Early in reading this thread I was thinking that if you have a daughter like Lisa and she gets mixed up with a Johnny, you put her on the next flight to Europe and tell her she's getting a dream vacation.
Well,you can't fault the parents for their "way" of trying to handle the situation because they ended up paying the ultimate price, didn't they? But, as I posted before...I went thru something similar with my own daughter, who was over 21, and I was prepared to FIGHT TO THE DEATH to get rid of the infestation that was this particular man. And he knew it. And I won. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT....for your kid. You can't play nice, you have to get dirty, you're in a street fight with a thug, but parents...YOU CAN DO IT! do it, so no other parents have to pay the price that the Straubs did.
Of course, I don't fault them. Hindsight is 20⁄20 and armchair quarterbacks are worse. I'm sure Lisa's parents never imagined THIS could happen.
I recall the story about your daughter and GOOD ON YOU!
