Per Fox News...
And there was that group of friends, women, I think, who went to some Caribbean island for vacation. They went hiking in the hills, and one lagged behind as the trail went around a bend because she was tying a loose shoe lace. When she finished and went around the corner, she found her two friends beheaded and robbed, the killers vanished. Lucky to be alive.
And at what age does this responsibility start, Oh Wise One?!!!
At birth?
We all have done things that could easily have turned out disastrous. I know how blessed I have been, and so often I have done things that I knew I should not have. I think that is why this has me so upset. "It could've been me" keeps going through my mind.
Her family needs to befriend a "charles bronson" type and let him go in and do whatever needs doing...they only understand if you do to them 10 times worse than they do to you.
that scares 'em to death......and if it doesn't, shoot 'em to death!!!!!!
Yep. Are we cousins? That sounds all to familiar to who I was raised and who I raised my kids.
This can be shortened.
Moral of story: Don't go alone with people you do not know.
Speaking to someone for two days doesn't mean you know them!

Her bio-dad is ex SpecOps. I think he could handle the Charles Bronson part. :-)
Don't take their lunch or homework to them at school if they forget. Make them clean up their messes. I once made my daughter get some money from her piggy bank to pay for the ham and cheese she left out on the table until it was so dried and curled up that I had to throw it out. She was about 9 years old, but it never ever happened again.
I was affectionately known as a mean Mom. But things in our house rarely got broken or lost, and my furniture stayed fairly decent throughout 28 years of raising kids. They always knew they would have to make something right if they caused a problem because of their negligence or inattention. They took chances and got into trouble, of course, but they knew neither Dad nor I would tolerate any notion of blaming someone else for what they had done.
Exactly. You can't teach common sense. It's something learned over time. Expecting a young boy or girl to "have" common sense is an exercise in futility.
If common sense could be taught don't you think it would have been on school's curricula for decades?
I was thinking something similar. On one hand I'd like for the media to let LE do their job and not tell us everything so that they don't risk jeopardizing the case. One the other hand though, without the media telling us thing, LE could have tried to cover up, divert or sweep evidence under the rug to shift the blame away from the people that last saw her alive.
So if you leave the country at age five you suddenly and miraculously then become responsible?
That doesn't answer my question.
"There's more compassion for the unborn than for the living on these boards."
That's on the money.
You know, she could have gotten into a car with the the wrong person in the United States, and she'd be just as dead.
The word "teach" and the phrase "common sense" do not belong in the same sentence.
Easily said and agreed with. However, why does it appear that the victim is being crucified here? The Aruba water is still muddy here and no one knows the circumstances but the self-rightous have damned the victim....oh but not without prayers for her and her family. GAG.
Same as with the runaway bride....hundreds of posts saying the groom did it....because he looked weird. No one knew the facts then either but hey....when did facts matter to them or the NYT?
bump
Blood in the back seat of the car would also be normal if she was gang-raped by all three.
Whew!!! I am glad someone else had the same reaction I did!
Sometimes I think I am way to cynical...but I don't think so in this case...where were the tears from these friends?
