Ummm Medicine Hat is in Alberta. And I should know because it is only hour from the where I live.

As for where the parents were if you had been keeping up with the trial and the info, as I have every day on teh news and in the papers, the parents were doing things to try and stop the girl from seeing him. They didn't agree with it one bit. They grounded her, took away privliges and so on. So they were doing things to stop it. The last thing I would do here is blame the victims(the parents and son). If anyone knows anything about teens is you can't always completely control everyone they see or everything they do. You can try but a child of that age is not going to be watched 24/7 and can't be. She did go to school and so on where the parents couldn't watch what she was doing.

The parents were trying to fix the problem, from what I read, so the last people I would blame is them.
