But what she did wasn't illegal (the running away part). The false 911 call was....BUT if she hadn't called and IF she had just came back in 2 weeks and said "I couldn't take it so I ran", there would be nothing to charge her with.
The searches for her etc were not her doing. Other folks did that part.
You have the freedom, and the right to be crackerpuppies, go where you want to go and not tell a dang person. I think its in the constitution. Think about it. Do we really want to be in such a nanny state that we have to ask permission to leave town?
We all want to charge her with a crime because we're all pissed off. If there wasn't a 911 call, we'd still be pissed off and there would be no reason to squawk.
She should be charged for the false 911 charge. Of course the search was started by others, kidnap victims don't usually start searching for themselves.
I'm not saying she should do time, but she should at least take some financial responsibility for her selfish actions.
Well, there'd still be a reason to squawk ;-)
But you are right about all of us having the right to go crackerpuppies. The 911 call is a tempting factoid, but it's logical error to use the call to hang her with the cost of the search that preceded the call.
