Hi De.
Here is why they likely did not.
They were TAUGHT BY EXAMPLE of those that they had no choice or say in who raised them. Kids observe a whole lot more than adults think. They think if they see someone else do something it is normal and alright.
That is my premise and reason for that statement.
Still, a very sad day that athe lives of three teenagers were ended so quickly. I do not uphold what they were trying to do or say they were innocent.
It's just tragic that a life is so suddenly taken and gone...
