[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story is so sad. I feel like girls especially have it drilled in their head to look out for their friends and yet this sort of thing happens. I wonder if she had known the boy for a few days so had an illusion of safety and so did her friends.   [/quote]

I really don't like blaming the friends. She clearly wanted to stay behind with him. It was after 5am and the friends wanted to go to bed at last. If she didn't want to go with them, please tell me specifically what they should have done.[/quote]

[b]My understanding is they took her phone so find my phone would show her in the hotel room. They were doing what she wanted.[/b] [/quote]

Is this understanding from anything official or simply the game of telephone (pun intended) being played in this thread? [/quote]

Nothing official. More likely she didn't want her phone to get wet or sandy, or it was dying.[/quote]

Right. We just know she asked her friends to take it, several possible reasons why.[/quote]
Im new to the phone theories. I assumed it was on the beach chair. So the girls have it? That’s unfortunate if true. [/quote]

If you have an older teenage child, you might be aware that they DO NOT like being tracked by their parents. Some have no choice, the parents are controlling. If the parents are not, some kids usually elect to turn off location sharing because, surprise, they like privacy. In this case, if there is controlling parent and [b]she wanted to fool them[/b] into thinking she was with her friends whose parents might be in contact with her parents, she gives friends the phone to throw them off the trail of her hormonal intentions.

Haven't you seen posts from mid-life adults who's 80 year old mother will call because middle aged child was at a doctor's office 3000 miles away and pesters about middle aged child's reasons for being at doctor's office?[/quote]

Ah, so she was thinking clearly enough until that point in the night/morning? [/quote]

This probably wasn't the first time she tried to throw her stalker parents off her trail.[/quote]

How do you know they were "stalker parents." Is this what her friends or others who know them reported? [/quote]

Some judgy people assume other parents are helicopter or “stalker,” just because they use Life360 or AirTags.[/quote]
She left the phone with friends. Unfortunately. [/quote]
