2 Grown Men and a 13 Yr Girl

[OldLady]

Here is the scenario. You are a cop and you see 2 grown ass men with a 13 year old girl asleep in a car parked at a gas station. You question the guys and talk to the girl. They tell you they are together and even produce a affidavit showing they have legal custody of the girl. What do you do next?

Buy my donut and leave?

Hmmm... Is there some law against two grown men being with a 13-year-old girl? I'm not really understanding what is to question here... nothing unusual was happening? They weren't trying to molest her or she wasn't naked... nothing? I mean.... I don't even get why a cop would question them. They were all asleep in the car?

I disagree. The cop certainly should have questioned them. What if your daughter had been kidnapped and sold into sex slavery?

On what basis? You can't be suggesting cops question every man with a teenage girl in their custody... that makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes, I understand there is a sex trade where girls are kidnapped. They usually don't run around sleeping in cars at gas stations though.

On the basis there is no family resemblance. if i saw two guys of any color with a 13 yr girl of any color and she didnt look like one of them they are getting questioned. Calls would be made on the spot.

Sorry... maybe it's the Libertarian in me but "no family resemblance" last I checked, wasn't a crime. I mean, if there was some other suspicious behavior... maybe so? But just the fact the girl looks different than the men isn't evidence a crime has happened.

It doesnt have to be a crime to question you. If there is reasonable suspicion something may be wrong you err on the side of safety for the minor. They were asleep in the parking lot of a gas station.

Wasn't it their younger sister? What would be wrong with a homeless family in their car, or traveling somewhere and didn't want to pay for a room? What is the cop suspecting?

No. It was their student. From what someone said its illegal to sleep in your car. If I was a cop the first thing I would suspect is she was kidnapped if she didnt look like them to me. I would be open to evidence that killed that assumption though.

Ok. I read the article. I actually agree my 13 year old wouldn't be going anywhere performing with two men unless I knew them super well. Maybe she does; in that case it's okay. The cops were acting like pigs, regardless. They CUFFED those guys with a legal affidavit? They gave the mother a hard time? Pigs.
