[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 232287, member: 6546"] Hi Marguerite-- I actually do enjoy "true crime" stories...and it may sound funny, but learning about criminal behavior patterns makes me feel a little safer--a little more aware of 'danger signs'. My husband and I never do anything without checking in with the other. If he is going to be late he will call and vice versa. We are not asking anything of difficult child that we do not do ourselves. To try and get our point across about the seriousness of this situation...we asked difficult child (who loves to write) to write us a five-page story about what could possibly happen to a girl who accepts a ride with someone her parents don't know and without telling anyone that she is getting in the car. The worst consequences difficult child could come up with were being "kidnapped" and the kidnappers then drop her off at the wrong address or angering her parents--who then force her to write an essay. AND she seems far more concerned about being "caught" then about anything else... That's why I say I wonder what else I should be asking about? It seems like she is only admitting to what we already know... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
