Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
This one hit me hard for some reason, it's been weighing on me since the boy went missing. The news of the body in the lake came on while I was at the gym, and let's just say I'm glad the sweat hid the tears. I've gotten soft since having two little boys...
I'm just hoping this stays as an accident and nothing bad took place RIP David

“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
1 - check
2 - overnight disappearance for a 6 year old seems fairly checkable
3 - check
4 - ??? What triggers?

I know what you mean. It didn't help that I grew up in that area. We used to have a large pond that would ice over just behind the softball fields. That was removed for the skate park over 15 years ago (I think). So it sounds like the small pond by the parking lot.
I got the news from a grandma reminding up to talk to our son about water. We do and he uses great judgment, but still. Very sad news.
I think the key word here is "abducted". Given the fact he was reported as a runaway and not abducted, the letter of the law was not met.

Thank God for letters of the law.

I would recommend you contact your legislator and ask that the language in the law be changed to accommodate what you feel it needs to.Thank God for letters of the law.

In this instance an amber alert would have done nothing. Frankly in a lot of cases it does nothing.
If you want peace, prepare for war.
Social media spreads news faster than an amber alert.
