Reckon he realises? (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/3067517.stm)

She definately doesn't look like a 19 year-old Uni student.  I would think that if he took her out of the country he is screwed.

Well that was a charming thing to say MT. I guess if your 12 year old child was ugly, you wouldn't care if she ran off with a 30 year old man.

I'd be grateful to him for getting her out of the house.

Well she is *UGLY*.

I find it humorous that

a.) You get tips for parents whose kids surf the 'net - whoopee watch your kids with your own eyes guys and

b.) in a post 9-11 world, with "bolstered" airport security, a 12 year old can simply board a plane and fly away with noone knowing.

I conclude that

a.) the parents are total idiots;

b.) all the increased security will only leave more people to blame when the next scyscraper goes *BOOM*

Just read some of this...the first thing I saw was of a Marine meeting a 12year old...so my response was different when I dug deeper and see that he thought she was 19.

Boy, ain't he in a fine mess now.

 Eagler, why do you hate England?    


;)

 But honestly. Don't you think the exemplary and archangelic US marine was simply performing his sacrificial patriotic duty for the over all good of the homeland? A selfless act that would make John Wayne, Mom and various makers of apple pies damn proud?

Why would this be big news again dowding?

A girl lies about her age and a horney guy is more than willing to believe her.

I had a friend who was dating a 19 year old girl.  We went on a double date to the drive in and were coming back on base late and the guard had to check everyone's ID.  I was driving and he looked at me and said "Did you know she is 14" (pointing to the friends girlfriend)... then waived us on.  It wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't tell him she was pregnant later that night.

There's tons o reasons crap like that happens.  For someone to come to conclusions on it with such little information tends to indicate they'd like to believe a certain way vs them wanting to know what actually happened.

"Why would this be big news again dowding? "

  I bet if a British Marine absconded with a sweet, young 12 year old child from Connecticut or New Jersey it would be even BIGGER news.  Actually I bet many of people would be hollering for a full frontal nuclear attack on the British Isles in retaliation.

 I can see CNN now....  "Countdown to Attack up the Thames" "Confrontation with the Redcoats" and "Bush vs the Royal MUM" ....

Sure it would be.  I'm sure this has never happened in the past because it surely would have made the news... right?

I just thought it was a bit weird. I mean surely you'd realise she was 12?

At least make an attempt not to be a salamander, Eagler. I think if I was going to slam the US military (of which the guy is no longer a part, by the way), I wouldn't be looking at a possible internet abduction case.

The latest news is that she flew from Paris to Liverpool, England alone, so the guy looks like he did realise afterall. Although he met her in Manchester, England before heading to France...

You're talking like you're young dowding.  As you get older, it does get more difficult to distinguish age.  Some look like kids... others don't.  I imagine that gent eventually stumbled on something that clearly indicated her age (you can hide it for a bit... but not for long).

Of course, its nice to see people around the world assume the worst.

Y' know, I have a hard time convincing Americans that the British dental system isn't as bad as they make out - and then this picture pops up on the news.

She's what my yank producer calls a 'hand grenade' - the girl you hope your buddy jumps on for the good of everybody else.

He married her then found out the kid wasn't his.  They instantly put the child up for adoption after it was born and he treated her like **** the rest of the time I knew him.

Sad thing is... this isn't an unusual story in the military.

The proposed law will make it illegal for adults to cultivate sexual contacts with children under 16.

The guy has been arrested in Germany. The girl is in England.

Any activity with a girl under 16 is illegal - but talking to one on the net as a 'grooming' process isn't. Apparently, the law currently waits for a crime to occur, whereas the changes will be pre-emptive.

Most of you guys that were in the military can vouch, there is some sick stuff that goes on overseas.  especially in the 3rd world countries.

Rhur Rhoo, Raggy (to quote Scooby Doo)

Latest news indicates he *knew* she was 12....

Police sources said images of child pornography (search) were discovered on Studabaker's computer during investigations into the missing pair. The sources also said they had evidence, again taken from Studabaker's computer, that the ex-Marine knew that Shevaun was 12, not 18 or 19, as he had claimed to relatives.
