Bittersweet Sixteen


This episode frustrated me, because of the people's incredibly bad judgment.
Once the grandmother knows she has been talking to a 30 year old man, she doesn't even ground her from the phone. Nothing!! Just a little lecture. That would never have flown with my parents. It would be like a month of no phone.
And then she sends naughty pics to a guy she has never even met.
I am not naive, I know teens do this (and people all ages). But is it typical to do so when you haven't even met the person.
That was strange to me. Maybe I am just old- Lol.
No way this grandmother should have been raising these kids. She was not in charge and it wasn't her responsibility to begin with.
And let's be honest, she couldn't have done much better the first time around, since both their parents were losers (and one has to be her child).
The brother seemed to be the only one with a lick of sense.
And not blaming the victim. This girl did not deserve this sad fate. But sadly with her lack of parenting and decision making skills, something bad was probably coming. But terrible that it had to be this awful.
She deserved so much better! She wasn't taught well, seemed desperate for attention and adults in her life truly failed her.
Poor Girl. What a tragedy!
DVR cut off the very end,but hope that creepy pervert got sentenced to death. And u don't say that often.

I felt soo bad for her Brother! You could tell they really cared for one another. Sadly I think the attention was what she was craving and that is why she kept going further and further to satisfy the guy. When you feel so unloved you can become desperate. Tragic really.

CDJunkee, I just watched this episode and I felt so bad for the Seth, the girl's brother. You could tell he really loved his sister. I wanted to give him a big hug.

I missed what happened. She was texting the 30 yr old sex offender. Did he have her come outside to go with him?

reply

What happened was she met him and was put off by his age and left from his Truck. He texts her back threatening to send pics to all her Friends. She agrees to meeting him again. He took kidnapped her, raped, and killed her. I can't remember the exact details but it wasn't pretty.


~Keep on Trucking!~

Wow, ok. Sad...

I can't believe Angela's funeral was open casket. I guess open casket is the norm in her religion. It isn't in mine. But there must be some circumstances that would dictate a closed casket. And being murdered and buried in a shallow grave for six days would be one of those circumstances.

Just finished watching this. People are monsters.
