I, too, find it very strange that the Van Damms have not taken the opportunity to explicitly and vociferiously deny these accusations. Fact is, that even if you allow that the alleged behavior isn't criminal, it is certainly arguable that if it took place, the parent's conduct may have created a situation that put their children in the path of someone who meant them harm.
No one is suggesting that their grief isn't real, or that they in any way intended for this to happen, but can't you at least allow for the possibility that since they aren't denying the activity, they are in some way responsible? Aren't parents to be held accountable for their actions--particularly if these actions put others at risk?
I would not take a single second of a single day away from doing everything that I could possibly do to find my kid.
I certainly would not take the time to help some discjockey rake in listeners.
"No one is suggesting that their grief isn't real...", Oh, please! Read the threads! In those very words it has been said!
It's been discussed to a nauseating degree that Mrs. van Dam does not appear sufficiently upset.
What the hell is that? My wife would probably have to be on serious tranqs just to get through the day without killing herself.
Has it also crossed anyone's mind that they are most likely under strict instructions from the lead investigators, and anyone with half a brain, not to say too much about the circumstances surrounding the night in question?
There's a trial coming up you know. There are only a few people who know the full truth about that night. The van Dams, the police, and the killer.
Knowledge of details about that night could help identify the killer.
