The plural of “mistake” is “mistakes” and it cannot be possessive. You erred; the parents did not.

And, unfortunately, the State cannot preempt a county ordinance.

I would think they’re already aware and choose to ignore it in favor of the politics of the moment and Ron Book’s pockets.

There is no proof that Adam Walsh’s murder had any kind of sex crime component, as only the poor child’s head was recovered. No one was ever convicted of the crime, and the person / so who confessed to it was a dimwitted liar who admitted much more preposterous conduct.

Why the Adam Walsh Act addresses sexual offenses and does not specifically deal with kidnappers, murderers and those who neglect their parental duties is one of life’s great mysteries.

I was “caught up” in the Adam Walsh/Jimmy Rice and Howard Steven Ault hysteria/witch hunt. That era was when I was arrested– if you were accused, (guilty or not) you were guilty.
Adam Walsh was LEFT in the toy dept at Sears to “play with the toys” by his parents.
You can say “security guards” cleared the area, not knowing where the kids parents were, (why didnt the guards look for the parents, announce over PA?) the FACT is that the Walsh’s left their own kid in a toy dept and went elsewhere in the store, shopping. (what right-minded parent would do that???)
While tragic, it was their fault, plain & simple.
From what I can remember, John Walsh was a drinker, and just like Ron Book, turned his own lack of responsibility for guarding/protecting his kid into a money-making venture.
He is now under the false pretense of his so-called cop program— “On the Hunt with John Walsh”; where he brags and boasts about himself (John Walsh) making over 8,000 arrests ! ! !
Funny things called FACTS !!!!!!!!!
He is NOT certified as a LEO, therefore has NO arrest powers. He travels around with a film crew going to “staged sites” and looking at a bag of pot, then calling the people they are arresting “dirt bags”.
I am truly sorry that his kid got snatched and killed. BUT, IF they were RESPONSIBLE PARENTS and not dumped their kid off in a toy dept. he might still be alive.

Lack of parent supervision,Hand the child over to someone else, put video game in front of them. and if something bad happens Blame others, Perhaps some of these laws protecting children were directed at poor parenthood instead of Register Citizens. My point of view……there would be less crimes against children It not the stranger who does bad things to children… But who the child knows like uncles,other family members, nannies,coaches, and even police themselves and most of all lets not forgot who Congress is protecting

Good Night…Some one like yourself is a TESTAMENT to many parts of the Bible….may you continue His Prophecy….Quite Splendid!

Peace Brother!

I just looked their story up. The police report says she left him for 10 to 15 minutes. All this time I though she turned her back for a minute and was hanging up clothes or something and turned around and he was gone. Then the mall made 6 year olds leave, not knowing about where their parents are. I did not realize this. I am not blaming them of course but….so much went wrong. Of course nothing passed would have changed a thing.

…so the point of a county ordinance that mirrors state law, would be to void the city ordinances and force the cities down to the state distance.

Be careful when you are talking about taking away Senator Lauren and daddy Book’s meal ticket!

They don’t take kindly to FACTS.
