I used to deal with missing persons reports as part of my job. The public has no idea on the vast number of irresponsible people that just don't come home. Kids that have "runaway", kids that stay with friends, husbands that get drunk and spend the paycheck in the bar, the list goes on and on.......

Some family units see nothing wrong with someone disappearing for days, even weeks. Mothers that drop the baby off with a friend and go on a drug binge for a week.

You can't have a law that covers all the bases all the time. Just passing a law will not make people obey that law. Over 98% of "missing persons" are not in any danger and left on their own free will....u
