Some parents have lost COMPLETELY FAITH in the public school system so they remove their kids and put them in private schools or homeschool them. That is the kind of faith I was referring to.

Well, there is one point on which I agree. But we are talking apples and oranges about faith and the van Dams. They either had total faith in their alarm system, safe neighborhood, non-barking dog, Barbara or they just never gave it a thought. I think that the consumption of booze, drugs, sex, etc. so completely perverted their lives that they just didn't think enough about their children. And, if they had been thinking of their children at all they would not have had shady characters in their house at all hours of the night and living such a shallow and seedy lifestyle.

I *think* I agree with ya! I was trying to say earlier, that if DW is the guy, or even if it's someone else, they found the weakness of hte parents and exploited it. Like I originally said, it doesn't matter if they were whores or Christian Ministers, the pedophile did not care. (if indeed she was a victim of a pedophile..) Which in a way overrides whatever their lifestyle is. That may not make sense. Now, if one does look at the lifestyle, that's a whole nother issue that can be criticized. It's just 2 issues.. One issue is the pedophile, his predatory behaviour and the second issue just happens to be the lifestyle of the parents. If the parents were Christian Ministers who spent say too much time away from home....would they have been critized? Just a thought..not a flame!
