It is crossing my mind that the young girl may have run away on her own to go with the drifter. fourteen year olds often do really stupid things. Just a thought - no flames please I am open to correction.

I've had the same thoughts ever since hearing her idiot father on "The Toady Show" this morning. He could be a poster child for the dependent Dim. He actually claimed that if a Republican congressman didn't get his "Amber Alert" law passed TODAY,it would be HIS fault the next girl was kidnapped and murdered! He obviously thinks the government is the answer to any question that ever comes up,and the gooberment is our daddy and will protect us.

LOL! Next week we should expect him to demand laws against hiring transients without getting their social security number - or a reference

Mr. Smart, the Amber Alert is a good idea, however, a better idea in your case is to stop using cheap vagrant laborers that you have no idea what their background is.

His advocation of the Amber Alert is perhaps well-intentioned, but the way he approached it and the timing of his comments, seem to be as hollow as his (and Mrs. Smart's) lack of common sense of hiring people from the streets to come to their home. They have to accept they made their own mistakes in this, not just the investigators.
