I share all this to point out that there are many good kids out there. The description of Natalee's accomplishments sounds like many of my children's friends. I find it hard to believe that a young lady would find it entertaining to go off and have sex with three strangers. The consequences are so great, the danger so real.
The teenagers I've been blessed to know are some of the most well behaved, responsible young adults imaginable. I can't fathom the pain Natalee's parents are experiencing right now. Prayers.
First, parents are moderately wealthy, they are both fine people. Now her Mother is aware of what is going on. They have not told her Father who is away on business a good deal of the time.
Her Mother is hearbroken over her daughter's sexual trysts. She will not do what it takes to stop it tho because she would rather her daughter be popular than do what it takes to end her affairs.
She would rather her go to the prom (she was queen btw) and stay up late than demand she be home right after it is over. Same for other occasions.
The sad thing is it is easy for an outsider to see what is happening but not really anything you can do.
