i've expressed concern throughout this thread that the child may be complicit in this. it has happened before.
but if she is, she was groomed and led, seduced and manipulated. coerced, perhaps threatened.
12 is sure old enough to commit a crime, and i have seen hints of the possibility in the reports. especially in interpreting the Chief's comments.
but at this point she is a kidnap victim even if she went willingly, because she cannot give consent by law.
i hope she gets back safely. then if she is involved in mom's death, a whole new ball game.
