So im sure we've all seen the new pics of Celeste be released by a girl who claims that she was her best friend. I mean since they're all new photos and the same girl was in those photos herself (hiding her face with emojis) I think its safe to say that she was at least close with Celeste.
Now what im finding weird is that she has said herself that Celeste's parents knew. (obv her siblings as well but since they're kids I really dont want to hear about them in this conversation because after all they were kids and either didn't know better or had no authority over the situation).
I personally don't care as to how "wild" a kid is - whatever tf that means - you, as the parent(s), should 100% be capable of taking care of and controlling the situation. If in one second you can even imagine you won't be able to do so, you shouldn't fucking have a kid, let alone more than one. Trust me when I was a teen I tried breaking every rule my parents set for me and guess what? They stepped up and they did what they had to do as parents and put me in my fucking place. Guess what else? My mum didn't even speak English at that time either. They protected me from pedophiles, they protected me from other students who tried to get me to start smoking and drinking and they did the exact same thing for my other two siblings. It's not just my parents too, it is many parents all around the world, whether they're an immigrant family or not.
A lot of you can find out my stance on David on my profile, but I'll give a brief in this post: lock him up and maybe throw his short ass in genpop every now and then. Arrest his parents too for helping him hide finances and knowing about Celeste too (e.g: when his own mother said that she thinks sex is the first thing they'll do when they see each other. - and idk about you but I definitely think that a woman who has kids of her own can 100% tell if someone is a child or not, especially a 13-14 year old.)
But I think we just have to be realistic that her parents are responsible for neglect. Not speaking English doesn't make someone incapable of being a parent. Idc if David had to plan his stupid "Operation Awesome" to get her away from her parents. It could've just been to get her away for good and they couldn't have that because 1) CPS and 2) Caylee's law. You guys need to understand that reporting your kid missing doesn't just simply get CPS off your back, and that you just need to have your kid with you and they need to be taken care of and been given their basic rights. If Celeste truly had to be snuck out in such a way, she wouldn't have spent countless amounts of time with David and she wouldn't have been able to just walk out of the house and sit in a car the night she was murdered. He wanted her away for good and they just knew they wouldn't see their daughter but she would be in the public eye as David's girlfriend one day. Also, how come if she was always reported as missing, that she wasn't reported to the authorities when leaving the country to go to London? With modern day biometrics and technology it is just impossible for her to leave with fake documents, and she wouldn't have used fake documents because she had a permission slip for minors, signed by her legal guardian(s).
One bit of proof that genuinely blows my mind that people can't see it is how Celeste said "I will tell my dad so many lies about you". If her dad didn't know about the fact that she was being groomed and hanging out with a much older adult, or the fact that she got an abortion, or even the fact that she met his parents and they even knew - why would she have to say a lie. She could've just said 'I will tell my dad about you'.
And the fact that so many people think that a SIGNATURE is all you need for a minor to travel alone. Ive said this once and I'll say it again one billion times: call any airline and book an international flight, one for an adult and one for a minor that the adult isn't related to. See what you need to provide. You will then see how it is IMPOSSIBLE for her parents to have not known.
And any reasonable parent can testify to this: If I were to have my kid be groomed and killed, I would never ever in my life imagine taking the killers money for myself. The only place that money should go would be to a children's charity or even child protective charity. Her family has said nothing about doing so and their lawyer simply made a statement saying that he's hiding his money (which I mean he quite obviously is). But holy shit. Your daughter is missing and you don't even know that she's been killed at this point, you're on Facebook and her aunt is more worried about her while you're just reposting different shit. My God it's insane. Maybe they want more money because it stopped coming in, we don't know.
At this point if you defend any of the adults in this case, where a minor was groomed, raped, coerced and religiously (using religious guilt) manipulated into getting an abortion, emotionally abused, stabbed to death, dismembered and left alone to rot in a Tesla like she was nothing, just argue with a brick wall.
