Society has no use for those who harm children. I can barely imagine the
Lord's anger at those who harm children. Sickens me!
I am grateful to know that this sweet, beautiful little child is now home and safe with her loving Heavenly Father.
May the Lord bless this family with peace and comfort during this difficult time.

this is extremely sad. no child or family deserves this. why are there so many
sick people out ther?! She was just a little girl! I pray for the family. And
the justice system!
Ryan | 11:07 a.m. April 2, 2008
Can they PLEASE pass legislation that gives law enforcement the power to
forcibly enter any and all residences within a certain vicinity of the
child's home? Time is so, so crucial in these situations, and the police
simply CANNOT be sitting on their hands waiting for a silly warrant while a
child may be in peril inside some sick lunatic's basement.
May the family find peace and comfort (and generous donations from concerned citizens) in their time of need.

No parent or family should have to go through the tragedy you and so many other
familys have went through,My heart and prayers argo out to you.
so sorry | 11:12 a.m. April 2, 2008
I hope that somehow inside this family can heal and not hate. They came here
from a horrible place to find some peace in America and found horror. I am so
sorry to this family and disgusted with the one who did harm to this child. To
those of you who wish forgivness on this man I say no way. ANY one who harms
children should be dealt with swiftly and severly. NO TOLERATION should be
adopted as the slogan in Utah to anyone who harms ,molests or hurts children.
That should be the picture we paint to anyone thinking about moving here. From
anyplace in this world. We the people of Utah will not be tolerant of any one
who does harm to children. EVER.

I am so sorry for this family. My heart breaks and tears flow freely. May God
bless and comfort them at this tragic time.
An American Mother | 11:45 a.m. April 2, 2008
I came here to say something, only to find that 'so sorry' had already
stated my thoughts in the first sentence. This family came to America for
safety and security they could not find in their homeland, only to have this
horrible thing happen here, in the land where they thought their dreams would
come true.
To the family: Please understand that we are all not like that here. Most of us are friendly and good people. I hope you feel welcome here among us. I hope you understand that our city grieves with you, for all your beautiful daughter could have been, to all of us. Now we will never know what a great contribution she could have been to our community. Truly, we have all lost so much in the loss of your beautiful child.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The police reported that they didn't have enough evidence to proceed to
enter the apartment where this poor child was. Hello!, what more evidence do
you need than there's been an abduction of a small child in the complex!
That's the evidence right in front of your face. Poor job, Salt Lake
Police Department!!

Please stop advocating our backslide into a dictatorial 3rd world police state.

How dare you point your finger at the SL Police Department! Obviously you have no understanding of due process and the law. Police must do everything according to the law, or they have no case. You don't want the suspect to get off on a technicality do you? The fact that a girl is missing in the area is not considered evidence. Try and understand the law before you criticize it.

Ron | 12:23 p.m. April 2, 2008
The laws need changed... every apartment and home within a mile should be
searched immediately when a child comes up missing... the laws need to protect
the property owner or renter by stipulating anything found not relevant to the
missing child cannot be used against the owner or renter�
they have immunity in that search but the search WILL take place whether or not
the owner is home and whether or not the police are given permission to search
the property! A child�s life should supersede any law on
the books. I would expect an outcry from the ACLU people and other attorneys but
if it were their child you�d hear nothing, kinda like an
atheist in a foxhole. How many children are killed and the bodies found within a
mile or their disappearance? It�s time to protect our most
precious commodity, our children. We will find out at what hour this child was
killed and will then know if her life could and should have been saved by
changing the laws. maybe a vigilante group could do the search, a clean search
and then find a sharp attorney to get them off?
Anonymous | 12:31 p.m. April 2, 2008
so sad that you have to worry about letting your child play out in their OWN
neighborhood!!!!!!!!! What a sad sad world we live in these days.
Re: Science Teacher | 12:41 p.m. April 2, 2008
You're taking a very reasonable suggestion too far. No one is advocating a
slide into any kind of police state. What they are advocating is the ability to
conduct thorough and time-sensitive searches that could end up saving lives.
Frankly, I'm a little sickened that you don't see the worth in that.
Camille | 12:37 p.m. April 2, 2008
Last night when I saw on the news the tragic end of this sweet little girl, I
could not sleep, I cried. What is happening here in this so-called land of
freedom and opportunity??!!! This family came here to find that, only to get
worse. I don't understand why this had to happen?? I see on TV when
there's a dog that is in trouble and the owner of the animal isn't
home the Humane Society or Animal Control just go on the property and take it.
So why not in this case of a sweet little girl and very defenseless when she
tried to leave and was forced to say and because of it she died. If the police
had just gone in whether some answers the door or not maybe there could have
been a different outcome. So sad when it gets to the point that one can't
even trust their own neighbors and at times one's own family. May God and
this community help this family.
Big Al | 12:45 p.m. April 2, 2008
When my own children were young we enjoyed watching nature shows on TV. However,
I found certain scenes from these programs very disturbing--those showing a male
adult lion killing a cub, or a giant sea lion killing a helpless young sea lion
on the beach. I would have to explain to my children, "The wild animals
don't really know any better--they have no morals or conscience. They only
act upon base instinct, and they have no capacity to feel hurt or sorrow or
guilt for doing things that seem so cold and heartless."
The gulf between humanity and wild beasts seemed so wide back then . . .

