Cops Fear Vt. 12-Year-Old May Have Gone To Meet Someone She Met Through Online Social Site

[docpeter-2009]

I just gotta ask, who, in their right mind, especially considering the numbers of missing and exploited children today, would think that dropping off a 12-year old girl at a convenience store makes logical sense.

Even if the girl was saying that she is going with a friend to see a sick relative, why didn''t you call someone to see how the relativew was doind?

Afterall, the girl is only 12-years old!

What sort of ignorrant idiot adult does this?

It''s certainly not acceptable to drop off a child and not confirm a child''s plan. It''s also standard op procedure to discuss with other parents particularly when a trip (out of state) is planned. Randolph, VT is a sleeply little out of the way town but that doesn''t matter. All plans for children this age must be approved and then monitored including the pick-up arrangements.

It is absolutely ridiculous that so much time passed before an alert was issued. That kid could have been rendered incapable, stuffed in a car, and on their way down the highway so fast it never would have been noticed. However, an alert might have given authorities a fighting chance to find somebody who might have seen something. Change the alert protocol and do it NOW! Call it preliminary or simialr but it''s clear, it''s not working and this girl may now be long gone.....DA@N System!!!

I have an Idea. PUBLIC TORTURE, and DEATH to any rapist murderer etc.

Nations that have public beheadings and hanging have little to know violent crime.

They also cut off the hands of thieves.

Call it cruel. But its a cruel world. And Cruelty is a good deterent

"...the Amber Alert wasn''t issued earlier because police needed more information. The alert was issued about 5:25 p.m. Thursday, nearly 18 hours after the girl was reported missing. "Because someone''s missing, you can''t just put an Amber Alert out. There are certain criteria we''re bound by," [this is a quote from Capt. Ed Ledo of the Vermont State Police]
I read similar words last week in Houston, TX regarding a 7 yr old boy and his 3 yr old sister. They were last seen playing around tennis courts in their apartment complex on Father''s Day. They were found the following Friday or Saturday. Turns out the father killed the kids, stuffed them in a box and suitcase, took them a few miles down the road and set them on fire.

It seems that they need to reconsider when the Amber Alert is set in place. Two, and now possibly three children are dead. Would they be alive today if the Amber Alert was placed at the time the children were reported missing??? How many more children have to die before changes are made???

Maybe she made a pact with her friends to get Knocked up by homeless men, like the 17 girls from Massachusetts

Quote "Maybe it was the uncle"

The police already said they have analyzed the computer and know whom she was messaging. That means the uncle has been ruled out.

It''s not about where she was dropped off, it was the fact that she was dropped off by herself. The uncle didn''t see this friend she was meeting up with, didn''t speak to the supposed friend. He just dropped her off alone. I don''t care how trust worthy my 12 year old is, that''s not happening.

[victimsofgra]

12 year olds know what they are doing.

Today parents drop their kids off at the mall, library, beach etc.


I was lying to my parents when I was 12. to go smoke pot and drink beers with the older boys.

Kids will do wrong regardless of where they are dropped off.

My heart goes out to this family as well, but really, can we ignore that the uncle dropped a 12 year old girl off at a gas station and just left her there? I don''t care if my daughter is meeting with someone, and I''ve even spoke to the people she''s meeting with. I''m going to wait till those people get there, make sure she''s with them, then leave. It''s common sense people. When did we take responsibilty out of parenting?
