money
Here's my view. yes, legally they are adults but, it is disrespectful what they did.
Here is what I ask. Who is paying for their college? who provides extra money for them while at college? who helps them when they need it? When they are out of school for the summer, where do they go? (answer: home probably), do they pay for medical insurance? Do they pay for all of their expendatures?
Point in case: they may pay for some of these but until they are COMPLETELY independent, they are not adults in my opinion.

It means that I can say that because I'm also from MA :lol:
(It means that you hear the weirdest stories come from MA...heck...today I was on the redline and I was sitting in between two pregnant ladies... The only thing I could think of was that story a couple weeks back)

....and sadly... it´s that lack of morals and values -like family- what is ruling the world nowadays. No matter how many times you explain to these two why they did wrong, they will not understand it and keep the "we are 'adults', we can do as we please" attitude.... until they have kids and they do the same to them.

Be sure to secretly take your girlfriend, so her over protective mother can abuse her position, to have a nation wide search to look for her non-"missing" daughter.

I´m not sure if I would say the mother was being overprotective... if they on purpose didn´t use cc´s or cell phones, how was she to know that they were fine and only not using them? They were already gone on the road, but anything could have happened to them while they reached Orlando or in there.
I hope that if I ever have kids, I can raise them to be caring people with their parents and don´t forget the sacrifices they make to give them decent living that allows them to go to school and on vacation with their friends...
One can only hope... *sigh* :wave:

Nowhere in the article does it even once mention that the parents are paying for their children's college. It does say, however, that the girl's mother told her not to go to Florida from Cape Cod. Apparently the mother is an intelligent person, considering that she is an assistant prosecutor in Wayne County (Mich. I think). If that was my kid I certainly would have been able to put 2 and 2 together.
I'm not saying that the kids are blameless but the mother did not need to start the commotion that she did.
I also heard on the radio this afternoon that the policeman who took the initial missing person report went overboard. A cop who called into the show I was listening to said that if he had taken the same report he wouldn't have put the same precedence on it, since there was no evidence of foul play...

Scary how they are both Law Students and He is in the State Police.
Is this the character of the people those professions are producing these days???
:brick: :lookaroun :zipit:
Majoring in law as an undergraduate is a FAR cry from actually becoming a lawyer, with judgement like that I doubt they will pass the bar.

I have to completly agree with WDW John. it's understood that parents are paying for college. My parents are paying for my college, except with my money that I transfer into their acount so they can have a tax break. durring summer I have been offered a job where I get to stay on campus. I don't have to go home necessarily for breaks because I have friends to stay with. From what I read there was no evidence to suggest a kidnapping took place and if she couldn't figure out that they went to wdw after she told them not to then I would question her degree. True, they shouldn't have runn off, but their just realizing their freedom and wanted to exercise it.
