Whatever her mother was it was bad enough for 13 year old girl to go out, alone, on the street.
Mom might have said "no"! Having "successfully raised" four children, and currently working toward properly preparing my now 15 yr old daughter, I know a little about girls, and children. I studied psychology and counseling in school. I saw my own children to maturity, and monitored those whom they spent time with. They went to church on sunday night, rather than spending time at the mall, or some roller rink. They still honor their father and mother, though we are separated and divorced.
Yet, I continue to see children getting into the adult world before they should be. I don't condone the behavior of the purveyors. I think they got off too lightly. But, to just assume that all little 13 yr olds are incapable of degradation, I only tell you to watch your MTV! They are teaching them well!
