Well I talked with the 2nd in command at the police station who is now (different from the officer) telling me they are worried about her being abducted. I politely reminded him she could be abducted from my front yard or between here and the bus stop realistically and this is a risk every child faces every day in all places.
He went on to say he would look into this and if child protective serves says I'm wrong blah blah blah but that isn't too much of a concern to me because there is no law being violated and I am certainly not expecting her to ride in unacceptable conditions. I will keep y'all updated as to what happens with this situation for sure.
