CNN.com - Lawyer says Aruba men accused of homicide - June 8, 2005
OK - again with the 'unpopular' point of view....
Can someone please explain to me how it is that this young woman (only 18 years old) was bar-hopping - without an adult present, went off ALONE with strange men????
I mean even here in the states, this would be a dangerous thing for a young woman to do....ANY young woman.
I just don't get it - there is no way in hell my kid (especially my 18-year-old daughter) would be in a place like Aruba and allowed to be off in bars by herself - because if *I* found out about the chaperones not chaperoning properly - all friggin' hell would break loose....
I am sorry but it just seems that this young 'God-fearing' woman was acting a bit of a slut (like I said this is going to be a really unpopular POV) - seriously though - 18 or not - she is still a kid - and she had no business in bars with or leaving from bars with strange men.
While I pray for her safe return - I highly doubt her mother is going to really leave that island with her daughter (at least alive).....I pray that's not the case. What anguish that mother must be going through.
********
On my own being a mommie side-note...
Today my son is going with his buddies down to Columbus for a Modest Mouse concert - teens are driving - no adults - and you had better believe I am nervous.
Kudos to him for checking out Modest Mouse - but I will be up late until they all arrive home safely....being a mom sucks sometimes....

Amen - she ought not to have been barhopping or leaving with strange men. No 18 year old guy or girl should be in any form of bar.
Candie,
I WAS NOT judging the mom at all - but all reports indicate this girl WAS in a bar and left with strange men ALONE - and right or wrong of her - she probably made a fatal decision.
I am not rejoicing in her being missing - it's tragic - but it was also stupid on her part and at 18 she should have known better - don't you talk to YOUR kids about this stuff? I certainly do - regardless, those adult had better come up with a good reason why this happened.
