If you don't draw yours, I won't draw mine. A police officer, working in the small town that he lives in, focusing on family and shooting and coffee, and occasionally putting some people in jail.
...that if your boyfriend, or even a voice representing itself to be God, tells you that you have to murder your family, the best thing to do is to dump him, and move on.

I think that there's bound to be a way to serve myself, serve my community, and not take freedom away from good people.

That's also why I never interfered in the ABG's lovelife. Not that I was afraid of being murdered in my bed, but that kinda stuff always drives the couple closer together.
This girl was headed down that path long before she she met Mr.Wrong, Matt. He simply adjusted the timetable. I don't think a boy/man can make a daughter turn against her fam. I think that behavior has to be lurking inside the girl already.
JMHO
Still, it's something that needs to be said. Sometimes tragedies are like those old trains (shudder), which had an emergency brake cable running down the passenger compartment. If just one person will yank on the damn thing, we can get it shut down. And occasionally we need to just say obvious things.

"It's NEVER okay to get into the car with a drunk driver."
"It's NEVER okay to murder your family over a love interest."
I agree with hollyb...there was something very wrong with that girl to even *consider* doing something like this. Run away, elope, whatever, that I can understand. But to murder your own family?? How does one possibly come to the conclusion that that would be a good course of action?
I'll take "Crimes From Which There Is No Rehabilitation" for $500, Alex.
I wonder what Dr. Helen's take on this is? Have you read her stuff on Kids Who Kill? I have her book The Scarred Heart; it's fascinating stuff.
