"Unsafe position" my ass. How does it suddenly become unsafe when she turns 14 (all in the officer's opinion of course)? Are adults never abducted? Reading this thread has me incredibly riled up. I hope these idiots in-charge get what they deserve.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm over 30 and have received the same kind of BS, lame advice from the police in my area. "What you are doing isn't illegal but it's unsafe so stop it."
