You STILL can't get in to your thick head she should have called the cops the SECOND she found the child not drive around for hours going to her friends home,I pray for the kids where you live because you don't think there is anything wrong in picking up a child that is walking down the street.

I watched some of the trial on TV and from what I heard and saw I still side with her (As did the jury).

I do understand why you think she should have called the police first. I understand why she didn't.

You have your opinion and I have mine.

You don't need to worry about the kids in my neighborhood.....you need to worry about the kids in YOUR school district.

(She drove around for 90 minutes).

"Laurinda Drake picked up a young boy who was walking down the road by himself. Laurinda Drake thought she was doing a good deed.*Drake brought him back to her home while she made some telephone calls to the school."*
"Drake sent the boy to the superintendent’s office because she distrusted the school. Drake was then questioned by police for kidnapping and arrested for the alleged abduction. Laurinda Drake was tried in court, where the jury acquitted her of the charges."
