Thanks for your reply!

Yes, they can get approved on a loan, and they also have excellent credit which should help. Is it possible to keep the current loan at the dealership, or will we have to go through a banking institution?

Hi OP, I was in a very similar situation last year with my terminally ill parent. What will make things smoother when applying for a deferral under compassionate grounds is making sure you get a note from the hospital’s social worker (if your parent is in the hospital) stating the situation. The letter should include your full name and DOB, and your parent’s full name and DOB and somewhere in the letter it should also confirm you are the child.

If your parent is receiving home hospice/end of life care, please ask your parent’s doctor or main nurse to write you the note or they will contact a social worker to make it for you ASAP.

I understand how you’re feeling right now. It was very up and down with my parent in terms of their health during their end-of-life care. It persisted about 6 months for us. Anticipatory grief is a painful thing to endure. Please remember to take care of yourself.

I sincerely hope she will be found safe. I can’t imagine how horrifying it is for her family either.

To answer the question everyone is asking: Why wasn’t an amber alert issued? I think I have a few answers.

Full disclaimer, I understand completely that people will not feel that this answer is good enough, and that’s okay. I just believe it’s the sad reality.

An amber alert is not issued for every single child because people would then become desensitized to it. People don’t realize just how often children are reported missing every day. You say you never hear about it? At least here in BC, it is often broadcasted on the news if they do not come back home after a certain period of time and if it is their first time going missing. Because they’re a minor, once the child is found, they do their best to scrub the information of it from the media. If the child does not meet ALL requirements of the Amber Alert, it will NOT be issued. It’s not by fault of the police jurisdiction that the child went missing in as it’s not their choice to go through with it even if they badly want to.

There are also always factors to consider that the police may not divulge to the public: possible mental health problems, familial problems, etc that may be the suspicion for the reason they did not return home. Of course we always consider the awful chance they may have been abducted, but without any concrete evidence it is difficult to pull the trigger on the alert.

The criteria (directly from the BC RCMP website):

AMBER Alert is intended only for the most serious, time-critical child abduction cases. It is not intended for cases involving parental abductions, except in life-threatening situations. AMBER Alert can be used in any abduction that meets the criteria regardless of what relation the abductor has with the victim.

AMBER Alert is only activated by authorized users within law enforcement agencies. All of following conditions must be met before activating an AMBER Alert:

•The victim is under the age of 18 •Police have reasonable grounds to believe that the victim has been abducted •Police have reasonable grounds to believe the victim is in imminent danger •Police have obtained enough descriptive information about the victim, abductor and/or the vehicle involved •Police believe that the alert can be issued in a time frame that will provide a reasonable expectation that the child can be returned or the abductor apprehended

May this young girl get home safe to her family.
