I wouldn't have reacted that way.

Neither would I. And even if I did, I would have at least taken the time to get the facts straight. My understanding is that the nationwide Amber Alert bill was passed in the House of Representative but has been held up in the Senate.

I think he thought he could help other missing children, and he realized he's never have another moment like that one to do it.

Funny how he neglected to mention the most relevant piece of advice he could have given in this regard -- Don't invite strangers into your home, ESPECIALLY FREAKS LIKE THIS MITCHELL GUY WHOSE VERY APPEARANCE IS NOTHING SHORT OF A "WARNING FLAG" TO ANYONE WITH AN I.Q. OVER 40.

No its the opposite, the US Senate passed the Amber alert by a wide margin, it is the House that is holding up the measure. Sensenbrenner wants to have the law have more teeth in it.

[Trust but Verify]

The bill passed the House during the last congress, but failed in the Senate due to lack of action by the Dems. Now, the Senate passed a stand-alone bill this January and it's in Sensenbrenners committee for only about a month. He want's to add stronger penalties for people who abduct children. You would think the Smarts would be all over that, wouldn't you? But maybe not....

Although I don't gamble, what do you want to bet the part about the mom inviting this nut into their home with their children present is glossed over in any "official" books/movies.
