Larry asked them about it just now on Larry King Live (2-11-2), and they refused to deny it.
The operative word in that sentence is MAY it is a shame that many here, and apparently yourself, have turned that "MAY" into DID.... When there is nothing of factual basis to even support the parents even are swingers in the first place, much less that if they are that it contributed to their child's disappearance. Those of us who understand the meaning of the word MAY and MIGHT do not jump to conclusions by assuming they mean "DID".
If these parents DID place their children at risk, I will condemn them for it. But I am not going to do so based on some talk show host and internet prattle.
While you are 100% correct, you will never convince most on this board.
Whatever happened to this child, it has nothing to do with swinging, and a lot to do with irresponsibility.
Yes, I do.........and there is nothing 'liberal' about what is called a liberal today. They are totalitarians.
.........and swinging is not irresponsible, especially when kids are involved? Really?
Please note the post below. It is a cut and paste of YOUR post #571. I really don't expect much out of you,but you could at least try to keep up with your own posts.
The guy from Sears does not knock on my door unannounced. There is an appointment made. My husband, or some other family member, is here when he arrives. It is fairly well-known that appliance repairmen are frequently ex-felons. I do not allow them in my home unless someone is with me. I won't discuss other self-protection measures we take, but trust me, we take them.

Let's start here, you don't know jacksh*t about me. I do know something about you however, you are a pompous ass, and huge bore.
"He Rides A White Horse" indeed, a little full of yourself maybe? I have read the Bible, in more than one language as a matter of fact, and find myself at odds with judgemental pr*cks like yourself, who believe that they are better than the rest.
Here's a newsflash for you HRAWH, in THIS country people are not subject to the kind of witch hunt that you are carrying on. The fact of the matter is, that you do not have a a single shred of evidence that anything at all happened that night, you are making it all up. Busy spreading vile rumors.
You know what? You are a bigger sinner than this couple. Your sin is arrogance.
I never doubted it.
I am going to let that one slide, that's way below you, dangerously aproaching the status of others on this thread.
I could not help but noticing however, that you did not reply to the fact that what you told me was information you picked up from posted news articles, where in fact rumours, and you have been in fact spreading unsubstantiated garbage.
Really? Because I don't agree with you? Hmmmm......
"He Rides A White Horse" indeed, a little full of yourself maybe? I have read the Bible, in more than one language as a matter of fact
Is that so? Then why would you make a stupid comment that implies that I think I am the "rider on the white horse".......it's from Revelation......the Rider on the White Horse is Jesus Christ, not me.

I'm not making anything up. Go read my last post to you, and then tell me what I made up.

Wishing it was doesn't make it so.......go read the posts again.......in a language that enables you to actually understand what you've seen.
Mr. Spock you are not.
......oh, and what is that, Luis? That a door ajar at 2AM is no cause for consternation. That Dad has some dopey, Johnny Cochranesque prepared statement? That swinging is a responsible thing from a Christian standpoint? Tell me Pharisee of many languages (they were oh so 'educated' also), what is it you are objecting to? Hmmmm..........?
Under a Biblical definition, it's called adultery. Which is a sin in God's eyes.
......or has that changed, Luis?
Uh, HELLO out there, anybody home?
Is swinging considered irresponsible by Catholic teaching, Rome 2000? Anyone?.........and if so, what are some of the possible repercussions?
19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great.
19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Here it is in English........why I chose my screenname.
People go around promoting this hippy flower child version of Jesus............"hey man, you want to continue living in your sins, and teaching evil things, well, it's all groooovy, 'cuz Jesus loves you man, and anything you do is "okay with Big J", dig?"
No friend, he came the first time to tell us what He expected from us; to instruct us in the Way of the Word.........next time it won't be so pleasant.
So go ahead and continue with your moral relativity. Teach others the same nonsense.
Apparently, your child might disappear.
Thanks for the warning.
.......or maybe you simply weren't listening.
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 19:13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 19:14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 19:16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
This is one of my most favorite Bible passages. The picture so often presented of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the gentle Savior...and so He is for those who receive the salvation He offers..
However, after His triumph, and ascent to Heaven, his disciples did not call Him Jesus...but Lord Jesus. How often it is forgotten that the last picture we have of the Lord Jesus Christ is in Revelation 19. I never forgot...He is my Savior...but to His enemies, His robe is dipped in blood.
He is NOT the coming King...but the King who will come again.
