I suspect that this girl was overly naive, and her family had harsh things to say about "fallen" women. The first thing that went through my head was that at some point, the girl thought she wouldn't be welcomed back, because after many sexual assaults,a naive 14 year old girl will feel worthless and devoid of hope.Granted, she was very sheltered. However, the perps who kidnapped her are to blame, not her family and certainly not the victim.

Oh, no question - it is the perps to blame. For the rest of us, though, its an opportunity to talk to our children so we don't make the same mistakes.
