You need to understand the attitude that most in the "Mormon" community have. They tend to be very trusting, and they want to "help others."

This guy wasn't "brought into their home," he was hired to do about five hours' worth of work around the house. I don't even know that it was "inside work."

And plenty of things like this have happened without any such "trust," such as the abduction of Polly Klaas.

Just because this guy was hired for a few hours' work doesn't mean he had some special powers or knowledge to enable him access. It was STILL an outside job.

I've noticed a lot of "blaming the victim" going on about this case. It has been so from the outset. I have my suspicions why this is so, but I'll just say that I think it is poor, poor behavior.

Don't take me the wrong way I am not implying that the blame should be placed anywhere other than this lowlife who kidnapped her. All I am try to point out is with our courts not really putting criminals away, one always has to be vigilant ad suspect about people they don't know. I am a trusting person myself but at 42 I have learned that we don't live in a perfect world. All I am saying is there is a lesson here as well.

Once again, you are correct.

The situation certainly made me more careful about hiring help. Another reason to do it yourself, or to keep a very close eye on things.
