uh, I have to ask.
Why do people bother asking questions like this?
It’s almost like they’re suggesting something untoward about the victim, but I’m never certain exactly what it is.
BTW—I am not questioning that this girl was a victim or implying that her abduction was in any way her fault. The whole thing is a horrible tragedy. But—because she is a victim—one assumes she wants to take advantage of every opportunity to get away. Clearly she did not do that, even when it would have been simple.
