I saw that story about the Moab cops some time ago. I really think it’s unfair to impose even the slight discipline that they got. It seems (at least the version I read) that they violated policy by not arresting the alleged perpetrator, but they were just trying to give the kids a break, and instead of an arrest, just suggested that they spend the night apart. A terrible tragedy happened afterward, but cops are neither mind readers nor fortune tellers. Arresting Gabby (or for that matter, digging deeper and concluding that they should arrest Laundrie) would ultimately not have prevented this lunatic from doing what he did.
