The way her father was describing her, I got an impression that he, as a parent felt need to "supervise" her all the time. What was the reason for that? She is 17 years old girl, and by that time most of the teenagers are capable of being independent, even in new surroundings. I was about her age when I went to USA for one month high school student exchange, from former Yugoslavia, with limited knowledge of English ( the one that you learn in school ), all by myself, and I was allowed to go places alone. It is really hard to get lost in the big city, even if you do not know the language very well, so I am not sure what Mariam's father meant when he said that she was [I]supervised all the time.[/I] I can think of some reasons why a parent would want more supervision for the child. One example is if the child is on autistic spectrum, high functioning (which can mean that the child is very good in school. academically, and structured setting, but not very much street smart and usually very naive). If that is the case, I would say then the parent has a valid reason to give more support and supervision to the child. Maybe there are some other cases, if the child was a drug addict, for example. Again, I am just wondering: was Mariam capable of leaving by herself because she was not happy with how things were going (as her brother said in one of his appearances)? If she was: where did she go? Or better to say: put yourself in her shoes and imagine you are a teenager, with no money, no IDs, no friends, limited knowledge of the town? Probably to a place where you've been before? Just thinking: if she decided not to go to school that day, and went somewhere else, was it possible that she met some misfortune not in front of FHCI, or even entire neighborhood of Forest Hill, but somewhere else. But where?
I am going over previous posts and media appearances by family, and I realized that one of the very important questions that, I guess, LE needs to answer is whether Mariam was capable of leaving on her own. There must be a way to analyze someone's personality in that regard. I guess they have psychologists who are able to develop profiles.The way her father was describing her, I got an impression that he, as a parent felt need to "supervise" her all the time.
