Talk with Mom
Well, I called my Mom yesterday and told her I thought we should sue the sheriff's dept for not finding Harley in time, but she doesn't think it would work. She thinks they did the best they could. But I don't see how, when people have been found in the middle of the ocean, and at the bottom of the river with engines tied to them, how could they not find one guy in a lake? I bet if he had been some rich kid who didn't have a police record, they would have found him. Also, how can that lodge continue to operate the way they do, with no lifeguards or boat police patrols, when other people have died there before Harley? How many more people have to die before they decide that would be worth doing?
Mom just thought I was miserable because Harley's birthday is in 12 days, and that might be true, but I also know the police really don't care about poor people or those with police records. And they would have gotten paid the same whether they found him or not, so why try? She told me to call the dept and ask to see reports, so I can see exactly what was done to try and find him, but they probably would have just made something up.
