, how can someone with a record legally adopt? :waitasec: MOO(snipped for space)
Okay, TP says she was "in the process of adopting Sylar" but LE has stated and continues to state 6 days out from him going missing that they can find no paperwork to support this claim.
Also, even though as we have discussed it isn't needed to have the paperwork to get dr. appt's for a child, if that child required any care above and beyond standard pediatric care (shots, meds for infection, etc) then TP couldn't have gotten medical care for Sylar unless she lied on the forms.
Also, Sylar wouldn't have been covered by her medical insurance. What was her plan? Even children aged 2 yrs and 4 months should have well baby checkups and such?
I'm still concerned about the care Sylar was getting prior to his disappearance. Yes, it can all be innocently explained away, but it stinks to high heavens. I hope we get more info so I can put this out of my mind. JMHO.
