All of the money that was expended was "tax payer" money - she's a tax payer in theory so she is entitled to the police, fire and other's time in my eyes. Now...the other side of the coin is that this was it seems a premeditated act of running away. She bought the ticket ahead of time and arranged for a ride, etc...

Still...is it a crime to run away and act childishly irresponsible?

No; we'd all be locked up at one point for it. This isn't worth going after; the day before she showed up the media was out there trying to help find her because she was missing. Now the best thing possible happens - she's alive and found - and she's being crucified for it by many. Crazy! Damned if you do and Damned if you don't there...

This just isn't worth any more time - I'm glad she's alive - I wish she were a better person. In fact - I wish we all were better people.
