Topic : 01/19 Follow-ups

Beth, I don't know if you'll ever see this but I wanted to say a few things to you. 

I am extremely sorry for everything you are going through.  I am a mother of two and can't imagine the horrors of your nightmare.  I pray every day that my daughters will never have to experience anything close to this.  I wanted you to know that I admire you.  You are showing great strength and courage.  It makes me proud.  I'd like to think that if I was faced with a similar situation that I would do the same.  I believe that you will get your answers and hope it's soon.   

Please, please, please take care of yourself.  When I saw you on the show today I was a little concerned.  It looked like health wise you might not be doing so good.  If and when Natalee does come home to you she is going to need you more than ever.  You have to stay strong and take care of yourself.  Please know that I am praying for you and that I hope you get your daughter back. 

Keep up the fight! 

I cant believe what I just watched on the show !!! Up here in Canada we've heard about this case on the news but NOT enough. Thank you Dr. Phil for helping publicize the current standings on this Mothers agony. Please dont stop. Natalee deserves no less. It is obvious that the answers given by the representative of Aruba were politically biased and totally unbelievable. As a member of the North American commerce circle I strongly recommend that we boycott all tourism to this country flat out. We'll see some REAL time results and answers in the case of Natalee Holloway when the Attorney Generals office gets a kick in the butt from the Ministry of Finance. This backwards country understands one thing. ..Money... I strongly suspect corruption within the Attorney Generals office, all the way down the line, including the police department... You'll never see me on vacation in Aruba . God bless you Mrs Holloway...and Gods speed..

  

   i feel for mrs.  Holloway,i know how it feels to lose a loved one. 

   

i just wondered if the police in aruba,have checked any connection to 

argentinia. from what i have read in the past,that ARUBA,was a haven for 

white slavery groups,kidnapping ,and taking young girls to argentinia,and then sold. 

they probably have,but i believe "if" this happen, Natalie,may still be alive. 

My thoughts and prayers are with Natalie's family and friends. Until this mystery is resolved, I wouldn't spend a dime to go to Aruba.

How ignorant can we be to boycott an island for 1 missing person?  If that were the case we should boycott every state.  Just walk into any Walmart to see our OWN missing children.   Who is speaking out for them?   I vow to boycott Illinois because they have missing children which have not come home and their parents are besides themselves with grief.  Boycotting the island of Aruba isn't the answer.   Why isn't anyone talking about why Natalie was out after curfew?  Why isn't anyone talking about a sexually active teenager getting in over her head...in a foreign county?  What about the kids in Texas who go over the border and never come home?  We don't hear those stories.  Lets throw in boycotting Mexico too.   Be real people.  Though this story is sad.  The island of Aruba nor their wonderful citizens aren't to blame.  Bad choices on both Natalie and the boy's are to blame.  Yes, we may not be getting answers as fast as we would like but neither are the parents of the missing children here in the USA.  

What makes her so special? This girl was someone's daughter! I would be devastated!  Sure we can all sit back and talk about her and her family and all of the mistakes or bad decisions they may have made but what good does that do?  I am so proud of this mom,   if this was my daughter I would use whatever avenue I had to find her, including the media!  I just think we should all pray for this family and hope for her safe return!                      

At the beginning of this part of the show Dr. Phil made a statement to the people of Aruba that we want help with solving this terrible act against this poor young woman and her family we Americans are cable of coming together and helping other Americans I for one will not set foot on Aruba soil if something is nor resolved and urge all Americans to do the same and see how much hitting Aruba in the pocketbook has there are plenty other beautiful island we can recreate in.  You know I have two daughters and the thought of this happening to one of them makes me so scared I pray for this young woman and this Family.  You know I also heard about possible salve trade involvement in this case and I think on an Island like Aruba it is a  perfect place to take an American like this young woman  and I am so angry at how the Dutch Government is showing such disrespect for this family and this country and all its people with the way they are handling this terrible act. I will stop here I am not very savvy with politics but I know about the love parents can have for their children and I know that in the big picture of money and power this just the price of doing business and that these will happen but I can see the pain and fear in the eyes of that mother.

Thank You for a great show Dr. Phil   

What all americans need to do is hit the Arubian government where it will hurt them the most until we get answers. THE WALLET!!!! 

We all know that these boys are responsible for Natalees disappearance.  

If we hurt the tourism that Aruba lives so richly off of, which is Americans so holiday there, you would see how quickly the Arubian government would come down on the police and investigators to finally solve this very sad case and give Natalees Mother the closure that she so desperately needs. watching her on the show this afternoon, sadden my heart so deeply. The pain she is experiencing is worn on her face,  as a badge of pain and torment. She has my prayers, and I hope that all will talk to each person we know, tell them to stay away from Aruba. I also think the family should buy some air-time and do a public annoucement to denounce tourism to Aruba. Go to Jamacia instead. It is just as beautiful and tropical. Montego Bay is GORGEOUS!  Blessings to the Holloway family. Have faith, Truth will prevail.. 

Hello, I am new to this and this is my first post. I just want to start by saying  I love Dr.Phil and I love when he gives the average everyday people the publicity they need in order to get help when they can not get the justice our country promises.  I actually am a college student and I try to keep up with the Natalie Holloway(I think that is how you spell the last name) case.  I just wanted to say to the people out there saying that Natalie was on drugs, she was drinking, etc... SO WHAT!!! I am sure most of you have done it or done something else similar you are not proud of- or something that is not considered "moral". My point is, that I feel horrible for Natalie's family especially her mother. It makes me think of my mother and how it would be if it happened to her. The case here is not how Natalie got into the situation or what she was doing, it is that something did happen that night and her mother needs answers. She needs to stop receiving bullsh*t and hear the truth. All she wants to know is her daughter dead or alive? It should not be that hard. If the boys did do something they deserve to pay and get the public humility that Natalie's parents have had to suffer this whole time.  Someone said on here, Natalie could have agreed to having sex. NO, actually if I heard correctly that one of the boys statement is that they did rape her. So all rapist, murderers, and criminals all deserve to go to jail until they die. This is just my opinion. There are too many people that get off the hook from having crooked lawyers lie for them. Lawyers who cover up the truth should be prosecuted as well. All, I really want to say is how horrible I feel for Natalies mother and families and all other victims and families out there. I almost get sick just hearing about these horrible stories. I think our world is getting more screwed up everyday and the criminals are getting off way to easy. I'ts like they do a couple years and then they are free to go--yeah I am sure they are safe on the streets.  They just go back to do what they did before because they know how easy it is to get off.  This is unacceptable and I think Dr.Phil should do a show on this topic. There is simply not enough being done and it is scary. It is not safe to live in the world anymore with out always watching your back and it should not be this way. I think if we eliminate the bad people there would not be as many horrible stories like Natalies.  Again, these are just my opinions and I don't want to offend anyone I am just sharing how I feel. Thank You.

I am extremely upset about this situation, the country of Aruba is not responding to this family at all, all this family is getting is smoke and mirrors, I have a teenage daughter and I would be going out of my mind if I were in their shoes. I think the USA and Canada should boycott Aruba, refuse to spend any money there, withdraw any financial assistance. I also think there are specially trained people who could take care of this problem, if the proper channels continue too fail...
