It is a commonly known fact the parents were told not to discuss the kidnapping with MK to preserve her testimony.

Any normal parents would disregard such advice and advise LE that they are the parents and want to learn all information possible that could lead to the return of their daughter.

Furthermore, this huge unbrella of "protection" over MK is getting old and tired. I could understand it if she was 4 or 5 years old, but not with a bright (from all accounts) 9-year-old who apparently spent a lot of time with an older and wiser sister.

I refer you to post 64 for the legal situation. I appreciate you would go off on your own but normal parents having a child kidnapped at gunpoint from their home in the middle of the night would obey the law and realize their hope of getting their child back was with law enforcement and they would cooperate with them. They weren't dealing with some Mormon bishop here, they were dealing with some crazy ex-con with a gun.

As if you were an expert on "normal parents", LOL.
