I think it’s very common for people to Judge quickly whoever the press has decided to create a story around......often wrong Judgement.
The parents are doing what’s best by not entertaining the press.
You think they are doing their best? If your son’s girlfriend was missing, and he was the last to see her and her parents are literally begging to talk to him about where she is you would hide behind lawyers? I don’t get it. Maybe I am in the minority. You do the right thing no matter what the consequences are.
