Yep, that’s what I think too.
There’s a lot we don’t know.
No of course an adult man should not take off with an underage girl. But, she likely wanted to go with him, to escape a bad situation at home. And it’s likely he took advantage of her and encouraged her.
It’s screwed-up.
Each time I read a story about these events, I feel guilty, it’s like passing a bad car wreck.
Tad should get locked-up and everyone else should be left alone, they all have enough problems.
And that poor girl, she seems to have no good options.
And thus another “Lifetime” movie is born.
