Madness Continues

Ameri is on the phone with her mom now. Last evening she had been in a fist fight with the boy in the home where she was staying. She left there and walked into the police station several blocks away. I tracked the payphones and found that she did take a circuitous route.

The offer to Ameri is that I will get her on a plane today for home. Her counter is that she has a new boyfriend in St. Louis and will go there. To someone this is perfectly reasonable behavior. After all, she is eighteen. She can make her own decisions. Madness is afoot. It is affecting all those who come in contact with Ameri. After all, she is uncooperative and annoying.

Here is our dilemma. The authorities want us to do something. If we do go there and forcibly put her in a car, we are then liable for kidnapping charges. If we just let her be we are innocent of anything. We have the right to let her be until we are asked by some coroner's office to come identify a corpse.
