I'm leaning towards the same scenario.
Re: her online (twitter) activity I have to say I found it very disturbing..I know many have said this is the way most kids are today but seriously if that was my daughter saying all that CRAP I'd be appalled..And I'm no prude, far from it! I was a wild child teen (70s) myself but this just goes way beyond what we were like..I get times change but I can't compute "nice girl" with anything I saw from her or her friends :what:
I also think most of it is pointless..Unless I'm missing the point of tweeting VULGAR one-liners..If the point is to be 'kewl' that goes right over my head & I'd much rather my kid was a 'dork', 'geek', 'loser', whatever they call it today..I also have a hard time believing this goes on all over..I'm convinced it's more common in certain areas then in others..At least I hope like heck that's true.
I agree with you. And I'll up the ante.
On the Today Show, they were talking about how there are around 2,000 people who are reported missing every day.
So there were on average 1,999 other people they could have chosen to profile. That Klaaskids could have helped in their case.
And this case would languish in the backwaters with only the parents and and a overworked police force investigating, at least.
I always wonder about which cases get national media attention and which ones don't.
It seems to me this one was based on the "looks" of the victim.
Being an all American teenaged cheerleader, which may or may not be true.
Yet, it turns those ideas on their head when you read her "tweets".
And then to top it off, you are forced to look the other way when
an RSOs daughter is missing.
You have to accept him as "a victim".
Because this didn't happen to someone else's daughter, this time.
There are a lot of things about this case that are there to make you uncomfortable. To make your world view turn upside down.
To have her items missing both sound like product placement ads.
To wit: The beloved Samsung Galaxy Android Phone and the equally
beloved, Juicy Couture Bags.
I don't know what this says about where we are as a society.
But, it does make me wonder about the 1,199 kids and adults
that I will never hear about, while this case is a media darling.
I hope she is found safe.
I hope they all are, whoever, wherever, they are.
