Did anyone see the NBC piece this morning? (I think it was NBC...) It was about Cancun beach vacations and the dangers for girls with rapes and kidnaps. Of course they mentioned the Natalie Holloway case that is still unsolved (I feel soooo bad for the family), and also had teenage girls that survived rape while on their high school graduation vacation with friends. Is it me, am I just over protective, or has the world changed since my girls went to high school about 15 years ago? I would NEVER,EVER have let my girls go at that age with friends. None of their friends ever wanted to go either. And we live in NY. I know today is different and kids seem to be doing much more than back then, but a parent is still a parent. I simply would put my foot down and say NO! If there is any respect in the home, they would not insist on going. I feel they are still not mature enough to handle such situations. What has happened to this world?
