(7,990 posts)Following a practice and alerted them, details not known, and following that the parents confronted their daughter who ended up running away from home. Contacting the parents was right. The basketball coach probably should have contacted the school counselor on how to proceed and a better outcome may have come out of this. That is water under the bridge but hopefully lessons are learned.
Nothing has been reported regarding what the parents did when their daughter went missing. Did they make a missing person report. If they did one would think that the first person police would have called was the girlfriend. (The 18 year old returned her home the next day). How did that go.
Next the police set up a "controlled phone call" where the younger daughter called her girlfriend where the parents and police listened in on the recorded call and had her read questions from a script and concluded with "how did that make you feel". Objection. Leading questions like this and secretly recording phone calls are both improper at best. (Laws applying to land line and cell phone calls are different, incredibly, just as paper and electronic data are treated differently). This is where things started to go off the track and means the younger girl is now at risk (she already ran away once) so both girls lives are being ruined. Why?
