Uhm...the article states very clearly several times that the father did not wait three weeks to check in, *he had been trying to contact the mother* for several weeks with no success. Why was there no success? *She was in jail*
Read - emphasis added:
"The girl's plight was only discovered when her father,
after failing to make contact with his estranged wife for some time, went to the apartment."
and
" Briana's father, Ogden Lee, told the Florida Times-Union newspaper that he
had been trying to get in touch with the mother Dakeysha Telita Lee, 20, for a fortnight - unaware that she was in fact in custody."
and
"
When Mr Lee eventually traced the mother to the prison and was able to speak to her, Dakeysha Lee said that the child was in the care of neighbours.
Mr Lee went to the apartment block and after knocking on the doors of several neighbours was still unable to find Briana, so he got the building's manager to let him into the flat."
Sounds like a concerned father to me!
