Missing Danielle Parents Allegedly Swingers

Larry King Live ^ | Brenda & Damon Van Dam

Larry asked them about it just now on Larry King Live (2-11-2), and they refused to deny it.

"but it seems a little cruel that their sexual habits are becoming fair game for the whole damn world while they are also having to deal with a missing and possible dead child."

There is a reason why your mother always wanted you to wear clean underwear, in case you were in a car wreck.

Figuratively speaking, the van Dams were in a car wreck and they are discovering what it means to have dirty underwear...

Sorry, Eric, I confess I know next to nothing about your chosen "lifestyle," and for that I am thankful. I can't pretend to have anything but disgust for that lifestyle, and I honestly believe this "lifestyle" has caused a little girl to meet a horrible fate.

[kwyjibo]

It's a long shot but what if the little girl woke up and saw her mommy making out with some stranger and freaked out and fled this mess?

That makes a little more sense than the idea that the mom was somehow involved in the child's disappearance, "involved" meaning that she directly participated in removing the child from the house, etc. For some reason, this just doesn't strike me to be the same type of situation that Susan Smith and Darlie Routier found themselves in. There were several people present at the house the night of the "abduction".

Of course, this could help build a fairly solid alibi, like "I was having sex in the garage with a total stranger while my kid was taken." Oh, and your husband? "He was there too, doing a friend of mine." So, in theory, this would deflect suspicion from the "parents". But, sadly, I think I'm being too optimistic when I try to believe that Danielle ran away to escape that madness. Most likely BVD will turn out to have played a role in the disappearance.

I'm not "pure" and neither are most people, however, wife swapping is a little more than simply not being "pure".

[MizSterious]

Drugs did play a part in this tragedy. You can't deny that. This "lifestyle" has likely cost a little girl her life.

[MsLady]

Oh, I see, your a holier then thou pervert. Now I get it.

[Don Myers]

Travis, many kids are being kidnapped to sell on the black market. Many mommy and daddy did just that, or some stranger took her. Maybe, it is a sex case. Hopefully, they will find out. Wife-swappers are not healthy-minded people so who knows what happened.

...Westerfield has all but confessed, but is dealing for his life in exchange for Danielle's body. That's what's the common word all over San Diego.

Es verdad? Hmmmm...

[cactmh]

Very good points about "non-judgementalism" leading to bad things. Heck, look at the Sept 11th terrorists for proof of this. Four middle eastern guys buying one way tickets with cash just before take off...

[He Rides A White Horse]

Yes, I am generalizing, but, it is a statement i am fairly qualified to make. You see, I AM a swinger. My wife and I have been in the lifestyle for 10 years. Were you to meet us, you would never know what we do.

I wouldn't want to.

You would also never find any of us even showing the slightest indication of our lifestyle around kids.

Oh really? I'll take a wild guess and say one of these 'normal' people that Danielle's parents brought home took an 'abnormal' liking to their daughter.

Their lifestyle was not the reason for their irresponsibility. Swingers, in general, are very responsible people.

You are one sick pup, and I fervently hope you don't have children.

[Don Myers]

Well, what people do in their own privacy, even if it is swapping out a husband or wife, is a personal choice. It is sick, but what the heck? American society is sick. But in this case, a little girl was harmed. And that makes a difference.

[MsLady]

Yep, I guess so.

[kwyjibo]

Fascinating discussion. Are you not bothered at all by the thought of your wife having intercourse with another man?

[paul51]

The next thing will be the other kids being taken into protective custody.
