| Tragic outcome for a child with her future ahead of her. |
Not many people have their future behind them. |
|
as sorry as I am for her and her family, I am really glad that
1) it was not an Elizabeth Smart situation, and 2) the family has closure and doesn't have to worry anymore, just grieve. |
| Don’t drink and drive folks. |
Damn |
| I think they found her and her car underwater. Sad situation. |
I think so, too, especially since someone already linked to a news article saying that. |
This is an absurd story, shes not found shes dead. They make it seem like she was living under the sea like ariel. horrible reporting
|
It is not reporting, it is PR for the organization that FOUND her body. |
But this is the prevailing DCUM attitude whenever a parent asks for help to help their kid with big life decisions. It's disgusting. |
And don't condone underage drinking. Which happens in the DMV often. But not everyone does it/allows it. And people who do have a MUCH higher chance of losing their child. |
And in fact, sadly, that appears to be what happened. RIP. |
PP here and I agree. I also see it with my kids’ friends’ parents. Who look on the surface like “good parents.” Good neighborhood, activities, parents drive them around, etc. But have absolutely no rules or restrictions starting very young - as early as like 4th grade. It’s been shocking and it often goes off the rails in high school. If it doesn’t, it’s because the kid is self-directed, no thanks to the parents. |

Here is a link to the video of a live conference Adventures With Purpose gave earlier. It's raw footage but you can see the license plate number on the car under water. They called law enforcement and Kiely's family immediately and said that Kiely's dad and grandfather were on site in minutes.
These guys are amazing. They found her car within an hour of starting their search of the lake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF0QFhv2Cu0 |
Our government could fund such efforts in every state, but we as a society lack the political will. So, you have to hope that your loved ones' "case" moves these volunteers. It should not work like that. |
