I gotta stick up for her Mom because if anyone's been following this case they know that her mother had no clue that she even knew this guy and wasn't all that thrilled about her going to this particular school.

Where I agree with you is about her Dad. Her parent's are divorced and when Taylor first went to visit the school back in February, he dropped her off at a 21 year old friends apartment. That's how she met Ben. He was a roommate of the friend. Now, granted this guy doesn't look 38, (I think he looks 28, 29) but surely he's no college student. Her father met Ben and he has said that he had no qualms letting Taylor stay there. Why not? I would. I wouldn't let my 17 year old daughter stay with 2 adult men for the weekend - what was he thinking?

I think your comment could be best summed up as:

I gotta stick up for her Mom because ~~if anyone's been following this case they know that~~ her mother had no clue.

I agree with your [amended] assessment. But I point out it was her mothers JOB to know that her 17yr old daughter was in bed with ths 38 year old well before she went to college.
