I can see Mark's FB. I have looked at it over and over hundreds of times. I don't know what I can say here and what is not allowed. From reading his page I have gathered that he likes to "party". Lots of references to him being passed out drunk and one girl refers to him several times as her "little pothead". He also talks about being in ISS for "beating a guys *advertiser censored*" and offers to send his friends a link to the video. He posted a video of a different fight on his FB, not him but a friend of his is fighting in that one. None of this is meant to disrespect Mark or his family.I'm just trying to help bring him home and if we don't know what his lifestyle was then it makes it harder to find him. I also agree with the person that said she doubts that the Tech kids would mingle with the local teens. I really doubt that.
Omgosh really? Now we know why it's somewhat private. Reading this now certainly changes his "image". What it
doesn't do is deter many of us from still seeking info to help find him. It is my single most wish of today for parents of missing persons to be as close and complete in description of their children as is possible. Painting these idealic and immaculate pictures of these victims IMO further victimizes said victim bc it
never helps to find them, instead it hinders it. Let that sink in...
Not Being Completely Truthful About A Missing Loved One Hinders The Search For Said Victim. Only complete truth and understanding helps. Then it needs to be paired with intelligent logic. With some luck on top of that, hopefully these missing people can be found. It's not always a bad reflection on parents when their teens enter the "stupid stage" lol. I don't know many teens whom haven't tried weed at least once, or gone to a party & tried drinking, or smoking ciggies/chew. While I don't condone it, and I'm anything but lackadaisical about this issue, I do think a lot of it is normal. It's a given fact that teenagers will constantly test their boundaries, hence the need for boundaries in the first place. We parents aren't blessed with children to be their
friends, we are supposed to be raising them which in turn makes us
parents - friendship is a bonus on down the road. So again, every bit of info - good & bad - about Mark (or any other missing person) needs to be brought forth pronto, otherwise nobody can help find him to their fullest ability. Plain & simple.
