FWIW, I wanted to toss in my :twocents: for he evening.
I agree with a lot of what's been said about the family. We can't seem to pin down the timeline when Grandma last saw the girls. We don't have a clear & concise description of what the girls were wearing on Friday. How late was Lyric out when the police were called to help find her before? If my kid had done that they would have lost priveleges, bikes, etc, etc.
I get that these parents didn't deal with their children the way you or I might do. Maybe they should have paid closer attention to the clocks and the clothing they wore. It doesn't make them bad parents or bad people. I feel sure they love these girls and want them home. Maybe we'll find out someone known to the girls is responsible for them missing but for now, we don't know. I'm frustrated, angry and heartsick over this whole situation. And frankly, I'm glad my children are adults now or I'm not sure I could let them out of my sight after all I've seen & read the last few years.
I will never forget Jonathan Foster, the little boy who went missing on Christmas Eve. The parents seemed sketchy. It was easy to assume the stepfather was somehow responsible. In the end, it was Mona Nelson, a woman who Jonathan barely knew, who was responsible for his horrific death.
I have no idea what has happened to these girls. I just hope we can keep our focus on finding them rather than finding fault with the family.
I mean no offense to anyone. I'm sorry if I went off-topic.
Praying for Elizabeth & Lyric. I'm keeping my porch light on until they get home.
