Something a bit clinical about that woman. IMHO. Typical sneery six-month tourist with a credit card and a flight ticket tucked in her back pocket. False sense of security, completely oblivious to the fact that she's not in her Safe European Home. Thinks she knows the place. Thinks it's 'cool' to leave her blonde fifteen year old in the care of a pony-tailed local lad ten years her elder.
She FAILED that girl. Hope they throw the book at her.

Goa mother faces 'neglect' probe
Scarlett was last seen alive at a beach bar
The mother of a British girl found dead on a beach in Goa has said police may question her about possible negligence.
Fiona MacKeown left her daughter Scarlett Keeling, 15, in Goa while she travelled to another part of India.
The family's lawyer accused the Indian authorities of trying to shift blame and said Scarlett had been left in the care of two local women.
Mrs Keeling told the BBC: "I don't think I was negligent. I just think I was naive."
Indian police originally insisted that Scarlett had drowned but a man has now been charged with her rape.
'Out of proportion'
The superintendent of police, Bosco George, in Goa, told the BBC "we will have to question the mother" but they would not say in connection with what.
He also said they have made no formal or informal request to ask her to come for questioning.
JP Singh, chief secretary to the government of Goa, told the BBC the case had been blown out of proportion.
He said the coverage of the case had overlooked basic facts including that the 15-year-old had been left alone and had a history of drug abuse.
Indian police have faced severe criticism over their handling of the case.
Goa's Tourism Minister Francisco X Pacheco accused officers of deliberately trying to cover up Miss Keeling's murder.
Local man Samson D'Souza, 29, appeared in court on Monday charged with her rape but not with murder.
She FAILED that girl. Hope they throw the book at her.
