GUILTY CO - Luke Turner, 3, Longmont, 25 May 2013

[Peazzzer]

Your second Halloween is coming up Luke, where are you????

Still Missing

Bumping for little Luke.......spent his 3rd birthday away from his momma :tears:

Wow, I follow child abductions fairly close and I have not seen this case before anywhere.
Where is the news?
Can mom sue for custody?
Oh, please let him be ok and found soon!!!

Yes.

If no custody order was in place at the time the child was removed, then technically no crime has been committed.

The mother will need to have an emergency order giving her full custody and then the police will do more to assist her.

Custody issues are still considered 'civil' not criminal issues, and unless the mother can show the child is danger LE is unlikely to spend valuable resources on it.


Not saying it's right, don't shoot the messenger.

Mother has several legal options, but will need legal advice to proceed.

I tend to slightly disagree. I think it is more about the culture of the missing. Look at kortne stouffer---gorgeous, blonde, young----yet no news, media attention, facebook attention, etc. It's b/c there were drugs possibly involved and she was part of the hippie culture. I think low-income people don't get enough awareness, not necessarily because of race (as the only factor at least). People tend to judge lower income cultures more harshly IMO....ie: somehow they deserved what they got, bought it upon themselves, or were just being "stupid". I agree here at WS there a lot more cases covered---i personally go by age and location (too much chicago news fills our airwaves and I see nothing about missing persons except on nancy g.).

Also, I think it's a wonderful thing to not show their pictures on the main page b/c I think we'd see the same kind of 'judgements' here (as we sometimes do when a thread has been going for awhile)

Anyway, I hope this cute little man is SAFE! NSS is completely right and it doesn't sound "illegal"...
