I am NOT justifying it or making light of it. But it isn’t the 1930s any more. Likely this 14 year old girl is more experienced than most freepers. You can hang the perp. But she’ll likely be out screwing some other guy within the week.
“The girl, who has learning disabilities, ran away from home”
She’s not just a juvenile. She’s an at risk juvenile. She needs protection.
She is 14 years old and has learning disabilities for God’s sake. Sticking up for this Marine is repulsive. He has done wrong. A good man would have had that girl sent home. She is a kid.
