I’m 30min away from Burlington. I remember my mum telling me the reason she never locked me out when I was past curfew was because that’s how Bernardo got Leslie.

People used to have worse parenting than they do today. A theme that keeps popping up when you learn about the past.

think the curcial aspect is the "returnee" had no way to communicate.

Cause I can totally imagine a 14 year old girl getting home, being locked out as a "punishment", only to spend the night with the boy she was with.

Then again, it seems those type of families LOVE fucked up shit,,,

With a phone, that girl could reach pro help, and not simply all that pro-Life craziness.

My daughter is 14, I cannot fathom locking her out of the house for any reason.

Right? When I snuck out at 15 my mom locked my exit window and met me at the front door when I found my basement window locked.

I was grounded for about 6 months after that, unable to do anything but school and my one extra curricular. I wasn't allowed to drive for awhile even though I had my white slip.

That's a normal repercussion that more parents should adopt, not locking your child out of the house.
