Quote From: jaydavis1I see now why other countries think Americans are so arrogant. To think that our law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, can solve a crime so much better and more efficiently than another country is so arrogant it is laughable. We have so many cold cases in this country the networks and cable TV have enough shows (Cold Case Files, etc.) for years to come. There are mistakes made in most if not all investigations in this country so do not think we are infallible just because its the FBI doing the investigating.
You and your family are far more likely to come to harm right in your own hometown as opposed to outside the US as there is probably a convicted sex offender (or two) living right in your neighborhood. If you chose to live your life in fear by not traveling or allowing your children to experience other cultures and countries that is certainly your perogative, but do not expect everyone else to follow suit and boycott a beautiful island just because of the remote possibility of becoming a crime victim.
I never said that our FBI could do a much better job! I did say that they should have allowed us to help in the investigation in any way. More people working on this together makes the most sense.
I do travel and again you are putting words in my mouth! I have been to Israel, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy, Bahamas, Japan, and Holland. I am boycotting the island because I do not feel that they used every means available and necessary to find this girl.
I do not live in fear, nor do I have or want any children. Still, I do feel that letting teenagers go on trips like this without adult supervision is risky and not something I would personally allow unless they were in a secured area with chaperons and escorts.
