Texting for Help, Part 2

The story today is that the girl met this 19-year-old guy on myspace.com and she's gone to see him at Newport Centre mall several times. She voluntarily met him on the street on Monday, cut school and went to his house.

Though the guy may end up being charged with statutory rape, the case is very different than what was first reported.

It seems to me that the parents don't know her as well as they think.

I feel sorry for her parents. They were so sincere on the news, begging for any information about their daughter, insisting that she HAD to have been kidnapped because it was out of character for her to cut school or run away... and they were TOTALLY wrong. They had no clue their 13-year-old was meeting guys online then going off to see them in person.

BTW, there's no way I'm letting my kid have a computer in his/her room. They have to be in the living room where I can see what the hell they're doing.
