How old do youths have to be to be prosecuted as an accessory after the fact?
Chilling what this generation of creeps is able to do without any conscience.
Hershey, read on. She didn't have to leave with him at all--she ran after his car when he started to leave without her.
At 14 you think that your 3 month school vacation is a long time. I have shirts older than this stupid child."
Shirts??? I raise you a whole closet full of things that are as much as 30 years old +. Lots of very old racing t-shirts.
One is OK, but 2 is too much?
I don't get your reasoning.
The one thing that's really apparent is that she left her parents to die without lifting a finger to help them. If those braces on her teeth aren't completely paid for, her remaining family members might not feel like footing the bill.
Judge Napolitano said on tv tonight she'll be out in two years, regardless of her involvement. (because of her age)
Dr. Jonathan (that's me) says that she suffered from severe mental shock, and both realizing and repressing the guilt from being a cause of her parent's death, she attempted to run away from reality, attempt to alleviate that guilt, go back in time, and escape from the bodies and horror she left behind. (Correspondence school)
Sadly, this is what I expected.
I knew you were making a joke. ;9)
The worst thing I can remember doing at 14 is signing my mothers name to a low scoring test paper.
This story is beyond tragic and it has just gotten worse.
She needs to do jail time.
I agree. I did stupid things at fourteen, but running off with a murderer wasn't one of them.
Pretty impressive theory, but what about the plain old "bad seed" theory? This is one scary girl who practically stepped over her dying father on the way out the door.
Another ping
"But on the surface, the Borden family seems like a closely-knit loving family. I wonder if that's true. Is there more to the story than simply that Kara and Ludwig are evil? "
The sad thing is that no matter how a good a family some kids are raised in....some of them turn out like this.
The lesson learned here? Nip it in the bud as soon as the creepy older boyfriend shows interest.
Take away computer access. Take away phone priveleges.
Set up motion detector lights outside her bedroom.
Sign the kid up for activities - any activity - that doesn't involve him.
But even then...you always have to be one step ahead of the kids - and kids can be such sneaky buzzards!
Thanks. It's getting hard to keep up.
""Ludwig told detectives that after the killings, he couldn't find Kara Borden. He started to drive away and saw her running down the road toward him.
She got in the car and said she wanted to "get as far away as possible, get married, and start a new life," Ludwig told detectives." "
I'm sure - once Kara's family learn of this part of the story...they'll be real glad she was present for her parents' funeral - and that she will actually inherit money from them.
If life were fair - her share of the estate would go to her siblings.
