Her parents should have given her “The Talk, Non Black Version” and she would have been forewarned.

White or black... unfortunately, we have come to a part in our society where we have to be careful no matter what. For example, Ted Bundy was white. From all reports, he was clean cut and good looking. He used fake leg casts in order to get assistance from young women to help him with boxes/books/etc.. My kids are much more “street smart” than in some areas. They have to be. Sounds to me like this girl was from a small town and people help others. (Not from a small town so that is just as assumption on my part). I feel sorry for her in a way... the world that she thought existed (or was told existed) doesn’t. That being said, this trauma will keep her more wary in the future. IMHO.
