<p>Is this the parents’ fault?
The girl’s?
The guy’s?
Myspace’s?</p>

<p>As parents, how does this make you feel?</p>

<p>girls and guys faults- it took some doing for that girl to pull off what she almost did…and she new exactly what she was doing, the guy, well, ick, the parents, they thought they knew their daughter, and trusted her</p>

<p>myspace- not their fault</p>

3

<p>I have a feeling that the guy was just using her as his ticket to the US. I don’t know what she was thinking about wanting to marry a complete stranger. But hey, at least she wanted to get married and not just laid.</p>

<p>Foolish Moron.</p>

<p>Young love? Maybe. Ticket to the US? Maybe. Time will tell. I don’t blame the parents or myspace.</p>

<p>How can it not be the parents’ fault? Their 16-year-old daughter manages to leave the house and actually leave the COUNTRY!! and they don’t know! Come on! That is ridiculous! Maybe the fact that she was gone the whole day would be some sort of a clue.</p>

<p>If a child sneaks out of the house to go to party for a couple hours when their parents believe they are asleep whose fault is it if the child gets hurt?</p>

8

<p>She is soooo grounded!</p>

<p>The key statement in this article:
“Sana Jinzawi said five other Jericho residents had brought American girls to Jericho in recent years and that all of them now live with their wives in the U.S.”</p>

<p>The guy lied. The family coluded. The reason is stated above. </p>

<p>As for the girl: 16 year olds do a lot of stupid things. This was one of them. As Dadguy implies, it’s a good bet that her parents won’t let her out of their sight for a SECOND for the next 2 years.</p>

<p>crazyapp2010, I understand that as a 16 year old you have a responsibilty to act soundly and not make stupid decisions, but the parents should have some sort of control over what their child is doing online. And dont compare leaving for a party for a couple of hours across the street to buying a plane ticket, getting to the airport, and flying to another country! Certainly the latter would take longer than a couple of hours! Frankly, you are a poor parent if you dont notice your child has been gone for over 24 hours and has left the country.</p>

<p>I wasn’t aware that the U.S. had a shortage of swarthy 20-year-old guys interested in underage girls.</p>

13

<p>I don’t suppose there’s any way to prevent an underage person from buying an airline ticket, is there? What, with the Internet, at all.</p>

14

<p>He bought the ticket I think…</p>

<p>And ewwwwww to the whole thing</p>

<p>love is in the air</p>

<p>That is just so wrong.</p>
