Except he didn't just see a message on his FB from somebody he didn't know! [bbm]I have been sitting here reading and thinking about BDR and his actions in this situation.
I thought what would I do if I saw a message on my FB from someone I didn't know, but who left details and who was a couple of hundred miles away, asking to be rescued and saying they were being molested and were suicidal.
If i called their local LE, would I be believed and would they go to the home and just talk to the child and leave her because they believed both parents? Would they take her to the hospital and return her later to even more desperate circumstances. It is her word against both parents.
If I called my own local LE, would they be convinced by me and contact the LE as mentioned above, risking the same results as listed above. Or would they think I was being conned and ignore it.
I honestly can't think of how I could handle this to be assured of getting the results of total safety for the child and her siblings.
Are there mandatory protocols in place universally like there are for domestic violence cases in which the person who does the violence must be removed from the premises?
All this has made me realize that as an adult I am not sure how to proceed to truly protect a child in this circumstance.
This is not meant to be a defense or accusation of BDR, it is just something to think about.
Per the complaint, he met SP last December on a gaming site primarily known to minors. Their communications graduated from the game site to texts and also through an encrypted messaging app. The affidavit supporting the complaint includes a log of their communication.
Reading the complaint provides much more to think about.
