Minnow--just trying to point out the similarities in the two cases, the facts only speak for themselves. If you think the players in the Brawley case acted appropriately, let's hear your FACTS, not spin or quips.
You flash that "dough" in your avatar, but you are only a "kibitzer"--watching from the sidelines while others ante up. Put up or shut up--let's see your hand! No facts? Fold.

I'll take that as "no response"--or "unable to respond". Once again--let's see YOUR facts.

Did anyone see the woman on Good Morning America on Monday who also faked her own abduction back in the 1980's. She was a beauty queen, great student, involved in everything. She said she just needed to get away from everything. It started with her telling people she had been getting obscene phone calls and then she elaborated the story into an abduction. She said she really thought she could just go away for awhile and then come home and tell everyone the man let her go and she was fine and she would be able to jump back into her life. She did end up getting charged with filing false charges. She got something like 20 hours of community service and a $200 fine.

Agreed... but I hope she has a strong support system of friends AND family. She's going to have a lot to deal with sometime in the future. Poor kid. I hope she gets some good professional help.

And how can you be that insensitive, Kitten? As was stated earlier in the forum, there are some mental diseases that make people lose control of their actions and minds - or make them live in a highly altered reality. So while this may have been an attention-seeking trick, it could easily have been a mental illness that manifested itself in an unfortunate and humiliating way. We don't have the facts, so we may never know... I hope she's able to overcome this and get on with life without people continually whispering, "Hey, there's that Audrey girl..."

Mental illness? I don't think so. Her problem was that she was use to being little miss somebody in her small town H.S. popular, smart, cute, she had it all and then it was off to college and she was just another face in the crowd, now she is the little fish in the big pond, not much attention being payed to her, she was a nobody and she couldn't deal with that. There was her problem. this little girl should be taken to court and gave a good wake up call.

Ya, I guess some things don't change with time. Do you remember those from your own high school days. Were you one?
