A four year old out at 9pm? Call me old-fashioned but why wasn't she safely tucked up in bed?

Hoping for a happy outcome :please:
 
Well, my 2.5 year old doesn't go to bed until 9:30. But we aren't outside that late.

I think her weight must be wrong. She doesn't look like she's 60 pounds to me.

I hope she is found safe. I wonder if she is related to John Lieba.
 
I found a John Lieba from Wolf Point on FB. Don't want to post it in case it's not the same one. The page is basically empty except for a profile picture from 2011 where he looks like a teenager.
 
Why in %& would you let a 4 year old outside without a parent or relative??? That's abuse, I hope this toddler is found and alive and the parents charged with neglect

Is he possibly her father? I wonder how they knew quickly to suspect him, if he's not.

Interesting, he has marks on his face from an earlier assault. There's a lot not being said here.
 
In fairness to the family, this appears to be an Indian reservation, and the culture is different there. The standards and behaviors of parents in the mainstream population of the US are more watchful, and on the "res", much less so. From what I can tell, CPS handles benign neglect differently on reservations than in the general population.

Edited to add: here's a link that's the basis of my statement. The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 which was designed to allow children to be left in their families in cases of simple or "benign" neglect. First Nations families were losing their children to CPS at an astounding rate, and so it was decided to look the other way when children were supervised to a much lesser standard than mainstream families.

What the heck ? Make it stop! Too many missing babies!
 
I hope this doesn't end bad but I do not like it one bit!
 
I wish we knew if they are family.

My 4 year would be scared out that late! :( Hope she's okay...sigh. Too many babies being snatched and lost...
 
Yes. This. I am from FL originally now living in WA and have learned so much about Native life... it is indeed very different... the Marysville shooting proved that, as well :/

John's facebook says he is from Dallas, TX. Would he head back south?
 
a much better clearer photo of M in that flyer. Really shows her personality and without the hoodie I think she will be much more recognizable.
