I'm talking about the entire system. The police, the Social Workers, the courts.

Everyone in the F***ing system knows better, and i'm quite tired of you trying to befuddle the issue.

There is NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY that thinks they can get away with releasing information about juveniles, with or without a judge's order. You do that, and your @$$ is toast.

I think before this is over, we are going to find some toasted @$$es of some officials.

Show me the citation to Arkansas law that demonstrates what the police did in releasing the reports was illegal.

If it was illegal, why has no one been fired or sued? Everyone (except for a few chowderheads on cable news) who has taken a look at Arkansas law on this matter has determined the police fulfilled their legal obligation under Arkansas's public records laws by releasing the records with required redactions.

Don't hold your breath.

I'm surprised by the release of information, too. The girls themselves were juveniles. The two daughters said they felt secure in talking to the authorities because they believed the information would be kept confidential. And, yet, the reports were released with enough information to reveal their identities.

Wouldn't law enforcement and/or child protection have assured the girls that they could speak freely without fear of their info being released?

If releasing the info was legal, then, apparently, victims who are minors cannot trust law enforcement to keep their personal info confidential.

How many victims out there have been watching this story unfold? Now they're probably thinking that they can't trust the authorities. I wouldn't blame them.

I had a friend who was victimized at age 8 by an adult. There was a trial, and because everyone in the community knew who the victim was, the other kids (especially the boys) were brutal toward her year after year.
