That is why I was adamant about my girls. This is the norm and not the unheard of. It doesn't surprise me, but it does make me angry at the moms that didn't see it happening to their daughters. You cannot bury your head in the sand and I have never done that. I played an active role in protecting mine. I always told them when they accused me of being so overprotective, "but you will not see your face on a milk carton somewhere."

If she was worried enough about her cheating spouse to tail him...she would never have allowed him to take the babysitter home. Who cares about what she did or did not do. She didn't act on whatever she knew about him and it cost a girl her life.

I wondered too why she didn't take the babysitter home. If she didn't trust him which is obvious why trust him with a 12 yr old little girl? I wouldn't want to be in her shoes because I would think that she must feel some horrible guilt.

I love the way that you were so protective over your daughters Your stories just made my day! I'll relate them to my granddaughter if her baby is a girl!

I don't think this is fair, SS. I know plenty of women who might GPS their husband because they think he's stepping out but that doesn't mean they think their husband is going to rape and kill a school girl babysitter.

A potentially cheating husband does not automatically equal a man who is unsafe around young girls. This woman does not need to be taken to task for her inability to read his creepy mind, IMHO.

The only person who did anything wrong here is the man that ran this child down on the side of a deserted road.

My best friend's husband cheated on her and I knew it and she knew and that man was NOT to be trusted around adult women in that regard, but both she and I trusted him to drive a babysitter home and care for his/her daughter. Adulterer does not equal pedopheliac rapist murder.
