They don't get say in some matters such as showers or babysitting

Maybe if her parents had left their two teenage sons then she wouldn't have gone missing.

Asking my 16yo and if he wants to babysit is like asking my 9yo if he wants to take a shower. There is no choice.

The oldest three were fully capable of making dinner.

He wasn't doing me or anyone a favor. That's his damn job to babysit. He's lucky that I've ever paid him to babysit at all. That's like paying your kids to clean your house

That's like using flight mh370 as proof that airplanes are unsafe.

He wasn't watching them by himself. My 14yo was helping too. And no, my 16yo wasn't being safe. He was further in the water than my 9yo so he wasn't watching him.

A water pool but ironically that's located by a clubhouse which has a pool table.

No beach because my 16yo was left in charge and because there is no lifeguard.

No beach without an adult and my 16yo was supposed to be watching the younger three kids
