In Casey's case, the minute she told her mother that the "babysitter" had her kid is the minute she would be accused of not reporting a missing child. The law is pretty enforceable as people tend to ask questions when they don't see children after while that parents/guardians have to answer at a certain point with a lie or the truth.Which is the most absurd law that will ever be written.
How the hell do you enforce it? What if they are in the care of someone else, a babysitter, grandparents, a nanny? What if you're on a 2 week vacation and the child goes missing during that time frame? What if they go missing while at a sleepover? What if they go missing at a summer camp? Are the parents held liable, the summer camp people? It's ridiculous.
I mean what time frame will you put before it becomes a crime, and how will you PROVE that the parents knew the child was missing at all and didn't think they were "at Bobbys house" or anywhere else, for that matter?
It's a stupid, "feel good" law that is completely unenforceable unless the time frame stated is stated in months.
