If they captured the president and did this to him, Americans would take them seriously!
Peru has created a reasonable facsimile of hell in their prison system. I hope van der Sloot enjoys a good long stay there.
I saw an interveiw with two of them right after she was missing. They were only there to make sure that there were no passport problems. That was it. They weren't babysitters. These kids were adults.
No they are no urban legend. They are distributed around the world in the same wasy that child porn is. It’s very underground,done peer to peer and s very real.

....and in the original Thailand thread, I was the second person. Damnest thing I ever saw on FR.
These kids were NOT adults. They were 18 at best. The parents of all of them were foolish to allow their children to run off to a foreign country with a couple of adults whose only responsibility was to check passports. I wonder if all the parents understood that?
Certainly when my daughters were traipsing around Europe without me in a summer school, they were with their grandmother, or they were with the parent of their roommate. And they were older — at least 21. And they were safe.
And 18 is legal age in this country and legal drinking age in Aruba. The chaperons said that the parents knew all of this when they let their kids fly down there for the vacation. I get what you are saying. I not only agree, but have raised my two kids that same way and now that they are grown, appreciate it.
My thoughts exactly when this all came out!
