I'm with you on lack of parental supervision.

What's inappropriate about telling people to be careful?

Be very careful what you wear when you leave your house. Scout out the area first & make sure there are others around to make it less likely you will be prayed upon. *sarcasm all mine*
More pressing - to me - is WTF are these boys doing out at 2am with no parental supervision and why did they think it was A-OK to carjack and murder a random stranger?
bbm
IMO, they simply didn't give a dayam whether it was okay or not.
They could have run, but they didn't. SMH.
I find it interesting, but not surprising, that the national media has been virtually silent on this story. Can you imagine if the races of the perps and victim were reversed though? 24/7 coverage.
My two cents...
That's not the moral I got out of that story.
Here's the video of the disgusting perps:

I would say never be out vacuuming your car at 2 am by yourself or unarmed (and trained).
The only time I hear about black victims in the national media is when they are killed by a cop, and considering there are hundreds of cases a year, only a small handful are getting significant coverage. Can someone point me to a case that got 24/7 coverage where a black woman was killed by white kids?
Well, now that it's been said, I am sadly going to agree. I was raised by a "door-locker" -- we were in a small town, but both my parents stressed keeping the doors locked and about being careful and watchful wherever you go. This was not stressed to the point of paranoia, or anything else. Just parenting. But here, today, we keep our house doors locked when we leave and every night, and I lock my car whenever I exit it -- even parked in our driveway. Habits.
I do not ever see me stopping at an outside car-wash, etc., by myself at night at any time for any reason. And please know that not for one minute am I thinking she was "asking for it" or inviting trouble. Absolutely, in this country -- and others -- anyone should have right to do what she did at any time without fear -- it appears clean & well-lit, etc. And this may have been the only time she had available to do it -- maybe it was a routine thing for her. Harming no one, minding her own biznezz, as we say. Maddening.
And these two were just messing around, prolly feeling a bit powerful just because they should have been home in bed after doing their homework. Wrong time, wrong place for all three of them. Such a shame for all of them as well as for all people who will be personally affected by this tragedy.
Here ends teeny rant...
I was brought up that way too and am an "extreme door locker". Some may think its too extreme but its just the way I was raised and taught. We used to live in a crime area so that is probably why my parents taught me to lock at all times. It is second nature now to me and it is not an inconvenience to me.
-I lock my car doors as soon as I get IN my car
-I lock my car doors every time I leave it for any reason
-I lock my house doors definitely when I leave for any reason
-When arriving I even lock my house doors as soon as I get settled and will not be going back out to the car. My family members get mad at me sometimes as they have to unlock the door when I am home so I do try to know when they are coming and unlock it before they arrive.
-I keep billfold in my front pants pocket to keep from being pick-pocketed. Saw Oliver too many times. LOL
I know I'm :deadhorse: but the pastor husband of Amanda Blackburn is going on national TV tomorrow and that made me think to compare the two stories. There has been much more coverage overall and her thread here (not to criticize - I've posted there too!) has almost 1,000 comments, compared to 35 here. Google Amanda and about 160k results come up, google Tanya and less than 10k results show up.
Amanda was pregnant and her murderer is still on the loose. Her husband was a pastor and had a following. Is that the difference? I don't know but I just don't get it.
I was raised on a farm where the front door wasn't locked but the gate to the pasture always was. Sometimes I'm forgetful about locking my front door (whether while out home or while going for a walk) but I always lock my car doors. I live in a safe city but have only been out by myself after midnight four or five times in the last six years.
I'm so sorry for Tanya. Truly sad and sorry.
These mandated public hearings will determine whether the 13-year-old and/or 14-year-old from Lee's Summit will be charged as adults or juveniles for their part in the death of Tanya Chamberlain.
For the elder of the two, the hearing will take place Thursday, April 7 at 9 a.m. The younger will have his the next morning, Friday, April 8 at 9 a.m.
Tanya Chamberlain was stabbed or cut 49 times, with wounds to her right and left jugular veins causing her death.
Robert Pietak, a deputy for the Jackson County medical examiner’s office, testified that Chamberlain suffered multiple stabbing or incised wounds to the face, neck, back, forearms and hands.
Pietak said an autopsy also revealed that Chamberlain had a large incision wound to her neck and was stabbed on each side of her body.
Schieber heard nearly five hours of testimony from a deputy juvenile officer, an employee from the Missouri Department of Youth Services, Pietak and a child psychologist who examined the suspect’s mental and emotional state on behalf of defense attorney Jarrett Johnson.
Testimony from Ahmad Belcher, a deputy juvenile officer for the Family Court of Jackson County, revealed that the teen suspects approached Chamberlain three times prior to what authorities called an unprovoked attack.
A 15-year-old Lee's Summit boy will face murder charges as an adult for the killing of 43-year-old Tanya Chamberlain last November.
Trevon Henry was only 14 at the time of this crime, but Judge Robert Schieber says a repeated history of stealing, lying and misbehaving while in the juvenile system shows that treatment and rehab there hasn't done him any good.
Jackson County prosecutors filed a first degree murder charge against a 14-year-old boy on Thursday, he's the second juvenile who will be tried as an adult in the November 1, 2015 killing of Tanya Chamberlain.
Joshua Trigg faces the murder charge in addition to armed criminal action and first degree robbery along with alleged accomplice Trevon Henry, who is now 15. Trigg and Henry are accused of repeatedly stabbing Chamberlain and killing her at a Lee's Summit car wash in the 900 block of Northeast Langsford Road.
