Ridiculous....why would anyone, even divorced parents, let their 18 year old go out of the country without them?? Stupid. My children went to foreign countries on carefully planned mission trips many times with the church group.
It wasn't ridiculous or stupid.

Indeed.
Where the H#LL were the chaperones, that she got off on her own with NO ONE (apparently) knowing where she went, or with whom??
1 HS girl +
3 men +
She never came home =
???
How boneheaded are her parents, the chaperones and the cops involved?

Time to start boycotting ARUBA until they solve this sad and scarry case. Well that's the Most Stupid Post of The Day.
Boycott a country because a teenager has been running around with a bunch of boys that she doesn't know and hasn't gone home?

This 18 year-old girl is out partying with three local men from the island? Sounds like she got herself in a situation that she couldn't handle.

Aruban police said Wednesday that they had questioned and released three local men who said they dropped the teenager off at her hotel late Sunday night. Officials said the girl's parents were unable to spot her on a hotel surveillance tape.It's gonna take a lot of bribes before the Aruban police do much of anything, and I'm sure everyone can look at this "three men who claimed to have dropped her off" business and know they probably assaulted and and then threw her body into the ocean.

Exactly. I hope other parents learn a lesson from this. Teenagers have no business leaving the country,Sorry, I disagree. Living in fear is the same as being dead.
There are many reasons to travel and many ways to plan the trips. Many are good reasons and many are good plans. Some are not.

ARUBA - an island of resorts and beauty on the "rim" or beaches, and a freaking Mogadishu war zone on the interior...

Never leave people to their own devices! She should have been chaperoned at all times. And even if she wasn't being chaperoned at all times, she's 18 years old, she knows better than to wonder off without telling someone, especially in a foreign land. I pray for her safe return.

I am glad to hear that your children did go on mission trips....those kinds of trips can change peoples lives and really instill a sense of pride in children.

Since we don't know what happened, we cannot rule out that she disappeared of her own volition.

Please people, we are talking about children, still in high school, going to a country where the laws are rarely enforced, especially for foreigners. Children have no business going off on trips like that.
Missionary work is different. War is different.

Too many liberal Americans have no idea of the risks they are taking when traveling to many countries both 3rd world and semi 3rd world.
the recent 20 yr sentence for a 20 something Aussie girl in Indonesia and multiple missing young girls in Caribbean over the years seems to have not gotten thru to Liberal America - it's all Bush's fault. (barff)
