Well, I guess if the point is that other people can have lasting relationships when they marry early, or that they can be good parents when they have children at a young age, I will say that is absolutely true and I laud every one of them that has done so. It wasn't that long ago in our human history when being Misty's age was considered nearly spinsterish to not be married. I was not speaking about any one of those people. I was speaking about this particular situation and the people involved in it.
On Misty's watch, she let a known SO into the house where two small children lived (not to mention that she herself was a victim in her past), she is now the wife of a man who she has lived with anywhere from September (some reports) or November (other reports) and who according to her mother has been asking to marry him for over 5 months---fresh at the beginning of the relationship (or at least the admitted beginning), but that relationship was a major source of conversation even here on this board about the fact that according to FL statutes, it could fall into the realm of statutory rape (given proof of a sexual relationship). So there is no leaving it aside for the moment. In this case, it seems quite pertinent. These two people make poor choices with regard to the children in their care. When someone mentioned other families with missing children, in the cases stated, I pointed out (because someone else made a comparison) that not one of them had made any of the MANY poor choices that the characters in this case have.
It is not bashing to state that these two made very very poor choices and a little girl is missing. I am not "choosing sides." I am commenting on THIS side of things.
