My 14 year old daughter went to a roller skating rink last night with some friends. While there, she was approached by a 21 year old and a 15 year old, both males, both acquaintances. They asked her to go to the movies, she said yes, and they left the rink property.
It was noticed she was missing, and we (the parents) were called right as they walked back in the door. We have no idea how long they were gone.
We immediately went and got her, and went directly to the police station to report the incident. Our daughter says they only went to the movies, and that nothing of a sexual nature took place.
We were told by the officer that since she went along willingly, and she's not admitting to any sexual activity, that no crime had been committed. No report was filed, because no crime had been committed. The officer got the 21 year olds phone number, called him, and told him to cease all contact with the minor.
Can someone verify that what the officer said is true?? I am having a really hard time believing that any adult, without our consent, can take my daughter anywhere they want as long as she goes along willingly. I can't believe that a minor is granted that type of authority to make those decisions.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My blood is boiling right now, so I hope this all makes sense.
