SHERIFF’S OFFICE: Let’s show some gratitude

I would like to say first how glad I am that Linda Kent was found. I am sure there is nothing more frightening than to have a family member missing. It would seem however that the family’s anger is somewhat misdirected. Rather than blame the KCSO, maybe accept some of the blame yourselves. You as a family knew this lady had dementia and yet you let her go to the bathroom unattended? I don’t let my 5-year-old grandchild go to the bathroom without an escort. The trail was cold, and the KCSO and search team had already searched by every method possible. Let’s also remember that due to your inattentiveness as a family, thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds were used to search for your beloved family member. Of course, I think that those resources were well spent, so how about rather than criticizing the KCSO, have a little gratitude to both those that searched for her and those that foot the bill.
