This is clearly Wake (judging by her actions and Wake's comments in this thread)
If they are with someone with parents consent they are not missing. You argument makes no sense
Casey Anthony Trial: Jury Has Reached a Verdict - ABC News
Somehow I'm betting it's going to be guilty of manslaughter on the main count. I would guess 7 of the 7 counts guilty.
My argument makes perfect sense. Think about this for a minute.
You let your son go play at someone's house for the weekend. During that weekend, your child goes missing and isn't reported missing by either the parents of the kids house they were staying at or by you. Can those parents go down for not reporting YOUR kid missing? Should you go down because you weren't making sure your kid was safe, and thus allowing them up to 48 hours of being gone before reporting them gone? What if they go to summer camp, a 3 month stay, and go missing while at camp yet no one reports it, or even notices it? Kids might not report him missing if they were involved in his disappearance, like a "dare" to jump a small ditch that ends up sweeping the child away.
There are simply too many variables. The problem is.....the LAW makes no sense. I'm throwing out VERY real scenarios and they're hitting you out of left field so you're saying my argument makes no sense when it is in reality the stupid law that doesn't.
"Casey Marie Anthony walked out of the Orange County Jail in Florida a free woman early Sunday morning. Anthony's release occurred exactly three years from the day that she made her first court appearance on multiple charges related to the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
Anthony, dressed in a bright pink polo shirt and jeans, walked out of the jail booking center with her attorney, Jose Baez, at about 12:10 a.m. When she walked out, Anthony mouthed "thank you" to one of the heavily armed guards that escorted her and her attorney to a dark SUV.
An armed contingent of law enforcement officers held back a crowd of about 1,000 people who had gathered to watch Anthony's release. Some demonstrators waved placards while others shouted "Killer!" and "We hate you Casey!"

Nice try but if your kids are at another persons house they would still be under supervision. They would not be missing for days without your knowledge.
What about summer camp with hundreds of other kids? Children go missing every day and nobody knows it. You ever think that if someone realizes a child is missing and has no idea how long they've been gone, if they know they could go to jail for not having known earlier that this law could make them LESS likely to report the child missing?
And let me ask you this, how are you going to PROVE that someone knew the child was missing? What is the burden of proof on that smoke and mirrors law?
Sorry, you have failed to say why this law is reasonable, and I've presented many reasons why it is not. If you notice, it's me getting the "thanks", not you! LOL =)
