re: 4-year-old girl missing since 2019 found alive, hidden under stairs in NY

I'm sure people will interpret this the wrong way, but it doesn't seem clear she was living under the stairs or being kept there. I say that based on how tiny that space is and the fact that her abductor, which sounds like a parent, was in there with her. The alternative obviously being that it was a hiding place to avoid being caught when people poked around the parent's house looking for a kidnapped child.
That possibility is bolstered by the line about her being in good health/condition. Anyway, even if it was short term it's obviously selfish and perhaps damaging, but I'm not sure this is one of those "kept a kid in a cage for years" things.

Damn hide the child for years and get out the same day?
Reading between the lines, one of the parents of the child took the child from the custodial parent. The police knew this and came over to find the kid, but the abducting parent would temporarily hide the kid under the stairs of his relatives house where he/she was living to avoid her being found by the police.
The two people released are likely the relatives.

Wow that is amazing. You hear about stories like this where the detectives completely miss something.
Off with the captors head. ASAP.

That is one serious game of Hide & Seek

This likely isn’t some heinous thing like it seems.
One parent has custody and won’t share with other parent
Other parent takes kid. She is living normally with other parent for 2 years. Parent gets a tip the cops are coming to find her and they hurriedly hide under the stairs and get quickly found. They were probably under the stairs less than an hour. Not living there.

Based on other posts, it looks like parents lost custody of their child to an aunt of the child. My guess is the child was removed from her parents home by social services and placed with aunt. Parents then abducted their own child of whom they did not have legal custody any longer. Still not a good situation but doesn't appear to be your standard kidnapping situation or "kid in a cage" that I assume most were imagining when first reading the article. That's likely also why the charges aren't as severe as the usually would be.

Cooper was charged with custodial interference in the second degree and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child
Pretty clear this was sloppily written. This is the first of two places they mention this Cooper lady. No first name in either, but it’s clear she’s the abductor.
I’m guess this Cooper and one of the Schultis men are this girl’s biological parents, which they were terrible at, and lost the child to the system or some other form of “custodial parents.”
I wonder if they were hidden in that room at all times, or only when the police arrived for a search.
Likely why the chargers aren’t more severe at this time.

Obviously I don't know the details but if some court took my child away for any reason, this would be me. I'm not a drug addict though so it would be a major abuse by someone if it did.

And you just know the article was written the way it was intentionally. I hate the media.
It is a shitty thing for the parents to have done without implying they locked the child in a cage for 2 years.

Correct. The article called them Non-custodial parents. If they had called them biological parents who lost custody, it would not have been sensational enough to match the headline of "Missing 4 year old girl found alive under stairs"
frick. All. Journalists.

Parents have to be pretty big frickups for both to completely lose custody. The state bends over backwards to try to rehabilitate parents who have issues. To permanently lose custody probably means drug use the parents refused to address.

I wouldn't put that on the news source. Non-custodial parent is a legal term and not incorrectly applied here. I will admit, people reading the article may not interpret that term correctly.

A case where cops should have shot him on the spot because he “resisted”

Sounds like the people that took her were her biological parents that abducted her from her (probably state mandated) legal guardian. No wonder she was in the custody of someone other than her parents. They are terrible people.

Yeah, you right. It is indeed correct. It is the click bait headline that makes we want to take my Broadcast Journalism degree and wipe my arse with it in shame at what that industry has become.

I typed and deleted 5 different responses because this infuriates me. I am not sure if there is such thing as a Heaven but I certainly hope there is a Hell for these people.
