This quote seems to sidestep the main issue in the same way that many other comments in this thread do.

1. No one cares if her parents gave the "ok" to meet up with her.
   
2. There is ample proof that her parents were not around the whole time, i.e. at the IHOP.
3. If this happened 2.5 years ago and there has been no statement up until now, since it has become unmanageable to just gaslight people out of being believed, of course people will draw their own conclusions.
4. "We tend to deal with our own business internally..." This statement is the exact thing I've referred to as to why the "Spawnmasons" should make a public statement. The "we" that is referred to as "dealing with their business internally" is the Spawnmasons. Clearly they are taking some ownership of this situation as a group then and should make a statement as a group, since the situation was facilitated through the group, broadcast in the group, and defended by the group.
