He asked for her phone #. For what purpose does a grown man have to ask a 15 or 16 yr old girl to be their "friend" and for their phone #?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Does it matter if he's 21 or 40? She's 15!!! It would be a little less creepy if he were say 17, but I highly doubt that is the case.]]>Oct 9th 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 8th 2009 8:21AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 6:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 6:39AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/
The message, if true, is a classic example of grooming. He 'just' wants to be a Facebook friend, but he wants to know her phone number and where she lives.]]>Oct 9th 2009 6:44AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Oct 9th 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/Sure he didn't say anything sexual or wrong.... pedophiles in their cars luring kids with candy don't either.

Tom.. you are absolutely correct. A classic case of grooming. Telling her he has "never wanted to add a 16 yr old" is clearly trying to make this girl feel special so that he garners her trust and friendship.

Some people just like drama and publicity. I was a beautiful teenage girl who was pursued by even my teachers and doctors---today a mother, in my 40's I get pursued by even teenagers STILL. I spend a lot of time saying no...I maintain my weight and figure over the years,now fluctuating between 115 to 125 pounds and look great at either end of the scale. My children friends, teachers, doctors etc hit on me. Should I publicize every seemingly misconduct? One has to learn to deflect unwanted attention with tact! She's obviously a beautiful girl, that can be a blessing as well as a curse, her parents need to let her know things like this will happen, men are drawn to beauty, and unfortunately with a world full of lazy fat women "most women over 30 tend to let themselves go", so men tend to look at younger women. Also, in England, Jamaica etc the age of consent is 16. Women are drawn to hard body handsome men, powerful men, etc... I think this was blown out of proportion.]]>Oct 9th 2009 9:05AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/If the girl DID turn him down and he continued- it's harrassment. He crossed ethical lines by taking her name from a boarding pass...
All this mention of physical description that you add, gives you away. There's no mention in the article like your perverse rendition.]]>Oct 9th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/http://www.switched.com/2009/10/07/flight-attendant-hits-on-teen-girl-via-facebook-airline-apologi/
I was going to jump in on this discussion but I could not have said this any better.]]>Oct 9th 2009 9:44AM
