Cop’s Regret

Officer Boyd regretted not asking for the kid’s SSN before, he said, “I just wish we had done it years ago when he was a small child, but it sounds like he was raised and life was all right for him. Any time these things end and you find out they’re alive and well, I think it’s a great thing. … But a lot of years were lost for the family here that wanted to be a part of his life and couldn’t be.”
