Daughter Meets Palestinian on MySpace
On FoxNews tonight, a mother and sister were cying crocodile tears because a family member, who is an “honor student” fled home to be with a Palestinian Muslim whom she met on MySpace.
The Michigan “Honor Student” applied for a passport so she could supposedly go to Canada with her friends. Never mind that you only need a drivers license to travel between Canada and the USA. Face it, this family is not smart.
From ABCNews Here:
A 16-year-old honor student from Michigan tricked her parents into getting her a passport and then flew off to the Mideast to be with a West Bank man she met on MySpace.com, authorities say.
U.S. officials in Jordan persuaded her to turn around and go home before she reached the West Bank. She was on her way home Friday.
Katherine R. Lester is a straight-A student and student council member, her father said. “She’s a good girl. Never had a problem with her,” Terry Lester said.
Katherine disappeared Monday after talking her family into getting her a passport by saying she was going to Canada with friends, sheriff’s officials said. She apparently planned to visit a man whose MySpace account describes him as a 25-year-old from Jericho, Undersheriff James Jashinske said.
The FBI traced the teenager to a Wednesday flight from New York’s Kennedy Airport to Tel Aviv, Israel. At a scheduled stop in Amman, Jordan, U.S. officials persuaded her to return home, FBI agent Robert Beeckman said.
Shawn Lester told The Saginaw News that her daughter has “never given me a day’s trouble. ? I just don’t understand with all these new laws protecting America how a 16-year-old kid could get out of the country.” She said her daughter never had a boyfriend and seemed to be content with that.
Listen up, America. The Patriot Act is not designed to babysit your stupid daughters. If you allow your children to use the internet without ANY monitoring or supervision, and then give them a passport that is valid for international travel, then YOU ARE A MORON!
Teenage Girls Lie! Specifically, this girl wanted to meet a Muslim named “Abdullah Psycho” within the West Bank, which means that she has anti-American leanings and beliefs. Is it any wonder that the parents immediately wanted to blame the Federal Government for their daughter trying to leave the country?
Nice. You are right about the drivers license thing, although now adays it might be more strict at the north border.
It’s a shame that we have wasted the FBI resources to track down a girl who should have been a top contender for the darwin award.
You know, it takes a lot of cash to fly international. Where did she get the money? It doesnt mention it anywhere. Don’t you have to have a credit card to book a flight? Who gave her the credit card?
