Topic : 11/17 The Search for Natalee and Amy

I am a woman in the U.S. Navy who is so ashamed that the man who left  Amy in that situation is part of my Navy. If he would have taken her with him or even just reported the situation the only punishment he would have recived is a two week ship restriction! Can you believe that? To be honest with you, he probably would not have recieved any level of punishment in the event that he could have saved her from a tremendous amount of torture not to mention her life, the navy would not have punished him. He should be dishonorably discharged for not fulfilling the oath he took to protect  Americans.  All that Amy has endured since his point of contact with her rests on his hands.  

For those of you writing from Aruba and saying how upset you are that we would boycott your country, etc. please realize things are not as nice there as you would like to think.  When we live in a country, the nasty underground things are often hidden from us.  It is only when an atrocity occurs that our eyes are opened. 

Someone mentioned the Red Light District of Aruba and how the girls are seen by drs., blah blah blah.  No one was talking about the "legal" sex for sale in Aruba.  Everything that was mentioned on the boards or on the show today was about the illegal sex trade going on in that area of the world.  Does it happen just in Aruba?  Heck, no.  It happens all over the world.  Could it be happening in the U.S.?  Possibly.   

Please understand that the U.S. is a nation of people wanting to help Beth and do anything we can to find Natalee (and Amy).  The only thing we can do is to spend our money elsewhere...so that's what will happen until Natalee and Amy show up at home.

i suggest if you have this kind of info (the kind that you imply that you have), that you provide some information to the authorities. Why would you have this info and not act upon it? I have to wonder if you are not just someone blowing hot air. i must wonder if you know the ramifications of your alligations. if they are in fact true, then do the right thing and talk to the authorities.

The cause of all of this pain and horror is SIN! 

That is:  the seperation of a person from the direction of his/her Creator. This seperation plunges the person into deeper and deeper spiritual darkness. Because sexuality is an integral part of our spiritual connection to one another, it is one of the first places that is affected by this division from all that is good and holy. Over time the person becomes increasingly depraved, perpetrating increasingly wicked acts. It leads to such debauchery as the child sex trade (including the filming of rape, torture, murder and necrophilia, known as "snuff" films). Unfortunately we all pay the wages for these sins, particularily children, ours and theirs. 

The cure? Reconciliation of ourselves to our true purpose as set out by God (whichever name you use for him/her).  

All else is like a band-aid on a large festering wound. 

My heart is with the families of both girls and all those who grieve for their missing ones. My prayer is that you will find a measure of peace in all this sadness. God bless you always. 

None of my grown kids has any children. They have all purposely decided not to add more misery to the earth. Life has become so cheap over the last 30 years. There are no guarantees "your" children are going to be safe. No matter how powerfully protective "your" hormones make you feel, the facts are that all  children will be exposed to some degree of exploitation and danger in their lives now. Whether that exploitation comes from clothes, entertainment, music, or travel, there is a lot of money to be made in revving up your and my child's sexual feelings. Life is cheap, cheap, cheap. and no one has any respect for it anymore. 

All we have to do is look at the medical industry. These people are in the FLESH TRADE for the big bucks as well. There isn't any real difference when you look at it, and we are all prey to doctors, nurses and hospitals who might have a selfish reason to harm us.

Dear dr phil, 

normally I really like watching your shows and when I saw that your show was going to be about nathalee, I was deperate to see it. At the moment I am doing an internship at Aruba (I study law in the Netherlands) and I followed the case ever since it started. I think it is great that you try to help the family with investigating all options and especially the sex slave industry (because I believe that is a more realistic place to look, than murder) but I was shocked to hear you say one again that all americans should boycot aruba, that is total bullshit!!!!! Just because one rich american girl went missing here and the police was not quick enough in finding her, everyone should boycot aruba? Of course mistakes were made, but this is just an absurd statement!!! In america, hundreds of people get killed every year en hundreds of black girls for example disappear every year without the police doing very much to find them. Does that mean that everyone should boycot the US, because it is such a dangerous place and because the police isn't doing its job either? NO!! Dutch girls went missing abroad in countries were the police forces were not that cooperative, but our government never made a declaration on tv that we should boycot those countries, of course not, because that doesn't make sense!! I do feel sorry for the family of nathalee and of course I hope that she is ok, but I strongly believe that this case gets so much attention because her mother is just overwhelming the media. There are so much girls missing, why just focus on this one? I hope that she will be found soon and alive, but please stop blaming and punishing the people of aruba, who can do nothing about it!!!! It is a great island, that people should keep visiting!!!!
