ChatGPT's Analogy of the Police's First Response.
You have heard about "ChatGPT", "Copilot", the artificial intelligence that can give answers to just about anything. So, the Stones decided to present the known undisputable facts of Timothy's case to ChatGPT. Below is the conversation with Open AI "ChatGPT" concerning what should have been the "first response" by the police for a kidnapping.
Stone said:
Based on the following writing, can you tell me what the police's first response should have been? ...
A 911-CALL from Timothy Stone on January 9, and January 15, 2024, to El Mirage Police set-forth the fact of his missing Children. El Mirage Police eventually arrived and were given the details as set-forth herein.
On January 9, 2024, around 4 p.m. Timothy Stone returned to his home in El Mirage, AZ and found his 3-Sons, missing. His 10 and 3 year-old are autistic. At the time of the disappearance, Timothy was waiting to be released from the hospital ICU after treatment for a diabetic episode when Timothy's babysitter, forced the children to leave the residence and placed them in Tim's car and transported them to their estranged mother said to be at an unknown location.
The babysitter was well aware of the following facts: She was not authorized to use Timothy's car to transport his children or to remove them from the residence; She was aware of the fact that the children's mother, had abandoned the children on March 22, 2023, and fled to Las Vegas, NV with plans to never return; She knew of the Protective Order issued by the El Mirage Court on April 6, 2023, against the mother, and that the Las Vegas Police made several attempts to serve her the protective order which she evaded; and she knew and knows of the mother's numerous visits to psychiatric wards for saying, among other admissions, that she wanted to kill herself and leave her Children.

The police's first response should have been to treat the situation as a child abduction case and respond with urgency. Based on the 911 call and the details provided, their response should have included the following actions:
Immediate Dispatch of Officers – Given that two of the missing children are autistic and were taken without authorization, officers should have been sent to the scene right away to gather information.
Issuing an Amber Alert (If Criteria Met) – If the children were in imminent danger, an Amber Alert should have been considered to notify the public and surrounding law enforcement agencies.
Interviewing the Reporting Parent (Timothy Stone) – Officers should have taken a full statement from Timothy, including details about the children's last known whereabouts, the unauthorized removal by Brittany Houston, and any relevant custody/protective orders.
Verifying and Enforcing the Protective Order – Since there was a protective order against the children's mother, police should have confirmed its validity.
Coordinating with Other Agencies – If there was a possibility that the children had been taken across state lines or to Las Vegas, coordination with neighboring law enforcement agencies, including Nevada authorities, should have begun immediately.
Ensuring the Safety of the Children – The primary concern should have been the immediate and safe recovery of the children, particularly given their special needs and the past concerns regarding their mother’s mental health history.
If the police did not respond promptly or treat this as a potential child endangerment or abduction case, they may have failed to act with the urgency required by the situation. Would you like to clarify if there was a delay in their response?
You said:
The only response was two conversations with police and one visitation with mother and kids, and threats of harassment charges against Timothy. No help even after evaded protection order was properly served. What kind of accountability did the police officials have?
ChatGPT said:
If the police failed to take appropriate action despite a properly served protection order and clear evidence of unauthorized removal of the children, they may be legally and ethically accountable for neglecting their duty.
Here are the main areas of accountability that could apply to the officers and department involved:
1. Failure to Enforce a Court Order - If the protection order against Sarea McCree was valid and properly served, the police had a legal obligation to enforce it.
Ignoring or not acting on a protective order could be a violation of their duty and could expose them to civil liability or departmental discipline.
2. Neglect of Duty / Misconduct - Law enforcement officers must take reports of missing or endangered children seriously, especially if there's a history of abandonment, psychiatric issues, or court orders in place.
Threatening harassment charges against Timothy instead of helping could be considered an abuse of authority. - If officers deliberately failed to act or intentionally mishandled the case, this could be misconduct under state and federal laws.
3. Civil Rights Violations (42 U.S.C. § 1983 Lawsuit) - Timothy Stone could potentially file a federal civil rights lawsuit if police refused to protect his children despite legal documentation and clear evidence of danger.
If the lack of action was due to bias, negligence, or deliberate indifference, the department could be sued for violating his and his children’s rights.
4. State and Federal Child Welfare Laws - Arizona child welfare laws require law enforcement to intervene when children are endangered.
Failure to act in a case of potential kidnapping, child endangerment, or custodial interference could be a violation of these laws.
If an officer ignored clear signs of danger, they could face disciplinary action or even legal consequences under state laws.
5. Internal Affairs and Police Oversight Complaints - Timothy could file a formal complaint with the El Mirage Police Department’s Internal Affairs or Arizona’s Police Oversight Board for misconduct or negligence.
The officers involved could face investigation, suspension, or termination depending on the findings.
