Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

And I thought I wanted to hug Johan last week. I think I'm officially in love.

I am not saying the flight attendant had a right to contact this teenager or "any passenger" without their consent. However, 16 year olds get hit on ALL the time by grown men!! My daughter is so curvaceous that men started staring her down from a lil over 10 yrs. old. I raised her well...today at 17, she's still a virgin. I didn't have to make a scene about any advances towards her. She shut guys down direct and instantaneously. I only found out she was intact after a recent medical emergency. All that parent and child had to do was BLOCK that guy and call it a day. If a letter then came to the house, there would be need for concern, but people in general find it so easy to press a button and send a message over the internet that it doesn't constitute stalking with just a few text messages. He had a crush. If he was a Pedophile, her obvious mature aesthetics that he referred to, would NOT be alluring.
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.

You are full of BS!!! You are most likely a big ugly fat dude trying to get off on your own message.
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.

Is there ANY way to frame this post and push it to the top of the list?
I was going to jump in on this discussion but I could not have said this any better.

You seem preoccupied with the idea that the girl should be flatter by attention, because you have cleared identified yourself as focused on the idea that all intention is good attention -- so much that you are proud that men found your daughter appealing even at the age of 10 years old. You don't find it offensive, you find it flattering to her, and by extension to you. Then you discuss your own view of your own appeal. Nowhere in those statements did you show a rational and emotionally mature view that sometimes attention is BAD attention, and that young girls shouldn't be viewed by adult men as objects of sexual appeal, and that even many situations acting based on your sexual interest is a BAD idea.
This man took private information in the course of his job and used it to advance his sexual interest in a 16 year-old. And you can't judge that as wrong. Seems like you probably couldn't have raised your child differently either, so expect her to have bad judgement. Many women with that kind of judgement end up being so focused on getting attention, that they don't judge bad vs. good. And that will cause a lot of trouble through her life, and for those around her.
