I've been thinking about this case a LOT.
What would provoke a woman to drive 10 hrs across the country, pick up a girl she doesn't know and bring her back to her home and harbour her there? Would I do that? Maybe if I thought I was doing a good thing rather than a bad thing. But I would really have to be convinced that I was helping someone get out of a bad situation.
We actually have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. We don't know what Katarina's home life is really like. Who knows what Katarina was telling the guy she was communicating with online.
I'm not trying to defend anyone here or make up stories about Kat's home life but I am trying to figure out why the mother of the 19 year old would do what she did. I find it so weird.
I can see a scenario where a teenager thinks her life is terrible, tells a guy she meets on line how awful things are for her and between he and his mother decide to take matters into their own hands to help her.
Again, not trying to defend anyone's actions here, just trying to understand. MOO
