Beth Holloway Twitty Urges Teens to be Cautious
SOURCE Teenagers and young adults must be responsible for their own safety.
Without a plan to protect themselves they can fall victim to all sorts of crimes.
That’s the message the mother of Natalee Holloway, the Alabama teenager who disappeared during a senior class trip to Aruba last May, urged county sheriffs from across the country on Friday to send to the young people of their communities.
Beth Holloway Twitty was a guest speaker Friday at the mid-winter conference of the National Sheriffs’ Association being held in Palm Desert.
Twitty narrated a slide show as she recounted her daring and determined search for information into her daughter’s disappearance.
Three Aruban teens were taken into custody, but none of them has been charged or investigated, Twitty said.
She added that because of what she called corruption, discrimination and governmental apathy she believes the three men suspected in her daughter’s disappearance will never be questioned by authorities again.
“It’s one thing to be lost in the United States. But it’s another thing entirely to be lost outside this country,” she said, urging those in attendance Friday to boycott Aruba.
