Oh, you not alone Tami, there are millions of folks just like you.
And I can't stress enough about this current news conference going on now. The animal control officer is on now!
One of the girls was 16 by one day. When my daughter was that age, she was NOT allowed to be out with a guy more than 2 years older than she; nor to be out that late.
In the case of this particular girl, from what I read she was staying with an aunt, so it is rather moot as to whether her parents were too lax or not. Maybe the aunt thought she was doing the kid a favor letting her stay out later to celebrate her birthday.
I'm just glad the girls are safe, and IF either or both were sneaking out, I hope they learned a BIG lesson.
