Sky Metalwala, 2, missing. Washington state

American laws are a mystery to me...as are the amount of children that go missing.
However, I imagine the Mother commited a crime by abandoning her child therefore must hold some responsibility in the following disappearance.
If I had my way, she would be arrested for abandonment and left in jail until the child was found.
If, as has been suggested, the child has been missing for 2 weeks prior to the reported incident, surely there must be evidence in the house that points to this...lack of used diapers...state of bed...used clothes...something?

Yea, I would have handcuffed her ass at the scene! She is admitting abandonment the second she called the police. Granted it sounds like this little boy has been gone for awhile.
