My friend is kicking herself so hard about well.. let’s just say a well known boyband from the 90’s (Backstreet Boys). One of the members posted on Instagram yesterday and read 3 letters from the BSB pop up in Vegas. One of them happened to be hers but she didn’t take a pic of the letter before sending it out. She really didn’t think her letter was going to be read, considering it said only one fan’s letter would be read on stage. And turned out, the member she wrote to happened to pick hers & read it on IG. Won’t say her name but she did take a pic of the outside of the envelope + also took a pic of other cards she left at the experience that had his name and hers/is very similar to the fan mail she sent him. She feels like there’s no proof, no ones doubting her and she’s not known to be a liar but she’s so upset.

Over the years child abductions have increased.

I'm my parents' only child but they actually trusted me very much. They saw as very advanced for my age. I was never overprotected. They let me cross the streets, walk to the bus stop alone and left home alone for the first time at age 8. Then at age 9, I was already walking home to school and vice versa; 30 minutes away.

Age 10; my friend and I took a public transportation to a different part of our city and mall... far from home and our curfew sometimes got extended to 8 pm. The only time our parents picked us up was after a movie finished late at 11:30 pm.

By age 12, it was my first sleepover at my friend's after a mixed party ended late. Then at age 16, I went to a beach in Cancún, México with friends (4 girls and 2 guys) for a whole week... it was spring break.

Though, nothing bad ever happened to me. But would you say my parents were naive?
