You find like minded parents and have kids move around in groups of 5-10. If CPS gets involved, you have "community standard" on your side as a defense. Free Range parents never seem to be interested in coalition building (maybe because they're used to be independent /swim upstream types?).

Seconded! I frequently work with family violence victims and I recommend this book all the time.

I hope they don't have children... and especially not twins!

You should read "The Culture of Fear: Why American's are Afraid of the Wrong Things" by Barry Glasner. It's a great book, completely changes how you see these sorts of statistics. Kids are way, way safer today than they've ever been before.

Half of them turned up later at a friend's house, or were found hiding in the closet because they didn't want thai for dinner again.

My uncle's wife is a freak. She always gets dogs in pairs and when one needs to be put down, kills the other one at the same time. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE??

Well the dogs didn't commit suicide.

If I remember correctly, he even said something like "Well, you know how women are always running off."

And had anyone other than her friends and family given a fuck, two more people might be alive today. I know Durst is a straight-up villain, but listening to that first detective be so dismissive of Kathie's disappearance made my blood boil.

I know. Watching The Jinx - it killed me to hear Kathie's friends talk about how she was afraid of him. I know it wasn't their job to get her out - and it seems like she had a strong support system had she escaped - but I wish the documentary would have featured the word "abuse" here. I don't know if one of the…

Exactly what Fred Durst wants us to think.

Were "reported missing." One time (In Nowhere, Arizona) my mother reported my little brother missing. No one had seen him for more than an hour and the irrigation canals were running at that time a year, we lived near a major highway — drowning, being hit by a car or death by snake bite were real concerns. The…

The fire of indignant, misplaced self-righteousness that looks to ruin people's lives and unjustly ruin reputations is the abuse and violation that should be at the center of discussion

The Media!

When I hear bros talk about murdering pussy I always wonder if the greek system is really just a brotherhood of period fetishists.

Most missing children cases are solved quickly, lots of times when a kid is reported missing, it's just an oversight or misunderstanding, like the kid is found safe a few hours later.

Does that number include freaked out tourists whose kids wander off in Times Square?

In addition to what Ari said, most missing child reports are either non-custodial parent abductions or runaways (so that includes every 14-year-old who runs away for 5 hours then realizes it sucks and comes home on their own, as long as their parents call the police and file a report). Most missing persons cases of…

0.1% of all New Yorkers are missing/abducted children? Am I that bad at math?
