I felt this was what was going on all along. The girl ran away willingly.

Yes, her home life was awful, no doubt, and she may have hated being in her home, but he also lured her away, with promises of "a better life".

Don't forget, she also told her sister, "If I'm not back by 6 p.m., call the cops"

So she didn't trust this guy 100%.

Do not blame the victim!

She did not ask for, nor deserve any of the treatment that she has been through both by her mother, and at the hands of her kidnapper.

And that's exactly what he did, kidnapped her.

Also, even if she did go "willingly", legally, because she is a minor, which means under the age of consent, which is 18, she can NOT agree to anything.

Blaming the victim? Yes she did go willingly but she is a MINOR who is under the age of consent!

"She ran away."

Yes, she did, AWAY from being beaten and watching the same thing happen to her siblings.

She ran AWAY from the mother who abused her.

She ran AWAY from the father who did nothing to stop it.

She let herself believe her teacher would love her and take care of her, and really, what did SHE know of love? She certainly had never seen it in action.

She's a victim of at least three adults who should have protected her.

Right on, Noel!

When you never felt loved, nurtured, or safe, your notions of love and caring get very skewed. Trust me on that one.

I would've run away, too! Good Lord! What a so-called "mother."

She is going on 16. Call it being a minor whatever, she knew what was up. She is a young woman, not a child.

**********************************

No, @SeaMaiden She's not a young woman, she's closer to being a child than a young woman.

Let me make two points for you, please.

1. She comes from an abusive home where kids were beaten, thrown down the stairs and generally abused. Not only does that leave an emotional scar, it deters emotional and sometimes physical growth. She is most definitely NOT a young woman.

2. The brain does not fully develop until around 25 years of age. Even young adults aren't fully developed.

Not even the law believes a 15 year old is fully grown, it's why they are called minors.

@SeaMaiden I have to disagree with you on this. The news reports that are coming out are strongly indicating that she came from a chaotic, abusive home so this scenario dovetails perfectly into it. I personally don't believe the mother just recently became abusive unless there is something medically I am not aware of. I think this family may have been in constant turmoil and the father finally manned up and separated from his wife and took the remaining children but for her the damage was done. I'd like to say shame on all of them but to be honest I don't even know where to begin as this child has been failed on so many different levels.
