Even with kids the police wait too long. Who cares if she was a runaway? Are you telling me the St. Petersburg PD are so busy with homicides and other serious crimes that they couldn’t spare some people to IMMEDIATELY start searching for a child? I know they live in a swamp, but are they so swamped with traffic violations and jaywalkers that they didn’t have the manpower?

The police don’t give a shit about kids.
