Dear Lord, you know who did this awful thing to this girl, and we ask you to deal with it as you see fit!!!

I have been just sick over this young girl and her disappearance during her highschool trip to Aruba.  My heart aches for her parents and other loved ones left behind.  I don't knwo who for sure is guilty, but I know Jaron admited to it, and if he did do it I hope he will be punished.  I don't wish him death, but punishment for any wrong he did. 

My biggest concern in this and I have never heard this brought up on any TV shows I have seen on the subject, is: Why would a hughschool decide to take the teenagers to a country in which the drinking age is 18???? Why would any parent actually agree to this???  I guess I am a little old fashioned and I am in agreement with the no drinking till 21 rule in our country.

I continue to pray for the Holloway family.  They have dealt with so much over the past few years loosing their beautiful daughter, and dealing with all the legal junk and police and now the admission from Juron of the death and such now. 

Just a few thoughts.  If your children were in public school, would you let them go on a senior trip to a country whose drinking age was 18??? I know the children were supervised some of the time, but obviously not all the time.  I am afraid my daughter would not be going unless I was one of the chaperones myself.  It would be different if it were in the United States, but in a foreign country...I would have to be there for my child to go on such a trip.

What are your thoughts?????
