And he was not her teacher, nor her soccer coach, so not really an authority figure. Also, she seems to have a loving, intact family and a steady boyfriend. She was six months shy of high school graduation and seven months away from her 18th birthday. You have to ask yourself, what was she running away from? Was someone bullying her in school?
Its a good point and I had not thought about if maybe something was happening either at the home or at school where he maybe trying to protect her but still there are other rational and legal ways to deal with those things.
He could have helped her work with Child Protective Services if she felt abused at home. If she was being bullied then the parents and school should have been notified and there would have been ways to deal with that. A parent can even have her change schools if it was really bad.
So I have a feeling this is what it is looking like right now. Which means he is going to get in some big trouble when they are caught.
I just hope they dont do anything illegal to get more money. I would hate to see her ruin her life over this guy just because she thinks she loves him or something. She was so close to turning 18. My Gram always told me if someone really loves you then they will wait however long its needed. Their time to wait would have been rather short and do things legally if this is a romantic thing.
