Met the young man on line. Tied up, gaged, beaten and raped. It was supposed to be a romantic date.

Distinctly I have told my kids that they NEVER meet with or have any other contact with someone on line. Kids are in high school and have also discussed various ways to ensure safety with various situations especially to not be alone in new situations.

Priceless French Crown Jewels stolen by chainsaw carrying robbers. Dropped crown on way out. Escaped on electric scooters. Security guards kept museum visitors back so they wouldn’t be injured.

Mona Lisa wasn’t the world’s most famous painting until it was stolen from the Louvre.

Our daughter called us while she was standing in line yesterday at the Louvre.. Wanted to know if there was something she should be worrying about when all the police showed up. She was eventually told the museum was closed for the day.
