Unbelievable
I bet you'll find there was one officer who called the others off - because most cops would have known immediately what to look for. There's always a jerk in the crowd and he is frequently the one with authority.
So sad but it was probably too late by the time they got there anyway.
Those in authority are expected to have the ability to conduct a search...a frantic parent is not capable. The police dropped the ball, period.
If the family had called police immediately, maybe they would have been found.
If the police had been called and then an alert police officer noticed the shoes in the car, then the boys could have been saved.
Too many variables for even one response to bring about the desired outcome.
So sad.
When some person accidentally kills a kid, a headline hungry prosecutor is sure to press charges. But, since it's the government at fault, oops! Just an accident. No one will face charges.
unbelievable you say.
try minneapolis in 1996
a woman gone missing on c-mas eve and husband suspecyed in high profile rich people case
her car was soon found on main drag, lake street, in kmart parking lot.
police searched the car and impounded it.
days later on a routine imvemtory of the car--there she was -- in the trunk.
they searched the glove box for a body but not the trunk.
This is not the cops' fault--it's the stupid family's fault. They didn't teach their children NOT to go into a car, period, without them. Then they didn't lock the car. Then they didn't LOOK IN THEIR OWN TRUNK.
I hope the policemen/women involved don't lose their job, pay or sleep over this.
