When police stopped the truck, they found rope, several knives and knife blades, a hatchet, a box of condoms and sex toys, as well as a box of chocolates and a diamond ring. The back of the truck had been outfitted with a makeshift bed.
Wow...only the sickest of the sick would actually go about raping kids. It's one thing to think it or have a fantasy but doing it is off the charts. We need to just shoot these people on the spot.
I wonder what's worse, the fact that it happened or the fact some of you think it's funny...Not trying to condemn, but let's face facts, there is nothing to laugh about here.
Tell me how an autistic girl plays Wow and then how she doesn't see this coming then maybe I won't find it so funny... I mean, serious if she's autistic and can play Wow then she must know she's giving out her location. She brought it on herself...

16 isn't really all that bad. I mean, rape is bad, but raping a 16 year old isn't really any worse than raping a 26 year old.

I'd agree with you except this particular 16 year old is mentally impaired, so it's even worse.

Autistic people aren't necessarily stupid. On the other hand, WoW doesn't require much brain activity to play. If you can navigate windows, you can play WoW.

So let me see if I follow, an adult MANIPULATES a naive, mentally disabled teenage into running away, and this is her fault. Yeah, my mistake, I typically hold the adult pedophile responsible. Perhaps date rape victims bring it on themselves for dressing too promiscuously.
It's this kind of mentality that keeps rape victims from coming forward, that some how it's all their fault.

: shrugs: Takes two to tango... You give out your personal info of where you live to strangers all the time? I never said it was her fault, but it seems fairly obvious she had a part in it. How else is a loser like that going to meet, he's certainly not smart enough to hack and find her address...

if you would've ing googled it like I suggested, you might have found that autistic people can be smart (or smart enough to play WoW), but are often not socially intelligent.
as a mildly autistic person myself, I find this whole thread offensive.
I did research autistic... How is that different to someone that's stupid, but can still play a game?
Help me understand then? Also, tell me... if you're mildly autistic would you give your info of where you live to a stranger you met online much less in a game online...?

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but honestly, just like the 13 yr old who hung herself because of something some 'mean boy'(which turned out to be the mom of her one supposed 'friend' trying to snoop on her), I HAVE to ask this.
Where the are the parents of these kids? I mean, the 13 yr old who hung herself wasn't even old enough to post on MySpace when she first made her profile and whatever, since I believe the minimum age is 14 to post on there.
I mean, I don't blame the victims in EITHER of these cases, I blame the absentee parents.

It really has nothing to do with intelligence.

Why should someone flame you for this comment? It's the bleeding truth of the matter.
Even if autism were no hindrance to the girl's decision-making relative to that of other 16 year olds, which is something I would contest, she's a 16 year old girl, and according to the law, a child. Just because she apparently gave out her information and met a stranger willingly doesn't mean that there should be consent acknowledged -- she's not old enough to give her consent until she's 18 years old. An adult, any adult, is held responsible by society by law to respect and protect the sanctity of a child's sexuality by not engaging in sexual activity with minors. The fact that the girl is autistic certainly makes this case more reprehensible but it's ultimately a moot point.
Even though the pedophile is at fault, it's just as much the parent's fault for not ing watching what their child does. This will happen over and over because parents would rather blame someone or something else instead of learn from it. I don't speak for every case when I say that though.
