It's looking more and more like the kid went completely willingly!

I could be wrong, but I don't think she went willingly. I do think there is something very strange with her family... who knows perhaps her father is physically abusive. Elizabeth might have been raised to be obedient to authority. And her security was severely damaged... she was kidnapped from her bed, in her own home, with her parents right there. Why would anyone think themselves safe?

Also, perhaps after being "damaged goods" she felt that she could not go back home again. Who knows what threats have been used against her and her family. Who knows if previous attempts at escape failed and things were worse for her after that.

I don't think we will ever know the whole story and I have to admit, her father's personality sure puts a weird light on things. But I do not believe she went willingly or that she even stayed willingly. IMHO

The mere hint that this could be a possibility was enough to get one's head flamed off yesterday by the ultra-emotional types around here. Today, it's not so strange. Tomorrow, it could very well be mainstream.

I agree totally! I believe if we really investigate the family situations, this girl ran away from home! This wasn't a kidnapping! The screen cut from the inside, no struggle, the silent sister....come on!!!
