I think it's funny people's perception of chatrooms. Here we all know it's just an internet application running on some box out in the world, but the average person out there thinks if you go into one you will be cursed with bad luck, spam, and viruses. That someone can steal all your personal info and indentity.
Lamb?s parents ended the relationship, grounded her from the Internet and put a lock that required a password on the computer. A couple weeks ago, she was allowed back online, but only while her parents supervised her. The computer also is located in the living room for easier supervision.
The family also visited an alternative school in Bend.
Yeah so let's blame the chatroom on this deal....looks like parent's that put on rules to make themselves more comfortable, rather than thinking of their kid's personal growth and possible sexuality lose again.
?She?s a typical 16-year-old,? her stepmother said. ?And for the most part, she?s a good kid. The only problem we?ve ever had with her is boys. The old boy-crazy thing.?
The girl is 16 years old, not 12....you don't want to deal with your daughter wanting to get stuffed and sweaty someday, but it's going to happen quite a few times over the course of her life.
The friend became especially worried about a 21-year-old Gresham man Lamb met on the Internet. That friend told the girl?s parents about the man.
Yeah those 21 year old's are dangerous, they can buy like beer and stuff.
?As far as we know, she hasn?t had time to establish an online relationship,? her stepmother said.
Lamb, who is always perfectly made up and likes to change clothes at least twice a day, left her backpack at her mom?s house. There also were no recent fights or arguments with her parents or four siblings to explain why she?d run away.
This leads her family to believe that even if Lamb did met someone online, she didn?t intend to leave with him and not return.
hmmm let's see my parents are constantly 'watching' me, they won't think anything is up if I packed my clothes and took them with me one day
🙂
?She didn?t even want to leave,? her stepmother said. ?She wanted to stay there.?
pwn3d!
I hope there was no coercion and the girl is just out having fun and growing up, my ex-wife's sister (her parents would not even let us leave the freaking house half the time saying whatever we needed to do on a date we can do there (with 2 younger brothers running around screaming and bugging us all the while)) pulled this with a criminal of some sort when she was about that age (I think she was 17 maybe she was 16, he was 40 something at the time), they pulled the whole manhunt thing and nothing came up until one day a year at 18 told her parents to stop looking for her.
My ex-wife and I knew exactly why she took off, and also knew the parent's probably forced the decision somewhat....she was also doing all these things just to defy them like piercings and tattoos (the guy was in a motorcycle gang also)...half the stuff my ex-wife did for me or to me was just to spite her parents.
