    Byers-Smith said she asked police to search the school bus lot, but they told her they first needed to search her house …

    Uh huh.

      Sounds like they’d rather go on a fishing expedition than do their jobs.

      I don’t know man cops are shit but kids are great at hiding. How annoyed would you be if you went and searched all over the fucking county looking for this kid and you found out the kid was hiding behind an open door in their parents bedroom and fell asleep like I did to my parents when I was a kid.

        That’d require the child be home, first. Mom was worrying because he hadn’t come home from the bus and no one was picking up the phone at the school or the bus company. I’m going to guess that getting into the house would have been noticeable because calling the cops was not mom’s go-to move – and they proved her prioritization correct by being useless.

        But the cops have no reason to think the child is in the home at all? The mom called them because the bus never dropped him off and couldn’t get ahold of the school or bus company. She KNEW 100% her kid wasn’t home, they just refused to take her at her word.

        yeah, you act kike children become invisible. I’d say they are actually not that great at hiding and police officers should be competent enough to find one. This story tells it all.

        Oh no, the police might do part of their job that doesn’t involve harassing minorities!
