Thanks Mel, I was over at the other neighbour's for a few hours till just now and we're going to get flowers, a card and have some other neighbours sign the card, too. The mother came over to confirm the news and she's in 'police mode' mostly (she's a cop). I was going to post earlier and say how I can't possibly judge how she's dealing with her missing daughter, and I wish I had because now I feel like I'm backpedallling in light of the news. She's coping the way she knows how - her dogs, mainly. Whatever keeps you going. Anyway, I know more but I"m not going to post it. Just to say, however, that when your kids start using the computer and internet you NEED to know more about the technology than they do, or at least nearly as much. Kids CANNOT have unmonitored access to the internet - they have unmoderated conversations and feed each other unedited ideas that are unchecked by a broader social framework that says "actually, that's probably not normal, I need a reality check".
