Yep. My conflicting is big brother vs accountability and how we deal with all of this to protect kids and protect freedom

I don't know the answer to that when it comes to missing children.

I think we all do but it is one the laws of our country that we have to protect. IMO

Personally, I think it's a law that needs to be changed. If a child in your custody disappears and you don't report it, the court should be able to hold you indefinitely until the child is found. MOO.

If you left your child with a babysitter for a date night and came back and found the child was not there, babysitter refusing to answer the wheels would be turning. Mother, turns out not so much.
Sorry for the 'tude, following another similar case in CA.