Issues with forced entry | 12:49 p.m. April 2, 2008
Even if you could legally make entry into a home or business when the owners are
not present it creates all kinds of problems for you. Once the police enter the
building they become liable for the building and its contents until the owners
return. The police would then have to stay at the building until the owners
return. That would take away huge manpower.
The basic concept sounds great but the reality is not practical or legal.

I agree that in a time of abduction all homes withing a half mile radius should
be searched immediately. I am more than willing to give up my right to privacy
in a time of emergency. here our legislature is so concernced about making up
stricter carseart laws to please the carseat lobbyist, yeah force parents to
keep a child in his carseat until age 8 but if they go missing to look in
soemone elses house would be an infringment of privacy. Get some priorities
legislature.
Swarly | 1:03 p.m. April 2, 2008
Anonymous is right, if the police had entered illegally than any evidence would
be thrown out and this crazy guy would probably get set free. You cannot let
the police choose when and when not to obey the law, they must ALWAYS obey the
law. That is something that separates us from crappy countries. If it is an
issue, the law needs to be changed, but it isn't changed right now so they
did everything they legally could.
1HappyFamily88 | 12:57 p.m. April 2, 2008
How tragic this all is. Now *2* families are hurting because of the actions of
this individual. I can pass judgement so easily on this individual that has
committed this terrible act, and his actions should be condemed. With that
said, what brought him to this point? What happened to this individual who once
was pure and innocent to cause him to bring sadness into this world? Can we look
around any of our neighborhoods and see individuals who may be on the brink of
committing any crime, crying out for assistance to have a better life. Myself,
I commit that I will see those begging for help, and I will do all that I can to
prevent this from happening to my loved ones, or to someone I should reach out
to and love.
Peace be in all of our hearts and may we each commit to do better

This is such a tragedy. It is unspeakable difficult to express the outrage and

family. I encourage all others to do something productive to help ease the pain
for this family.
Swarly | 1:06 p.m. April 2, 2008
Another idea. People want the police busting doors down in a mile radius? Do
you have any idea how many homes and how much damage that would cause? Say
I'm on vacation when something like this occurs, now I got a busted door or
a busted window for a week or two? Then my tv's get stolen, cars get
stolen, chaos crime and looting break out? I know the little girls life is
priceless, but the constitution and the bill of rights were inspired for a
reason.
Anonymous | 1:01 p.m. April 2, 2008
Re: Issues with forced entry...perhaps this would stand true in a private home,
or if force is used to open the door...but in an apartment complex, the manager
of the apartment has the authority to assist the police by opening the door for
them in an emergency.
Terrible | 1:07 p.m. April 2, 2008
Hate to throw this out there but what about this 21 year olds life groing up. In
no way I condone what he did, but what kind of upbringing did he have to committ
such a terribke crime. Here in the states we always talk about, "what were
the parents like", or, "as he/she abused"? This kid could have
gone through all that and then some. Do we just forget about that? Prayers and
thoughts go out to the childs family and to this guy and his family.
To: Science Teacher | 1:09 p.m. April 2, 2008
I have to agree with RE: Science Teacher. I would have no problem with police
searching my home if I was not there to give consent if it made the process as
quick as possible to find children in danger. As a citizen who is concerned for
our children... why would there be a problem with that? A little inconvenience
on my part is nothing compared to saving a child's life.
Laws | 1:16 p.m. April 2, 2008
In the first place, these were not Salt Lake City police, they were South Salt
Lake police.
Sure, the legislature could pass a law allowing the police to kick down every door within a half-mile radius of the home of a missing child, but the Utah or U.S. Supreme Courts would throw it out in a heartbeat because it violates the Constitutional prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.
The South Salt Lake Police DID search every house where someone was home and freely permitted them to come in and search.

G | 1:12 p.m. April 2, 2008
The police can break into a home under the pretense of rescuing someone who is
in danger. Do you think they would hesitate doing so if the house was on fire? I
hope not. In the case of imminent danger, such as a missing child, the police
should be able to enter anyplace anytime to search, especially where the owner
resists or is not answering the door. If I'd been there, as a citizen,
I'd have kicked in the door, had the cops arrest me for breaking and
entering, the cops would then have to search the place in order to secure it,
hopefully they'd find the kid safe, and I'd plead my case in court.
Another thing, this had to have been an apartment, doesn't the landlord
have a right of entry? It just doesn't seem right that the cops waited so
long to get into the place.
Agreeing with Science Teacher | 1:17 p.m. April 2, 2008
While certainly every possible means should be used to search when a child is
missing, I don't want to come home from work or vacation where I've
been gone from my house to find my door kicked in because the police were
searching for a missing child from up the street and needed to conduct the
search in a "time-sensitive" manner (reasonable suggestion from Ryan
& tvb). The laws are very clear and were designed to protect all of us from
police searches without a warrant. I have children and it would destroy me if
any of them were hurt or injured or worse by another. But bypassing our
constitutional protections here will then find us bypassing them in other areas
as well. And frankly I'm a little sickened that some of you don't see
the terrible harm that would cause to every member of our society. Every LEGAL
means at the disposal of the police department and searchers should be used-
this isn't it. There has to be other ways to accomplish this besides
trampling on our constitutional rights.
That said, I am heartbroken by the death of another child by someone so evil & vile. God bless.

