Replies to '09/15 The Disappearance of Natalee'

I agree to the sentiment of what teenage girls will do when parents are not there.  As the mother of two teen girls myself I know that they are not little angels.  I would be a fool to think so.  An 18 yr old  

beuatiful girl that far away from home without parents there keeping a watchful eye is bound to do things even if they are out of character to her normal at home life.  I knw that Dr Phil said that her lifestyle shows no blemish...........but that is at home ............that is not in a far away place where one might think that anything she does or anyone she meets there she will never cross paths with again.  This helps to breed a whole different mentallity especially with an overexcited and adventuresome teen (male of female). 

  

On the other hand .....NOONE deserves the trreatment or the misjustice that is being dealt to her or her family and ARUBA should be ashamed of the way they are treating the situation.Cover ups and trying to make a young girl out to be the one to blame is just WRONG.No matter what she did or did not do.  I pray for her family and send out my best wishes from one mother to another.  My children are my life and the best thing that I have accomplished with it and would never in my worst nightmare want to be in her mothers shoes.  I say good for her for not giving up !!!!! 

  

Also kudos to Dr. Phil for shedding some light and helping to apply pressure for some justice for this family 

I am a single Mom of 2 boys. I have raised them to respect women, yet I do not know everything that goes on in their head. I do know a lot that goes on in their life, however. I believe her Mother & believe she is telling the truth about Natalee. I was a virgin until I was married & can honestly say that I was a goody two shoes. Even though my parents sheltered me & curiousity played in my mind...I still remained respectful. Yes, I went & socialized with my friends when they went out drinking, but that didn't mean that I was loose. Please do not call the kettle black if it is not. Even if she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is still unacceptable to allow Aruba & it's people to get away with what we hope is not murder. I hope & pray that she is still alive. And I hope that justice is served!  No offense to the government, but money talks. Let's show some respect to her & her family. Dr. Phil has gone to great lengths to research this before it aired & it is not for us to judge anyone. God Bless them...a candle is lit & many prayers are sent.
