a) She is missing at the hands of her Mother, there is no known Father, argue the fact she is found?? The state automatically has "custody" and could protect her and act in her best interests.
b)protect her rights to any trusts, earnings for story, etc..
c) I respectfully disagree there is no custody issue until she is found alive, her Mom is in jail on neglect felony and her GP's would not stand up to a CYS interview right now based on this bs. If she were found, she would go back to them, which I do not believe would be in her best interests.
d) Force the paternity issue potentially.
Im speaking from a legal perspective above, from a personal one-
The only reason I could think of is to keep this whackjob family from profiting or taking donations or setting up trusts and using them for you know who.. Sorrowfully, I do not think this will be at issue
