Wondering and questioning facts heard on the news isn't judging, it's just that- wondering and questioning.
Kidnapping charges were dropped today. Sadly, Kara went with him willingly. I dont know what that means for her or if charges will be brought up against her.
I hope the law takes into consideration her age and mental immaturity therein. They need to understand her 14 year old mindset. If she was infatuated with this boy she might have seen this whole thing as wildly romantic. If she went willingly you have to wonder if he wasn't the only bad seed here.
Has anyone else with a son here started looking at him in a new light? I guess this has made me take special note of my relationship with 9yo ds. I don't want there to ever be anything going on inside him that the Lord doesn't make evident to us to help him deal with, kwim? This whole situation is unfathomable and unfortunately it seems it will remain a media circus like so many legal cases are these days. So sick for all those involved.
That's sort of how I've felt about it all along. She does need to be held accountable to some degree, but she is still a child. A young girl "in love" never thinks straight!
Either way... I'm still praying. Whether she is charged as an accomplice or not, I would think she still has to be grieving and then to be going through all of this... I can't imagine it.
That is just so sad. Like I said before the boys is someone's son who loves him so very much and Kara has family too that love her. Life will be hard for both now. They really need much prayer. Also I don't think anyone is really talking or making judgements here. I think all are just trying to understand how this happens to two families involved in church and who homeschool. Both tend to turn out good kids. Most of us here do both and sure don't want that for our sons or daughters. That hurts too bad to think about for me anyway.
