Well, what if your daughter finds a note in her desk tomorrow that reads: “I heard you were questioned by the police. You must be a very bad person. I am going to kill you” signed Joe Blow (another student at the school). Wouldn’t you want the cops to investigate him?
Sorry, that wasn’t supposed to be a private reply. I hit the wrong button... either way the cops should have checked to see if the girl was on the bus first. The scenario with the note in the desk leaves it a lot more open.
