I agree, and in my opinion, they should win.They should sue and they will win in my opinion.

I have no doubt that if given the choice between any large amount of money and having Amber back, they would choose to have Amber back.
It would be hard enough to lose your child in a car accident, or to cancer... almost unbearable, really... but, to lose your daughter because she was simply walking to school and was abducted by a sex offender, raped, stabbed and murdered, and then having to wait over a year to even find out where she was, or what had happened to her, is nothing short of brutal.
The kind of torment that Amber's parents have had to endure is inconceivable to me- and what makes it even worse, is that it was so unnecessary.
Maybe if more large settlements are awarded to victim's families, the courts will start to think twice about the leniency they show to sex offenders.
~I don't think even one day has gone by, since I learned Amber was abducted, that I haven't thought of her, and her family. I have never met any of them, but this 'case' bothered me even more than most that I follow.
Something about Amber, and the pictures of Amber that her family shared with us/ the public, and the fact that it was the day before Valentine's Day and she had valentines with her to pass out to her friends, and a check to buy a lamb.....
and along came a monster, named John Gardner, who should not have been out in free society to begin with.

Has anyone heard an actual figure? The article mentions "in excess of $25,000" but the rumor has that they are seeking $20 million. Does anyone know for sure?

I doubt they would be able to win a claim since it doesn't appear that the parole office was negligent in this case. They had the information and made decisions based on that, which is their perogative. And in any event, he was off parole at the time so they had no supervision, unlike Garrido in the Dugard case.
