10 years ago, i had a problem with my phone freezing up, and i would have to take the back cover off and take the battery out and out it back in. One night, it froze up, i was tired and i took it apart etc. and put it back together and hit a random button by accident, then the case pinched down on the volume button and I accidentally reset my phone and lost all my pictures and cried bc I didn't have the cloud set up for back up. It wasn't easy to do, but it was a series of errors on my part!
I'm thinking it would have helped had JS not known Maddie was deceased (which is a stretch, but could be possible). I think it will always be beneficial whenever a child doesn't make it to school in the morning. The only time it wouldn't matter IMO is if the parent already knew why the child didn't make it to school (sick, out of town, deceased).
So... it sounds like the way to "accidently" factory reset a phone is to remove the battery and put it back in, hit a random button, then pinch the case down on the volume button. Yeah, SS did that "accidentally" the day Maddie was killed. *eyeroll*
It is sad, Whats the reason they didnt call until the evening ? How many kids are absent in a day? I doubt enough that it would consume someone's day calling to notify ?
It may not have prevented her death but it would have helped in this case, it would have made it a lot harder for him to get around looking for a place to hide a body. He returned home at 8:19am no-one knows what he did until he was caught on camera (well we don't, LE does) We know he was at the site where Madi was left, at 1:30ish. I'd imagine if Jenn was too tired to drive Madi to school, she probably didn't leave the house right away(spec) I dont know if Jenn was home all day or not, but he says he was. Where was Madi?
Personally I think the evening absence calls are more for logistical reasons, but cases like these (and Audrii Cunninghams for example) are pushing schools to alert parents for more urgent reasons such as Maddie’s absence. If that makes sense. In other words, the absent call system is not utilized as a “alarm” system, until things like these happen and they implement it. MOO.
Just an aside....School districts have different absence reporting time to the state. The district must decide what time or what period that students will be counted absent which becomes a state record. I don't believe that there are districts that report students absent as soon as the first bell rings. Just my MOO from previous experience from Texas.
So how the heck does he tell JS your daughter is missing, AND oh by the way, I "accidentally" reset my phone that day. <modsnip>
I understand every state, even every country may be different. perhaps different ages make a difference also. Im in Canada, elementary kids ( unless called in absent) get a notification right away. I get a notification when the bus is late arriving to school on snowy days, I also get a text if the bus is late picking kids up. ( Im sure it's an automated system) Middle school may be different. I guess the district has to determine whats important about reporting for each age group.
Phones are different now , we can no longer remove batteries, ( unless its a flip ) I'd need to first unlock my phone,
<modsnip: Quoted post was modsnipped>
and..... on top of all that the vape shop was closed... reminds me of a Daniel Powter song (bad day)
Just providing a slightly different perspective… south florida school reference…
Has it been reported that SS told JS any of that?
IIRC, the courtTV guy calls SS, 'Mr. accidently-reset', I'm British, so the sarcasm is obvious and I chuckle.
I still do not understand how a guy his age, who had 'OK' tech knowledge, thought that 'accidentally resetting' his phone was gonna fly with LE. Why did he think that was NOT going to raise the sus meter even higher?!
I think that was his only option at that point, as saying he lost his phone makes him look suspicious too. Maybe even more-so in his mind.
