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.
I don’t know if they are or not. They’re certainly making difficult decisions that only parents can do in any situation their kids involve them in. If this was an accident but could be perceived as a murder because their relationship was toxic to begin with, I don’t know what I’d do as a parent. But I sure as heck would do what I could to protect my kid from being crucified by the press and public.
