Alright folks. Personal stories about how kids are different is pretty off topic here. Let's get back on track please. Thanks.

Her own family has come out and said they believe she went willingly...so there must be something indicating that she "wanted" to go with him. We don't know all of the details of the relationship between JE and BS. I'm sure manipulation and control was a large part of it, but this could be something that makes people...her own family included...think she wanted to go with him. Then obviously if she knew about/witnessed her mother's murder, she was probably incredibly scared and after he told her God knows what, she decided she'd go with him. I agree with you that most 12 year olds wouldn't just up and say they wanted to go away with a 32 year old man, but most 12 year olds don't even have any sort of non-familial relationship with a 32 year old man. I'm not trying to blame her for everything, but I feel that this situation could have been prevented but a lot of variables kept that from happening. JMO.
I have not seen or heard this and I too would like to see a link. I do not think they have said this but I may have missed it.Oh No...I missed this! When did the family come out and say they believe she went willingly? I was under the impression that no one (family / LE) had given any details...do you have a link to this, because I would sure like to read it. TIA
On the Find Brittany facebook page I just saw this comment left approx 7 hours ago.
just called the police and one of his friends that i dont even know at all just told me where he is so..
I find it hard to believe that someone this girl doesn't even know told her anything, but just putting it out there.
Not sure if I'm allowed to post it, but I saw this comment on another website:
If anyone is looking for more pics of both Brittany and Jeff, follow the 'Rate Him Back' button on Tina's myspace page (as someone posted previously). Make sure you are logged into myspace and then accept the application to be added. It will bring you to a long list of pictures of Jeff and his family (two children I believe?). I dont know why they have not made these photos public?
Does any one else think it strange that no one is saying what this guy did before? Where did he live before oct...how long was he in the roanoke area? Did he ALWAYS work in landscape etc??? I find it weird that they do not say much about him ?????????
i have been following from the beginning of all this and tho i do think that she went willingly, etc. i think that what she thought she was getting involved in and what was actually happening are probably two different things. i seriously doubt that she had/has much of an understanding as to the depth of the situation - shes 12, her not understanding the finality of this mess is beyond her capabilities - not her choosing not to care or understand. she is at a total disadvantage now more than she has ever been with je...i so hope they find her today!
eta: while i agree that the topic of bs willingly going (or however you may explain her being "involved" w/ je) may stigmatize her for long after she is found - i also think this is one of the most important aspect of this situation and WHY parents have to be hyper-vigilant about who they allow into their lives (theirs and especially their children). ws is a godsend for the readers that have had the good fortune to find it and all of the awesome info that it provides but unfortunately their are so so many that for some reason still dont have any understanding that there are PREDATORS everywhere and that even they are at risk... what and how do we get that info out there? this is what frustrates me more than anything because it seems like a simple message, as simple as the rule that we teach our children not to talk to strangers - but the parents should be following the same rules!
I was hoping to find good news this am.
I have a suggestion, but Im not sure how to do it.
We have so many warnings, little stories, a-airway, b-breathing, c-circulation.
or stop, drop and roll.,
Maybe their is something like that the some of the great minds here on WS could make, or with help![]()
this is not right but maybe warning. w-who is he, a-always nice, r-run ??
Opera did a couple of great shows, one was putting a missing poster up in Walmart, then dressed the child to exactly how the child was dressed in the picture. Not one person saw this child this child walking around in Walmart. Another show she did was asking small children what is a stranger, most said creepy or something to that effect, some said someone you dont know.
She also did a show to tell children how to get away, to scream. etc.
Does anyone know what the %s or statists are of stolen children in other countries?
3 tragicities that i know of, was mom or dad was watching the kids and just ran in the house for a minute. Maybe Im wrong on this one, but have you noticed what a hired babysitter looks like that abuses a child or steals them? I cant say it here, but it seems like it always the same body style.
