Failing Yourself

One last post on my trip from a week ago.

The first day of the cruise, you know everyone has to explore!
The ship was about two football fields long and 15 floors high!

While in line, waiting to board, I had observed a young teen girl whom seemed "odd".
And odd always draws my attention.

She was with her older  sister, whom has the problem so many young people seem to have.  I am sorry but with this amnesia, I have no idea what it is and it is common enough and blamed on vaccines, I think.

So, now I am placing younger girl at a solid 12 or 13, sister no more than 15.
And though my heart remains burdened for teens, I have nothing but prayer to offer.

I observed her often everyday I was out and about on the ship.
She seemed to never leave the ship.
Could always be found in high traffic areas.
Definitely was "displaying" herself!
But the last thing I am going to do is have a talk with her!

All week long this was her behavior.
I had to wonder where were her parents!
If she even had any, thinking of the young girl in Colorado last month!
And older sister was missing until Friday!

As I mentioned, her behavior was more problematic as the week continued.
She dressed more and more provocatively.
She dressed more and more like a hooker.
And from what I observed, she was pretty much shunned by everyone.

Oh, make no mistake, there were "professionals" on board.
They were hard to miss as they flaunted themselves about.
shudder!

So Thursday comes.
I am sicker than a dog and trying to eat watermelon.
.In walks her entire family.
The parents were residents of the casino and bars from my observations.
The girl was dressed "normal", but not for her, and with huge sunglasses!

Her parents left without a word, matched the meal well.
The girl lost it shortly after this.
Such heartbreaking sobs!
And her sister got up and walked around and just held her.
I was touch be such a display of love!

Yeah, it seems someone had taken her up on her offer.
And now, she is realizing part of the cost of what she has done ...
Innocence crushed by scum sucking swine and negligent parents.
I prayed for a witness to come into her life.
