I've heard my grandma, and my mom say things like that. I think it's because they are women with daughters. All women with daughters think there girls are going to be raped. That's why my mom gets all freaked out if I go out with just guys, even if they're all my friends.

Right, but when some midwest (blond, if I remember right) girl is in a foreign country, and is last seen drunk (also, if I remember right...) getting into a car, alone, with a bunch of foreign men... I mean I´m sorry, but rape is almost automatic. In America, in Aruba, in wherever. As far as the drugged and sold, I wouldn´t quite jump that far, but I´ve basically assumed that she was raped and then either killed or just left somewhere out in nowheresville, possibly in really bad shape. As much as I hate it, it´s true that foreigners will be targetted for crimes in most countries. Especially if you basically ask for it.

She leaped to this conclusion as soon as she heard the girl had disappeared, before any details whatsoever came up.

Not that rape isn't a strong possibility, but assuming it's the only possibility, and wanting everyone suspected hanged because of it, doesn't really help anything.

I don't wonder, I just frown, shake my head and resign myself to knowing that the "system" will never be the ideal that it's supposed to.

heehee..... Grandma is funny... That reminds me of the time I was like, 9, and grandpa was babbling to mom about a girl getting kidnapped, and it was this long creepy story he heard on the news, and then he sent me to the store all by myself...
