At least this bill would stop these killers from dumping the body til there is NO evidence left to find cause of death!!!!

Just how would it do that?, the investigation would still only start after the report. Just like this case.

The end result of this law will be concientious parents overwhelming the police system when junior can't immediately be located for fear of going to jail for a felony. Ungrateful teens will use as a bludgeon against their parents when they don't get their way. This law is a bad idea, with plenty of potential for misuse.

“The end result of this law will be concientious parents overwhelming the police system . . .”

Bingo. Everything you said.

Plus—Who determines when the child *actually* went missing? If one could report the precise time the child actually went missing, the odds are that the child wouldn’t go missing in the first place. Or does the law imply that *realization of missing* starts the clock? How in hell does this law get enforced?

BOR, after redeeming himself slightly, went right back to Baxter-mode on this one.
