I was watching Joran Van der sloot's interview with Greta Van Sustern the other day. Joran's a smooth talker and surprisingly fluent in English. He(at the time 17 yrs old) was describing how he and Natalie proceeded to have sex but Joran stopped short after discovering there was no condom in his wallet. He said he always carried a condom with him and never had sex without one. According to him Natalie was apparently a little disappointed but said she understood.

Now when I said I thought Natalie's mother is a lib, I wasn't specifically refering to her politics. What mother lets her teenage daughter fly off to another continent all by herself with the express objective of 'having fun' ?

Try to educate yourself a bit before commenting on things you clearly have exceedingly little knowledge of.

Natalee did not go to another continent "all by herself". Ever heard the old saw about stopping the digging when you are at the bottom of a hole? Your entire contribution to this thread is apparently to slam Natalee's mom. Bully for you.

What continent is an island in the Caribbean on.

She wasn't by herself. It was a chaperoned trip, and she was with several girlfriends.

What Kind of mother? Me, I let my daughter go to Bahamas for Senior Week. She was chaperoned, and with a bunch of her classmates and girlfriends. There but for the Grace of God go I.

You make a good point. If Natalie had been raised properly she may have never been in the situation that caused her to lose her life. Its sad.

??? Tens of thousands...in this country alone, I'm sure.

Here's an FBI account from one of Natalee's close girlfriends of how they spent their time in Aruba.
It is very different that the official "Beth" version.

FBI 302 for Lee Ashford Broughton 6/03/2005

They were drinking from morning till night on two successive nights. And Natalee was not the only Mountain Brook girl who was doing body shots at Carlos and Charlie's.
There was at least one chaperone at CnC's that night and no one stopped these girls.

Beth will not talk about the dangers of teenage drinking. Yes, it was legal in Aruba, but why pay for an all-you-can-drink booze trip for your teenager to a foreign country.

This girl could just have easily drowned for all we know. According to one of the FBI statements by a security guard at the hotel, the MB kids were out skinny dipping that same night.
