what is tough about this is we get to sit here on our keyboards and judge it...i do have 2 kiddos and would protect them with my life...BUT there is a line...the way i look at it is i am not gonna judge this because i was not in their shoes..i dont know what i would do under that level of stress..I can say right now with a calm brain i would have them turn themselves in and do the right thing but who knows when you are under that level of stress..what is weird to me is i do a lot of camping...so that is very normal to me...but i could not see my self going camping on one last hurrah if my child has told me that "shes gone." I would think i would be focused on getting an attorney established so my child could do the right thing.
