True. I'm not really placing much on their demeanor in that video, given the environment of people demanding they talk, yelling outside their home, etc. I don't care what people say... people aren't obligated to go talk to people loitering outside their home. I care more that LE said they were cooperative, and by all accounts they have been.
There are a few people in town who feel as if they are owed some kind of thanks for looking for these boys. Nobody asked them to. LE only asked for people to be on the lookout for them... not to camp outside the home as they have. I'm no sure how helpful that really is. If I could help, I'd be out in the desert looking for coyote dens. I'd be talking to neighbors with boats (there are a bunch of them) and sheds, anywhere with small, curious spaces boys could crawl into. I wouldn't be chanting outside their home or sending a drone over their backyard to look for chalk. *shrug*

Wow. People are camped outside the home ?
Odd.
Agreed that doesn't help.
As far as looking for the chalk -- the adoptive dad said they were out playing with chalk so it's natural to wonder why there's no sign of chalk marks on the sidewalk out in the back yard.
It looks like a concerned citizen might want to know, and that's all there is to it.
It's natural for people to be curious about the adoptive parents as the boys went missing on their watch.
Of course there will be speculation.
But a more productive approach would be for people to take the time to search outside-- fanning outwards from the home and especially the back gate that TW said was left open .
Was it normally just closed or did it have a lock on it ?
Was the oldest boy able to unlock it himself--- or was it left open while TW was looking for firewood ?
But again ... agreed with your post (we're on the same page, lol.
) -- there's much more practical actions people could take than
having a campout in front of someone's front yard whom they do not know.
That's just weird.
I haven't seen any photos or footage of people doing this--- is it recent ?
Unless it's people the family
does know, like the bio family.
Which doesn't help as there are less intrusive and legal channels one can follow.
Law abiding actions.
Setting one's tent on someone else's property is usually considered trespassing.
It sounds from the bio family that they know each other from before, and my first thought was maybe that it was an
open adoption, where there is co-parenting or visitations allowed ?
Imo.
