The kids father is a rich lawyer. With 100s of wildlife & law enforcement officials involved in the search it must have cost 10s of thousands of dollars.

I think the burden of said expenses should lie on the parents. If anything they should be charged with what Indiana refers to as "Neglect of a De pendant". ***A Class D Felony***
If the parents make a living that is higher than the mass majority in the county they live in...then their monetary burden should be higher than typical working class people like ourselves.
Mind you my comment is insensitive, but true since the wealthy are granted more rights than the poor. (This is a general standard and a valid one at that)
The parents are wrong...and should bear the burden. In my own town if I call the Fire Department I will receive a bill for $500.00 regardless of how I feel about it. The kid left the group on his own. If this was a poor minority in the city I seriously doubt a big rescue search would be made.
How sad...
and a note to the "rescuer"...I don't beleive that garbage about how priorities are the same for everyone. I could site a number of different cases where "class" played a role in someone's life saving events versus a regular working class citizen.
We all read the papers and know its a reality! Mind you a SICK reality. Stupid rich people that don't raise their kids right should get a piece of the bill that the "REAL" taxes payers deal with. Watch the lost little boy get older and get a DUI and his rich mommy and daddy find a technicality to get him out of it by politicals means.
Harsh reality!

Of course!!!
It is the responsibility of such civic officers to help ALL people in dangerous situations. Rich or poor, citizen or not, white or black.
That is like saying that if someone is rich, they should have to pay for their own firemen just in case their house catches on fire.
Absolutely ridiculous question.

Being a Search & Rescuer myself, we don't care if you have money or if your the poorest person alive, many rescurers do it free. If your butt was lost and someone put a price tag on you I bet you would be a singing a different tune.

I understand what ur saying but as taxpayers law and rescue are there to help everyone. And how ironic that a volunteer found him.

They found him, great. Now make his parents pay. How stupid can a boy scout be ? They are supposed to know North from South and so on.
Warm his bottom.

No, I think the parents should take responsibility for it. The child left the group on his own.
