Police Incompetence Threatens Justice for Children
Live Science ^ | 24 December 2008 | Benjamin Radford

The search for a missing Florida girl named Caylee Anthony received worldwide attention this year, and recently came to a tragic end.

The 3-year-old was last seen in June, though her mother Casey Anthony inexplicably waited a month before reporting her daughter missing. Police were unable to find Caylee, but in October Anthony was indicted on first-degree murder charges.

Dozens of self-professed "psychic detectives" offered tips, ideas and information to police about where the missing girl was. Unfortunately, as with previous missing persons cases, all the psychics failed: not a single one gave information that led police to recover Caylee Anthony's body. Despite claims to the contrary, the number of missing persons recovered by psychic detectives remains exactly zero.

Several years ago, a ~3 year old child got lost about 2 miles down the road from where I live. This is farm land with a few houses.

I showed up at the command post with USGS topo maps of the whole area and offered them to the incident commander. The sheriff was heading it and was out of the command post at the time. Later I learned he was out chasing the psychic’s delusions.

People came from all over and wandered all over looking,. We were not allowed on one section of land where the kid was found two days after getting lost.

So much for psychics. Hopefully the child was found alive and well.
