Yes, in the texts I read (which I feel so bad for his family having to see -- I can't imagine anything more embarrassing than having to read my kids' sexy texts or having my parents read mine) he seemed respectful of her boundaries and serious about consent. The whole BDSM/knife play kink is not...

I've been through a divorce with a young child (she was around the same age as the Banfields' daughter at the time). It was terrible and painful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. And yet as long as I live, I will never ever ever understand why people come up with these insanely convoluted and...

I agree with the "extreme jealousy" part, but there is nothing to suggest that M & S's relationship overlapped with her marriage to MM. M & S met online, and she spoke in the wedding video of enduring "bad Bumble dates," so it stands to reason that she was single for a good while between her...

1,000 percent cosign this and the post above it by @academyrd. I know we all want to live in a world where cause and effect exist and justice is served and bad things don't happen to good people -- but as we should know all too well by now, it doesn't always work that way. There is absolutely...

They didn't. From this link: "In April, Columbus police received a 911 hang-up call that came from the area of the Tepe home. When a dispatcher called the number back, the woman, who sounded as if she were crying, said she didn't need police help. She did not provide her name or location to...

In context, I think it was something like "helping screw over your son," but who even knows with this family?

Respectfully, I don't think 18-year-old women need to be supervised at all times to keep them safe, and I doubt anyone would say the same thing about an 18-year-old man. An 18-year-old is legally an adult, not a child, and the conversation shouldn’t center on what "trouble" they might get into...

RSBM -- maybe it's just me, but I don't find strange men "instantly calming," ever, and even LESS so if they're wearing makeup or a wig. 😂

Sure, and my MIL thinks my 13-year-old daughter is going to get human-trafficked if I let her walk to the corner store, but she also thinks people are putting fentanyl in her candy bucket when she goes trick-or-treating and scheming to leave a water bottle on my car in the grocery store parking...

I'm sure trafficking victims have been transported on cruise ships. What I have a very hard time believing (and this document does not change my mind) is that victims are KIDNAPPED FROM cruise ships. That's just not the way it works. Human trafficking=very real. Stories about people with...

Yeah, you could definitely FEEL an open door even without seeing it at that time of year in Idaho. It's entirely possible that XK felt the cold air while bringing leftovers to the fridge or something and said, "IS someone here?" (misheard by half-asleep DM) before being overtaken by BK and...

I always read this as, "He didn't have to do this. ANY of this." I don't think it speaks to who his target was or the order in which it happened. I think it was just a distraught family member imagining a world in which BK DIDN'T go upstairs, DIDN'T enter the house, DIDN'T kill four innocent...

"Officers said that while the woman had not yet been formally identified, the family of Henrietta Huszti had been informed and that the search for her sister Eliza was continuing." Odd way to word this, given that the family is the exact same for both of them, but clearly they have unofficially...

Obituaries for children are always heartbreaking, and this one is no exception. "Erin was a little fireball for her young age. She could be a little spicy at times and always had a sassy comeback for anyone trying to tease her. Erin was so sweet and full of life, just starting to become her own...

This is so damn senseless and sad. Poor JB. This is the first I'm hearing that she was injured, too. Interesting, as well, to note that they charged them in Louisiana for both deaths...
