Thank you, that is my point. And contrast that with the folks here who'll tell you the van Dams' alleged "swinging" lifestyle has absolutely NO bearing on what happened to their daughter.

[Travis McGee]

It's all rumors at this point.

But most of the early rumors have all been born out.

:-p LOL My children were taught how to dress themselves before they learned to tie their shoes. If they happen to put on clothes that didn't match, I corrected that.. Regardless, go into any teen jewelry store..and you will find hundreds of those kinds of very popular necklaces, and matching rings and armbands. So there.

[Travis McGee]

They have all been very quiet have they not?

Check out 513.

[Mrs.Liberty]

What else? By the time I got the radio plugged in in, they were done...Maybe I will go monitor RICK ROBERTS.

[Travis McGee]

Sorry Illbay, my last was for golitely.

Agreed. And the fact is that she may have known the man. She may have seen him in her parents' company before. She was a CHILD, and children that age are very trusting.

That's all true,but let's not forget that he was also a neighbor who only lived a couple of houses away. Chances are she has seen him in the daytime while doing little girl things like skating or riding her bike. She wouldn't be as scared of him as she would be of a total stranger,even if she woke up to find him in her bedroom.

Thank you for that ray of cheer.

[Illbay]

The plot, as they say, thickens.

[Travis McGee]

I am just noting the many strange coincidences piling on coincidences in this case.

Regardless, go into any teen jewelry store..and you will find hundreds of those kinds of very popular necklaces, and matching rings and armbands.

Go into any urban area in the United States and you will find hundreds of teen girls who ran away from home, now live on the streets, and offer $10 blow jobs to finance their drug addictions.

I don't suppose it occurs to any of you that if you dress your daughter like a whore, she might just grow up to be a whore.

I've been waiting for Westerfield to talk. I bet he has quite a tale to tell.

[afraidfortherepublic]

...telling people that their apparent kinky sexual lifestyle has no bearing on anything, hiring a P.R. firm, etc.

What is apparently kinky about the Ramsey's lifestyle? Or do you consider entering your child in a beauty pageant 'kinky'? While it's not what I would do with my children -- I don't think it's kinky -- just a little exploitive. Was there something else?

[Freedom2specul8]

Are you saying that ''chokers'', necklaces, rings etc are sluttish? Are you saying that they entice people into committing pedophilism?

[Illbay]

I would invite YOU to revisit what you wrote:

I assume my children interact with child molesters everday but I have no idea who they are. They can be their scout leaders, their pastor, the babysitter, teacher, relative....

...just as well as they could be the owner of the gay bar down the street.

That is what I hear you saying. That's the "junk social science" that I submit you have swallowed from the media's campaign for moral-equivalence of everything.

[Freedom2specul8]

BTW, I don't see how this "Go into any urban area in the United States and you will find hundreds of teen girls who ran away from home, now live on the streets, and offer $10 blow jobs to finance their drug addictions. " has anything to do with jewelry.

[afraidfortherepublic]

However, since I dont want to repeat unfounded acusations that have not yet appeared in print, I leave it to y'all to listen to the charges yourselves.

Those who are not in San diego can't do that. Can't you give us a clue -- tagging them as unfounded rumors?

[Freedom2specul8]

You do agree that pedophiles can be any race, religion, profession and gender?

[sneakypete]

It will be interesting hearing what his two grown children say--as well as his two ex-wives.

It might be,or it might be that he had a totally seperate secret life. One thing you can usually count on though is ex-wives dishing the dirt!
