I have been quiet, for me, on the subject of the Hannah Graham case. It creeps me out. I knew all the places mentioned. I knew the places where she was sighted by name. Grady Avenue, 14th Street, Preston Avenue, the Mall. I also wanted to shake her. She did the most foolish thing a young woman can do. She did what we warn all our daughters not to do, from her dress, to her state of inebriation, to talking to strangers.
I fear, regardless of outcome, people wont have that very serious talk with their children. Somehow if we think people are dead, we often don’t say the things that really need to be said, out of some misapplied respect.
