ok the thing goes liek this....the kids that go to ISA(int'l School of Aruba) are all together because their school hours are completely fdifferent form other schools, so usually they all hang otu 2gether, or each have their different group of freinds (being their in a private school), so JOrans freinds are basically his classmates or a few poeple from out-of-school, most people here never knew who the hell he was when the news broke out....they thought he was a dutch tourist...again remember yes his dad is high ranking but hasnt been on the island fo rover 5 years fo rhis studies, so you tend to 4get who he is.

I don't know about anyone else but I am getting real tired of everyone on the news saying how "safe" Aruba is. Daily someone comments on how beautiful, safe, etc. this place is. Who cares? Heck, this is NOT THE ISSUE - We are not concerned about Aruba's reputation. Nor does our media have to show some evedince that we want to protect their tourist trade and not harm it!

I didn't hear anyone try to be sure tourism in Florida did not suffer when the kidnappings occured there. Who on the news kept repeating that Florida was safe? It was obvious the most important thing was finding the kidnapped victims - not Florida's economy based on the tourists.
