The ones that went on the Today show and lied?

I think they believed her, were simply in denial their child could have done something so horrible. I can’t imagine how they must be feeling right now.

To me, that doesn't matter. They had their daughter back. They should have shut up at that point. Why did they go on the show? To defend themselves and their daughter's honor - purely selfish reasons. By going on the Today show and repeating her story, they stoked fear in the community and made it even harder for victims in the future to be taken seriously. I would have sympathy if they would have kept a low profile and let this play out.

You and your arrogance also have the benefit of being an armchair quarterback.
You're not emotionally involved (and exhausted). You didn't go through 3 long days of no sleep, not knowing where you child was. You have no idea.

Hindsight is 50/50, and you have no idea how you'd react in the same situation.
You couldn't know, and if you say you do, you're lying.
This situation is completely unrelatable.

I imagine they were being advised of what to do/say by family, friends, other influences, etc and they followed someone's lead.

These aren't professional scam artists, they're people who believed that their daughter was missing and may not see her ever again, and when they find out she was lying, they probably didn't know how to proceed from there.

From what I read, the show was booked long before she came home .. do you think they were gonna let them back out without a fight?? Shows like "Today" (who are in DAILY ratings wars with other morning shows) put an immense amount of pressure on these types of families, and make promises they usually don't keep.

It's a situation that her parents weren't mentally prepared for -- they deserve our grace, not your never ending judgements.

They raised her. They have an idea of what she's capable of or at least know more of her history that this didn't come out of left field. Probably some permissive parenting is what led to this situation in the first place. Hopefully this is the wake up call the entire family needs in order to get help or open their eyes.

If you don't think good parents even wind up with kids who are messed up...you have not lived very long.

+1 so true. Sometimes good parenting cannot overcome one's genetic makeup.

Does being a good parent mean you can’t admit your child’s mistakes and shortcomings? Why is the assumption the parents are good? What do we know about Carlee and her upbringing? Seems like there are some issues in the household.

There's a video on her Instagram of her parents surprising her at her high school graduation, like literally at the ceremony, with what looks to be a BMW. https://www.instagram.com/p/29C4SXyy5v/

That screams indulgent parenting.

Probably another case of affluenza.

But based upon her prior social media presence, she was not exactly raised to a high standard.

Material goods are not what solid parenting is all about.

I hate that we are attacking her parents for her actions. I really hope that none of your children ever do anything this stupid.

If they do, I will hold them accountable. I won't go on national TV and support their lies

THANK YOU.

I feel strongly that if she were an average middle or lower class kid, that would happen.

Are you kidding? This thread and Twitter and Reddit have scrutinized every aspect of her life and said the worst possible things about her. Celebrities talk about negative attention and how hard it is to cope, and this 100x. Several people on this thread have suggested dressing up as her for Halloween. Her parents have been vilified, mocked, and demeaned. That ship has unfortunately sailed. Thanks to the court of public opinion she will be branded a loser, fraud, liar, lunatic, and [insert other negative adjectives here].

She did this to herself. Boo hoo.

What I'm getting from these events is that this is a person with mental health issues, who perhaps fantasized about an escape from her life, then bad things happened, and she may have been assaulted. Which would explain why the police is being very sensitive.

I refuse to judge, because there is a lot of mental illness in the world, and I don't think it's right to criticize without knowing the person.

No. Bad things did not "happen". She did bad things on purpose. There is no evidence that she was assaulted; she made it up. There is also no evidence that she is mentally ill. Mental illness is not a catchall excuse for bad behavior.

Thank you for saying this. I get so tired of people calling all bad behavior a mental illness. Like WTF, no it’s not. Some people are not mentally ill and just enjoy doing horrible things to others.

Hoover police at the police conference stated that they have other internet searches from CR that leads them to be understand her mental state but out of the privacy of her family, they will not be releasing those at this time. Umm that means she has a mental illness.

“Umm,” no, it doesn’t. Search histories indicative of a poor mental state emphatically DO NOT equal mental illness.

It doesn't. But your interpretation means you have a mental illness

If that were the case, I would empathize, but CR is a spoiled narcissist who did this for the attention of her ex-bf and others. The police are being sensitive to give her the opportunity to come forward, but she is instead on vacation and fighting with people on social media.

Wait fighting with people on social media?? Links please!

Her Facebook and Instagram are still public. I'm not on either but I have seen lots of screenshots.

Screenshots of?

Screenshots of her arguing with people, posting that she's done nothing wrong, and hashtagging herself on everything.

Wow. That says a lot. Where is she on vacation? Seems like she needs some kind of inpatient treatment.

She's not on vacation. She's in Atlanta to get an abortion. She has a 17 year old baby daddy

I feel like this is seeming more and more plausible.

What is the source of the abortion idea?

That might explain why the police are hanging back.

If it is true, she is a great example of someone who is NOT ready to have a baby.

I don’t know. But many of the crazy stories/theories/ideas out there turned out to be true. I feel like there may be family/friends leaking this stuff.

Correct. She has a history of outrageous behavior but this is her first time doing something this extreme. Some people close to her are fed up and leaking information

Go on Facebook and see for yourself. I can't link to anything; I don't have Facebook. But I have seen the screenshots.

I have Facebook and I can’t even find her personal account. Just post the screenshots.

She is not having an abortion.
Her boyfriend left her or cheated on her with a stripper. This whole thing was about getting his attention. The google searches that the police were referring to are sexual in nature.
CR is not a victim of anything, not mentally ill beyond possibly having NPD or BPD, and was not desperate for anything but attention.
All of this is being divulged by people who know her.

Her tweets just before she disappeared indicate she was not in a good head space and, yes, it was about the BF.
