I am furious with the attention this is getting, especially when its 90% speculation. Leave it alone. She is home and safe. Nobody knows what happened, and frankly its nobody's business. To guess and come up with wrong issues that start rumurs, is by far the most tasteless thing anyone can do. Our media in this country, and others, thrive on this. The only reason we all know details about the Smart family, at all, is becouse they have money. I dont blame them for that, but that is why. If you guys remember, a little girl in my town was abducted a month ago, and is still missing. Do you know details about her?
Would you like to speculate on the issues there? We know about 5% of the true Smart story, I would say. About as much as you all know about Sofia, the girl in my town, I would compare. Dont listen to everything you here on TV and radio, please. Its only part of the story, and to speculate on part of the story, well...I have said enough.
Please, no offence to anyone specific here, just annoyed, sorry...

Thank you, LK!! You put into words exactly what I was thinking. Unless you're a member of the Smart family, you have NO IDEA what her homecoming's been like. How cruel for people to speculate what she's been through or is currently going through. How dare anyone criticize her given that they don't know what she was threatened with or had done to her during the last 9 months. Let us all just be grateful that she was found alive and let us hope that she gets the support and counceliing that she will surely need.
Try to live by the old adage: Don't judge someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes.
We only know what the Smart's let the media know and then see it after the media puts their spin on it. Both provides a skewed version of the truth.
