Unfortunately, its very sad. Hopefully if the guy is guilty, they fry him (personally I think he should be tortured to death but they say such things are cruel and unusual, no one seems to care what was done to the vicitm though.)
On another note, one has to wonder about the mentality of the people who meet with strangers they chat with on the InterWeb You'd think other people, especially teenagers would learn from the tragic mistakes of others.

Unfortunately, history repeats itself.

When society agrees a finalisation of ways of getting to deep rooted causes of problems then, hopefully, shall it not have a need to allow wanton waste of life.

i guess the girl was already vulnerable, possible lacked family interaction. i bet she knew the age of the guy, 17 girl + male in 30s isn't that uncommon.

In anycase her parents should have been more nosey. I don't have a problme with being nosey in my kids lives, I'm going to be very nosey as they get older, I'll want to meet all their freinds, and their freinds' parents. I don't care if it's embarrassing to have a nosey mum, better that then one who dosen't take an interest.
Originally posted by yo its meI don't have kids, but I suspect (harmlessly) embarrassing teenagers must be one of the perks of parenthood.

Originally posted by yo its mePeople do need to be more engaged in their kid's lives and show them that they care, but at the same time you don't want to be a "helicopter mum" who hovers protectively over them 24/7, preventing them from making mistakes and developing trust in their own ability to handle problems. That can smother their need for independence and make them bitter. I think that as they demonstrate to you that they can be responsible, you loosen the reins a bit and give them more and more freedom. You don't want to smother them.
