This should count as child endangerment.
Published on February 26, 2005 By greywar In Current Events

     For those who don't know there is an Amber alert issued for 9 year old Jessica Lunsford of Florida. All of the relevant information can be found here. This case appears to be an aquaintance abduction since there are no signs of forced entry or a struggle. Only time will tell but hope for the best.

     Fox News just broadcast an update to the case revealing that the police are now scanning through email on Jessica's PC in her room. For the hard of thingking let me repeat that with the right emphasis :are now scanning through email on Jessica's PC in her room. What the hell was a  9 year old doing with unsupervised access to the Internet?

     I hope that Jessica is found safe and sound. I also hope that after that occurs that her "parents" are charged with child endangerment. Giving a 9 year old free and clear access to the Net is akin to walking them into Central Park and then leaving them alone. Same shit just takes longer to come to a head.

     I am sure I am leaping to conclusions here but from the tiny exposure we have had to Jessica's "father" the impression the TOC personnel are left with is : "He's a fucking moron." When will we start holding parents feet to the fire for this crap? Shouldn't you have to be semi-functional yourself to have a child? Shouldn't you have to meet some standards? Fuck it, I will walk out on an unpopular limb and declare that you should probably have to pass some standardized testing before being allowed to foist yourself on a helpless child as it's caregiver. Can't pass the test? No kids. Feel free to call me a Nazi.

F.E.T.E.

The incident has unfortunately fallen off the face of the earth and I haven't been able to get a single iota of update on it. Anyone have anything at all to link to?

bakerstreet, greywar:

I believe I first heard of the computer in her room on Nancy Grace just a few days after her disappearance.

Check out Tampa Bay's 10 news...tampabays10news.com for today's update. Apparently the father and others will resume search tomorrow.

Anyone heard if her murderer met her on the internet? If so, I'll offer an apology for my own assumption. It wouldn't, of course, mean that assuming the worst of them with no proof was any better...

"I believe I first heard of the computer in her room on Nancy Grace just a few days after her disappearance."

Any link? I am still, after weeks, looking for a shred of evidence concerning greywar's outrage toward the Lunsford family.

Isn't it time, now, given what we know of what happened to this girl, to admit that all the crass speculation and condemntation of her family was unwarrented and unfair? Isn't it time to step back and say maybe we should wait until there are facts available, and not speculate?
