I feel nothing but sympathy for what happened to that poor little girl. However, her parents are sleazy creeps who cared more for their perverted pleasures than for the safety of their children. I do hold them somewhat responsible for what occured. If they hadn't holed themselves up in the garage to smoke dope and have an orgy, Danielle might be here today. I know that there are folks here on FR who think that the Van Dam's "private life" had nothing to do with the daughters abduction/murder. Phooey. Not only are the parents LIARS, but they are shameless fools as well...

I concur 100% with you. The VD's are sleazy parents, to say the least, not to mention spoiled rotten (Oh, I HAVE to go to the bar with my girlfriends once a week, Oh, I HAVE to smoke pot in the garage), etc....

We agree

I agree that the lifestyle of the parents can't help but be factored into the equation of how this child died. Just as it would if they sold Amway out of their garage and had people parading through the house, then locked the doors out there to have sales meetings or product parties. Just because their activities are sleazy, it's like we're supposed to tiptoe around and not talk about how distracted they probably were. I feel bad that any parents lose a precious child, but let them bear the scrutiny that comes from such an event; the family circumstances will be examined, period. If people don't approve of their lifestyle, they knew that was an issue before they chose to live in that manner.
