Actually, when it comes to human nature, especially in teens, I've become quite the cynic. I think that makes me worse than you imply, but not as nasty as the poster you were responding to wants to believe.
I was only a decent student and average achiever and the urge to just chuck it and run off rose up occasionally.
Shalom.
I watched a short interview with Natalee's stepfather on Fox & Friends this morning. He stated that local law enforcement has not informed the family that these two men in custody have been charged with homicide. He has heard it only through media reports.
As the mother of a nineteen year old daughter, I can't give up hope that Natalee is still alive. It is possible that Aruban officials are holding these men as suspects so the public will consider the case solved. The last thing they want is to decrease or stop revenues from their number one resource - tourism.