Just wondering if you have something to hide? I pray your not my child's science teacher!!!

You guys don't get it do you. It's not a matter of the State being
strong and passing a law permitting entrance into every home within some
predetermined radius. A law like that would be struck down as contrary to the
U.S. constitution. It wouldn't even be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court
because it is such a clear violation.
The idea sounds great, but it is short-sighted and fails to fully comprehend the many many problems and abuses it would cause.

I am so sickened by the loss of this sweet little girl. I want to express my
love to this family and hope they may be comforted in this tragic time. Their
sweet daughter is in her Father in Heaven's presence and is now happy and
safe.
In response to Science Teacher, can you honestly say that if your child was abducted, you wouldn't want the police to enter every home in search for your child, whether they had a warrant or not? I don't understand why legislation can't be passed to forcibly enter all premises within a half-mile radius when there is a child abduction. Certainly there may be provisions set in place to only use forcible entry where a child's life is in danger. After the recent losses of two sweet, innocent girls in our own community, I think most people would submit to that law when there is a child abduction. We live in a dangerous world now, and we can't be too careful with our children.

So sad, and opening the barely-healed wounds of what happened with Destiny.
But the idea of allowing police to search every house in the vicinity without consent is too much. Some here have already pointed out some reasons why, and they've just scratched the surface if we're honest and deliberate about it. Our Founding Father's knew this, and that's why they set our Constitution up like they did.
At the end of the day, we do what we reasonably can, but evil exists in the world and will rear it's terrible head from time to time.

Change the law so it's legal to search without permission on missing or
kidnapped kids.. like (Anonymous 1:01 p.m.)stated the apartment complex manager
has the authority to assist the police by opening the door for them in an
emergency, and if he doesn't change the law an give him the authority to do
so.. Pass laws to help save childrens' lives, we pass laws against smoking
indoors beacuse it's a health issue... we owe it to the children! If you
have no children I don't ecpect you to understand...if it were your child,
I promise, you'd break down the door yourself.. Ron
Tenderheart | 1:36 p.m. April 2, 2008
Are you sure you want to give the police power to break down doors and
search anytime they wish?
My mother visited Communist Russia before its fall and said it was the safest place in the world. She knew no harm would come to her even walking alone at night because of police informants and swift, unquestioned punishment for even minor offenses. Whole groups could be deported to Siberia on a whim or just disappear.
The evils which take place in a free society are less than the evils which take place in a police state. You cannot have it both ways. Either the police are in charge or the citizenry is in charge. Fortunately in America you still get to vote for your choice - but that could change if we don't continue to stand up for freedom.

"No one is advocating a slide into any kind of police state" That is
exactly what is being suggested here. Do you honestly think that giving up your
rights will stop atrocities like this? We don't even know how long she was
in his apartment before being killed. He could have killed her within minutes of
abducting her.
I am the father of a 6 year old girl. I cannot imagine losing her like this family lost their daughter. My deepest sympathies are with them. However, throwing our rights away out of grief will not stop this from happening.
There is a sickness in our world, a disregard for the sanctity of life. We can protect our loved ones best by working to cure this sickness, not through gallant but ultimately foolish gestures.

Perhaps you've heard of something called the Constitution? It is a document that helps protect against police breaking into one's home without reasonable cause and other protections that make this country what it is.

Are you people listening to yourselves? "Oh yeah, police should just be able to break in anywhere if there's a missing kid." What a stupid thing to say. Laying aside constitutional rights, what if you were one of the people living within that 1/2 mile radius that you're proposing would be fair game to the police? I'm sure most people would be willing to allow a search, but to give up our rights because maybe something bad might sometime be prevented is just plain stupid.
Legislation shouldn't be based on emotion.

I cant believe that there are people that are suggesting to take away my 4th
amendment rights. I am sick thinking what happened to that little girl. If you
seem to think that the police didn't want to find her and were not doing
everything in their power to save her, then you are just plain ignorant! Did
you not see the press confrence last night with the police chief crying as he
let everyone know that she had been killed?
Our 4th amendment rights are some of the greatest points that our Great Country has been founded on. Maybe those who want to change it should read and UNDERSTAND what it means and what we would loose without it. I have a child and I would do everything to save my child. But, if the law is broken to find her, the person who did this would get of with no punishment and that would hurt even more. Thankfully these laws have been in place and will continue to be in place.

Even if there was a law to allow breaking into houses, it wouldn't have
saved Destiny and it probably wouldn't have helped in this case. Destiny
was dead before any search began. And, even when the search did occur, they
searched the perp's house twice, without needing to break down any doors.
And they still didn't find Destiny.
