Baby Blue

So my baby's with me this weekend. Yay! So happy. I did have to take her to the vet to get her shots, though. But she was a trooper. Didn't even flinch. Wish I was that brave.

Some news that's been on my mind has been the disappearance of Mitrice Richardson. She was arrested at a restaurant in Malibu for not paying an expensive meal and showing signs of mental illness. The police ended up releasing her because they didn't have enough room at the jail. So they let her wander off in the middle of a night, in an unfamiliar area with no cellphone or money. Are you serious?? She has not been seen since she left the station, which was ten days ago. Yes, she's an adult, but she was obviously having some kind of issue for her to be arrested in the first place. The police are also supposed to protect, and they failed in this case. She was supposed to be under their protection since they took her into custody. They should feel no guilt if she single-handedly got herself into a dangerous situation. But once they chose to get involved, that totally changed who needs to take some responsibility.

I can't say I'm optimistic this story will have a happy ending, but I can always hope.
