Closed on paper and closed in practice are two very different things, as shown by the laws allegedly protecting native children vs. the high rate of abduction into the foster system.

That's logical.

Good idea.
Consider asking their supervillain friends, many of whom excel at self-defense. Another option would be a more permanent tracker, which Kraken has. After the way Genna blew a gasket over the previous incident, it might be kind of embarrassing to request, but that's a great way to foil kidnapping attempts. Hence why Pips has one; he wants to make sure that backup can always find him.

Yyyyyeah. O_O
>>I wonder if they're JUST as high off the reservation, as when Genna is at the county museum?<<
It's probably highest on the reservation, where tangles of jurisdiction make it easier to get away with crimes. Still high risk elsewhere, though, because of both the tribal and soup aspects.
