re: 15 yo female from Texas is missing (possibly baited by older man off internet)

know it makes me a terrible person, but I always have mixed feelings about these cases. Sure the dude is a predator and deserves whatever is coming to him, but I hate how the teenage girl never catches any of the blame. 

She knowingly goes with him. She can pick up a phone and end this whenever she wants to, but when the police eventually find her, the dude will be crucified (as he should) and she will be the "woe is me" victim.

Damn, the OT is full of trash.

Sometimes, the media doesn't really do the whole "woe is me" thing, if the victim willingly goes with the perp.

However, this nasty old frick has been preying on a mentally unstable, 15 year old female. He probably posed as someone else, learned about her problems, as she is unstable and is at the age of rebelling against parents and felt she had someone she could confide in, and this sick frick played off of those feelings/emotions. Hell, it's possible he even convinced her to get off her meds, saying she didn't need them, knowing that she was already easily manipulated but would be even easier to manipulate if she was off her meds.

So yea, I do feel bad for her. She has mental problem that an old, nasty predator preyed off of. She's been on meds so it's clear that she isn't always in sound mind. Maybe she does deserve some sympathy. She clearly has problems and those problems were exposed by some sick old frick.

But, I wouldn't expect an idiot on the OT, like you to think about that and maybe stop and think for a second that she's 15, which is already a very impressionable age and on top of that, she has mental health issues that don't seem to be being managed correctly and she has what appears to be POS parents that don't seem to help her and or monitor her actions, especially her online actions. Which, should probably be monitored in normal 15 year old females, but even moreso a 15 year old female with mental illness.
