Kyle and Kelley Moore said they allowed their 14-year-old daughter, Melissa, to go to raves as long she came home by her 3 a.m. curfew. Saturday morning, the ninth-grader never made it back.
I found this rather shocking. Not to say that the girl in any way "deserved" this, or that this was the reason she was killed. But to give your 14 year old a 3 AM curfew is madness.
Not if the parents were at their own rave party.
Which is highly probable.
Telling a 14 year old girl that she is free to attend parties where people do drugs and that she can stay out until 3 A.M. is tantamount telling her: "You have zero value to me and I don't much care if you live or die."
They should be prosecuted for neglect.
The girl didn't deserve this tragedy, but the parents surely enabled it.
