[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did the friends leave the DR? What day?[/quote] No one knows. Because no one asked and no one told. But like every US college week long spring break, assume they left soon after they last saw Sudiksha (Thursday). [/quote] So she disappeared on Thursday and they just flew off on Friday or Saturday :shock: :shock: ?[/quote] What would you do if your kid was one of the friends?[/quote] “friends” I’d hang my head in shame, wondering where did I go wrong, to raise a girl who failed to learn every safety lesson I ever tried to teach. [/quote] Two things can happen at the same time, you can do all of the self shaming and want to kill your kid for not listening to you, while also getting the kid out of a third world country. Who knows, maybe the DR police hate Indian women and the Ribe family slipped them $10k and now your kid is at fault. Why stick around to see how it plays out?[/quote] The whole group of friends were Indian women?[/quote] Yes[/quote] OK, the unhinged Indian lady rants make a lot more sense now. They apparently checked out and flew home within a day of their friend disappearing. [/quote] It’s easy to assume the worst when we don’t have all the details, but we should be cautious before placing blame on the friends or making generalizations. We don’t know the exact timeline or circumstances of when they left the DR, and without that information, it’s hard to make any definitive conclusions. This is an incredibly tragic situation, and we should focus on supporting efforts to find Sudiksha and bring clarity to what happened.[/quote] yes, we should be respectful and not rush to judgment except that we don't know that these girls actually consumed alcohol at the bar for hours, sure it was ok to leave their friend at the beach, off to the day trip and off the island without her and that hulking bruiser definitely spiked her drink, killed her and disposed of her body, may he rot in hell. Please don't assume the worst, let's support these young people.[/quote] Oh, absolutely! Let's keep it all in perspective. Who needs facts or evidence when we can just fill in the blanks with whatever makes us feel most comfortable? I mean, it’s totally reasonable to assume that leaving a friend behind on a beach after hours of drinking and then hopping on a day trip without her is just standard friendship behavior. And as for the hulking bruiser – clearly, he’s the only logical explanation here. Who needs a thoughtful investigation when we can jump straight to conclusions? Let's definitely focus on supporting these young people – especially the ones who might need a refresher on how to be responsible.[/quote]
