This story is just too sad for words. How stupid do you have to be to think you can get away with this.
If they were in love she could have waited the couple of months until her 17th birthday and she could legally be emancipated.
I’ll bet it was not over the boyfriend as much as it was probably taking way her cell phone. I thought my daughter was going to go into a coma when we turned off her texting indefinitely after we caught her texting while driving. I told her last night it has been two weeks an she is not dead and her social life continues.
“How stupid do you have to be to think you can get away with this.”
That’s what I was screaming at the screen. Did they think they weren’t going to be suspects? Did they think they were going to run away and live on the lamb forever?
I was on a Grand Jury once and we indicted a lot of stupid people.
In Texas you can petition for emancipation if you are at least 16 if you are living away from your parents, 17 if you still live with them.
She could of just run away. Must be more to the story.
I wish teenagers were capable of realizing just how much their hard-working parents love them, how much sacrifice it costs them to hold down responsible jobs and then to do the jobs at home in order to provide a comfortable shelter for their children.
My parents are gone, and I’m now old myself. I look back on them and realize now that they were the only people standing between me and an orphans’ home or worse. This early “dating” business is pure crapola. It generally leads to boredom and promiscuity and the parents having to raise grandchildren courtesy of some spoiled little boy who sweet talked their daughter. - I, frankly, wish my parents had flat disallowed me to date until I graduated from high school. I escaped the worst situations, but it’s a wonder. (I can’t imagine being cold enough to plot to have my parents killed.)
