Hiding a Fugitive

The plaintiffs say their teenage daughter dated the defendants’ son and she ran away from home. They claim the defendants denied knowing where their child was even after SWAT teams searched for her, but she was actually hiding out with her boyfriend. The plaintiffs are suing for pain and suffering. The defendants say the girl told them she was being abused, so they thought they were protecting her. They’re countersuing for harassment.

She let her in and hid her the first time, now the husband is letting her come over whenever because "it's legal". It's probably an underhanded way to get his wife a bigger sentence during her trial to get back at her (and probably make the divorce proceedings easier on his end).

[@dessean1]

This defendant, the male, knew exactly where this missing young girl was despite his trying to convince everyone otherwise. He was 100% aware that this fugitive was in his home but due to the nature of his employment, the wife, who also knew the whereabouts of this young girl, chose to accept total responsibility for the incident in order to secure & save the employment of her husband. I can also assure you that this father has no control over anyone in the home, least of all the son in question. Also, someone in authority needs to look into whether this guy is a real bonafide therapist & should ha even be allowed to work with our youth because we all know that such certificates can be purchased online for a nominal cost.

As soon as he said he didn't want to lose his job for this, I already had a feeling he was putting the blame on his wife, especially when he basically insulted her with her heart being bigger than her brain. It clearly shows he feels superior to her and that she's submissive to him. When at the end she said her husband was the one who did it, I wasn't surprised. She got spooked when they said she could go to prison for this. If he laughed in court for harboring a missing child in his home and actually smiled when the judge read those text messages, it's not that hard to see what's going on. She's even the one who had to tell him to stop laughing, but he didn't, which says a lot about who he is. She clearly knew, but he most likely told her not to say anything to the police. It's still her fault for not telling the police, but it's strange that first she said she didn't know because she had work, but then went along with it when her husband blamed her, then backtracked at the mention of going to prison. It's a huge mess and a big divorce. I'm not one bit surprised he tried to throw her under the bus to save his own ass.

i totally disagree with the verdict , both the plaintiffs and the defendants are not totally credible , the judge should have not awarded the plaintiffs for messing up their own daughter to the point that their own daughter hates her mother , there is most likely alot that the plaintiffs are not revealing about things that they let happen to their daughter when she was a child .

When I first saw the comments I was amazed at how many people were saying the father knew, but as I watched more, it became more and more alarming how cruel he is. There are several tells. Trying to focus more on him not wanting to lose his job vs. the parents pain of thinking the worst happened to their daughter. Easily tossing his wife under the bus and easily saying his wife has more heart than brain and her not even flinching from that. Him continuing to allow the daughter into his house knowing full well as a "counselor" that action would continue to cause a rift. Him then trying to say he's not going to go against a judges order when he knows damn well the judge didn't order the daughter into his house, the judge just said it wasn't illegal for her to visit. And most alarmingly, he was smiling as Judge M read those atrocious texts between the daughter and his son and he ONLY looked worried or contrite when she focused on him. I GENUINELY hope he lost his job and can't find employment dealing with children and kids.

[@Clepticomet]

The texts were used as evidence that the father didnt know but Im now realizing it was probably staged to clear his name before giving up

[@TheAray6]

Exactly! Why would he want her in his house with all the drama that was caused and just knowing his wife can go to jail following this incident. If he didn’t know and he was so angry with his son he would have grounded him for life. He can’t have any company come over especially this girl. Only reason he would have to keep allowing her into the house is to be cruel.

You would THINK, as a mother herself, she would have AT LEAST had the decency to call the girl's Mom and say "Your daughter is with me in our home. She is safe. You can come pick her up if you want to, or she is welcome to stay her for a day or two until she calms down. But to OUTRIGHT LIE and deny that they know where the plaintiff's daughter is (when she is right there in their home) is just insane. They SHOULD be charged with obstruction and more.

As someone who spent five years in the Missing Children’s Division at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, these defendants make my blood boil. They should have been charged with so much more than a single count of obstruction (and I wouldn’t be opposed to someone wiping that smug grin from the male defendant’s face. Hard.) I’ve heard the desperation in parents’ voices while their child is missing. They don’t sleep, they don’t eat, they barely function as they inevitably think up all the horrific things that might be happening to that child. I’ve also had cases that included those horrors, and ones who never made it home. That anyone would put someone else through that trauma is honestly one of the most appalling things I’ve ever seen - and I saw a lot working for NCMEC. They are disgusting human beings, and brava to Judge Milian for taking them to task.

When I was 18 I lived on my own and my 16 year old girlfriend got in a fight with her parents ran away from home. She came to my house telling me what she had done. She said she was going to move in and she didn't want her parents to know where she was. I knew her parents would be besides themselves with worry so I went behind her back and called her mom and told her where she was and that I would be respectful and try and convince her to go home. My girlfriend got mad at me for pushing her to go home but she finally did. Unfortunately her parents let it slip that I had ratted her out. She broke up with me. I really loved her but I still to this day, and especially now as a parent, think I did the right thing.
