Have a bad feeling about this huge guy, could be another Natalie Holloway.

Claiming she was not seen out of water and that she was, which is it? If he saw her after the water, where is she?!!![/quote]

Well, her "friends" aren't much better. [/quote]

We need to do a better job teaching kids how to identify who your friends are and how to be [b]better friends[/b]. I feel terrible for this family. Tragic.[/quote]

Who are you to judge that?[/quote]

Well, let's see...They hadn't seen their friend since around 4:00 a.m. and didn't know where she was in a foreign country but thought they'd just go on a day trip?![/quote]

How were they going to reach her if 1. She didn't have her phone on her, 2. Or they tried reaching her but she didn't pick up maybe because they thought she was still sleeping or with that guy? 3. Things werent known at time of them going on a day trip? Didn't read all the reports to know if any of those questions were answered.[/quote]

Was the guy known to them on that trip prior to that night? One of the young woman's friend could have stayed with her tho on the beach (being a better friend). Does anyone actually know what occurred before the friends left to go back to the hotel and her staying on beach? [/quote]

No. Friend's job was to tell her why this is a bad idea and to inform resort desk that she didn't come back at night before going for the scheduled trip. She wasn't required to put herself in danger at night at beach in a foreign country with a drunk male. [/quote]

Kids go to places like DR to be irresponsibly drunk and for casual hook ups. With that implicit understanding, one's friends will not stand in the way of actualizing that goal. 
Sorry, DR is not Disneyland.[/quote]

Exactly. I think a number of posters on this thread did not have traditional American college experiences.[/quote]

Plenty of people on here let their kids go to beach week or have parties where they serve alcohol. A kid is sitting in Arlignton county jail right now after killing his friend from a drunk driving accident whole being so completely hammered and “supervising” a freshman high school party. [/quote]

Most parents DO NOT CONDONE this. I never did. My adult sons are very successful and never felt the need to get wasted. As my son is in medical school this is frowned upon. [/quote]

You don't know everything your children do. I am a very successful female adult, went to an Ivy, got great grades and never caused my parents any trouble. I didn't even drink for most of college. However, I made a ton of stupid naive mistakes in college that could've turned out poorly if things happened differently. [/quote]

Yes, but you are an American.   Sudiksha’s parents are culturally Indian and were raised in India.

[b]In India[/b], good girls (ie - the upper caste / intelligent girl), would never behave in such a fashion.  What would happen if a girl were to behave in this way and word got out?  The whole family could be dishonored by such shameful behavior.  People talk you know.

No.  Sudiksha is a good girl, as father has already stated.[/quote]

If she's such a good girl, what's up with all those selfies of her in tight clothing, or scantily clad or looking to show cleavage?
This girl's parents may be culturally Indian, but she didn't seem to be given that she was engaged in what I consider slatternly American college girl behavior by going to some poor country that has nothing else going for it but notoriety for drunken spring break escapades.
It wasn't like she was in the DR for anthropology studies or looking to help the self-imploding Haitian nation next door.

It's not like middle class or upper middle class girls in India, especially in major metros these days aren't hooking up with random guys either. Some Indian parents have this weird thing about culturally good values like it is the 1960's. They have no clue their daughters go to college and they hook up, then come home and pretend to be the good girl that mom and dad wants. That's not the fault of their daughters but of the parents and their inability to get more open minded. She behaved like an American girl on spring break, but made some poor choices and for whatever reasons didn't keep her phone with her, and the likely reason is to avoid being tracked by controlling parents. Allow her some freedom and also teach her how to use safety protocols instead of telling her not to do it what they should've done. But anyway, I am not going to sit here and victim blame the parents too much since they are already going through hell. [/quote]
