When you process, process my entire post.

With my oldest daughter I would sneak outside and get their plate number. I still make the ones who are living home call if they aren't coming home or will be late. I think my youngest one is going to have her 4 older brothers and her daddy watching very closely who she dates.

The part I highlighted was enough. It blew everything else you said before and after out of the water.

Wow. He cared for her. Have a good evening.

Very smart. :-)I still make the ones who are living home call if they aren't coming home or will be late.

We did the same with our older ones too. That's a wise thing to do in this day and age no matter their ages.

You missed my point entirely.

My point is that the parents are highly suspect from the very beginning.

I never said that the perp shouldn't be prosecuted or that what he did is okay in any way. If he's found guilty I hope that he's given the heaviest sentence possible because what he did is sick and horrible.

I simply pointed out that he put himself at very high risk to report to the police which lends weight to his accusation, and that the parents should be investigated.

I hope your evening is nice, too.

I have started to talk with the 7 yr old about the choices she makes with her friends. I had her at 41 yrs old so theres 20 yrs between the 1st and last child. I am trying to get her to understand not to put her trust into friends easily. My husband thinks I am nuts. But after going through so much with the older ones I want this child to realize that its ok to be different and not to have to have what her friends have. So far she has been great. She doesn't ask to have the belly showing shirts or makeup, or streaks in her hair. I am just so disgusted with the way some parents are allowing their children to grow up so fast. Make up & hair streaking won't be allowed in my house for a long time. Children need the time to be children and I don't find the need to push her into being a mini adult. Her little friend just got a pair of $200 boots. I asked her if she wanted them and she said oh no they aren't even pretty. Hopefully she will stay a sweet child for awhile.

Nor mine. Their childhood speeds by so quickly.

I had my last in my 40's as well so I know what you mean. There's about 24 years difference between my oldest and youngest.

Bratz dolls are the worse scourge facing little girls now. Those are not allowed in our home.

Ewwww! How could a 12 year old claim to be "in love" or attracted to him? How could a grown man be attracted to a child that is young enough to be his daughter?

There is something seriously wrong with these parents. They couldn't tell this guy was MUCH too old to be dating their 12 year old? Obviously, he would have had to be at least 4 years older to take her on a "trip" with him. Besides, I don't care how old they thought he was, but how can they barely know this man and allow their 12 year old girl to get in the car for a weekend trip? That's pitiful. I wonder if the parents were possibly sexually abusing her because he risked his freedom in order to alert the police. Anyway, all three should be locked up.

I'd have one word for this guy: "KA-CHINK!!!" It's a distinctive sound, the shound of a shotgun being pumped, and a great warning to get the heck out of there.

NAMBLA crosses my mind!

as much time as they spend quarreling, they really
do take care of each other, don't they?

[leda]

Before handing it back, I'd always say, I know who you are and I know where you live.

i love that!

Has anyone realized this guy could actually be older then the parents?

[Pinkbell]

Blech, I never even thought of that, but that is definitely a possibility. That would make an already disgusting situation more disgusting.
