Well I don't know that he sought them out; he appears to be a long time family friend and with the father too. He has known them before the daughter was even born.
Iknow what you say exists and it's the sad offshoot of the disintegration of the family unit. I, myself, am divorced, but I'm not desperate to have any man around so I am with someone with similar values who does not need me for a place to live takes his own children regularly(that speaks a lot to quality imo of a guy who is divorced where the mother is not disrupting visitation for her own selfish reasons). That said, child support when paid actually helps(or should) a mother in lower income scale to make BETTER choices not worse. Having a bit of financial freedom that help offers to take that burden to feel like you need to pool resources, should ease the desperation some single women feel so I think a lot of it is that women being the emotional creatures they are they become easily snookered by the losers who are good at talking a good game. Women(and men) should remember if you are with someone who is not willing to focus on their own children(and respect your need to focus on raising yours) even if that means some difficult times for the relationship, then they probably are in it for short term acquisitions anyway and not worth the time in the long run. Too many times the kids take the hit because at least one of the adults is desperate to be in a relationship situation again.
*As an aside for the men, I'm not delving into the male side of things here--only speaking as a female with my own experience and what I've seen in others over the year so I'm deliberately not addressing the bullshit men also have to put up with from my own gender*
Well now there are more questions then answers about the incident.
The girl and everyone involved that survived or not seem to have exhibited some odd behavior before and after the fact.
The News sites that have readers reactions on line seem 3/4 % wondering if the girl was infact kidnapped or went willingly. Lots and lots of readers saying they feel there is something fishy here especially when she says her captor did not feed her for 6 days ??????
One writer questioned if she is pregnant and another of how she could not have known her mom and brother were dead and the kidnapper would actually shoot anyone.
Her conduct after being rescued is bazaar, few hearing their family was killed will go on line or to twitter a day later to send out pictures of themselves or discuss their favorite
entertainer.
Problem for most is when she met up with people on horse back why as there were 4-or so she says she did not ask for help. She said her friend had said he would shoot them but ---3-4 against one is worth taking a chance when one has been kidnapped.
Word is she was told about the death of her mom and brother by authority's the day after she was rescued, a big shock so she went on line and twitter.
This is a 16 year old girl she is not in any way considered a challenged youth. Look back to us when we were 16 and remember what it was to loose a family member or friend. Shock for days, bewilderment of the loss.
Some say we all grieve differently --all too true, we do some very odd things when we loose a parent or a sibling, it takes time to mentally process what we have loss and began to move on.
Strange to say the least-------
