You can't make this stuff up!

[rhombus]

They should have know'd I was such an idiot.

[Havok]

Any Judge who even contemplates this case is a moron.

[kinoxi]

It also alleges school officials knew or should have known

?

[half-cajun]

At first I thought this must be a joke. The lawyer who brought this should be fined.

[RexBeach]

So, she got hosed?

Could not resist. :)

[stm]

Ok, lemme get this straight. She runs away (a voluntary act) and she wants to sue the city for not looking hard enough for her??

[Fiddlstix]

Ping

[liberty_lvr]

Score!

Gawd, I love the legal lottery...now why didn't I think of this?

[GreenAccord]

Ummm, about her last name... I'm saying it in my head right now and I'm thinking maybe she ran away from home after being called names all her life. Just a guess, but does it sound like 'rock'?

[TexKat]

LMAO!

[isom35]

"She's unable to function in the community," except well enough to talk to a lawyer...

[Centurion2000]

A woman who ran away as a teenager and lived for a decade with a school security guard sued the city and school district Thursday, claiming that they failed to fully investigate her disappearance

The police are recordkeepers for the insurance industry and unofficial tax collectors for the municipality, they are almost never saviors ... get over it.

[sportutegrl]

Why are all of you posters being so mean to this woman. She was abducted at 14 by a much older adult male security guard and then kept a sex slave prisoner. At 14 you can't give consent. I do believe she was a victim. Her life is ruined. She wasn't a whore at 14, what she is now is what this guy made her. This is eerily similar to the one in Australia where a girl was abducted and kept prisoner. So the article says she ran away, that is what cops put down in New Jersey on a missing teen, they never assume it is an abduction.

[joylyn]

These stories make me glad I left McKeesport behind.

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Ok, yinz are gonna hafta read this once, cuz I'm not typin it again, n'at...

Tanya ran away when she was like 14. And she lived with a (I kid you not) a hairdresser who was a friend of this Hose guy. Hose, lived at home, in a two-story house with his elderly parents, and he made like a $1.95 a week being a security guard for the McKeesport School District (where he used to talk to Tanya on the eleven or so days a school year she attended class). Hose, even with his budgetary constraints and thru his friendship with said hairdresser managed to afford black hair dye to perpetuate his Elvis fixation. Tanya, in what must be a ying/yang went ultra blond (to Hose's Viva Las Vegas black). No reports of whether the 'hairdresser' (with the house) bleached her as well. At some point Tanya moved into Hose's parents house unbeknownst to the Hoses' senior.

Anywho...after years of quasi-captivity with Hose and his oblivious, elderly parents in a house the size of freight elevator, Tanya wonders into a convenience store (but NOT the now famous McKeesport Get Go where the Whizonator was microwaved...ya know to warm the urine specimen n'at) to tell the clerk that she (Tanya) has been missing for like ten years. Follow that?

Anyway...all is well now in McKeesport...Tanya is home, blonde and suing; Hose is in custody (don't know if he has roots); and the Get Go got a new microwave as settlement in Whizonator case.

Only in the Mon Valley kids...only in the Mon Valley.
