Presumption is as bad as assumption. Having seen very much of this, and had it personally affect members of my family, I can assure you that the state cannot always do what you think they should, nor is the victim often in a position to ask for assistance. You may prefer to disagree, but for myself, I know of plenty of circumstances where this would be ethically and morally legitimate.Originally posted by Chris Myers:<br /> Theres no excuse for leaving somebody to believe there child is missing, fearing the worst. I presume if he was violent / abusive to the child the state would have protected the child.
