[Alberta's Child]

However, in my home I AM the one who makes the determination of whether she has sullied her reputation and honor.

If, in the process of "sullying her reputation and honor," she made up a story about an abduction that turned out to be untrue, then she has probably committed a felony under the laws of almost any state. Once she is involved in a criminal case called People of [So-And-So] vs. Ms. Don'tMessWithTexas, you are no longer the only one who can mete out punishment against her.

New article from Deseret News on the plural marriage angle:

Elizabeth was his 'wife'

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Dear Village Gossip, Please inform me what crime the wicked hussy Elizabeth Smart committed if she ran away with the dashing Mr. Emmanuel? Even if she committed a crime, she is STILL a MINOR for crying out loud. MINORS are typically treated differently in our courts. The proceedings are not played out in public view.

If in the course of time, the record did reveal that she left with Prince Charming, so what? She's a messed up kid. Nothing newsworthy other than the fact that peeps like you gravitated to this story every night.

The simple fact is that you are a busybody that wants to spread rumor and innuendo without waitng for the facts to come out.

Adios.
