Let us retrace the events leading up the murder. Scarlett's mother Fiona had left her daughter in Anjuna [in Goa, Scarlett was age 15, got murdered], in the care of tour guide Julio Lobo and his two aunts, while she and the rest of the family went off to another "hippy" resort further south.
She claims she thought Scarlett and Lobo were just friends, although she later learned they were having a sexual relationship after reading her diary.
Before I launch into a tirade, let me say, no one deserves to have the child murdered… no matter how stupid, selfish or foolish they may be.
However, I must take task with those commenters that seek to instantly absolve her of responsibility. Would they do the same for a father who gave an 8 year old a loaded gun for his birthday or a mother who left a 2 year old locked in a car while she was shopping on a hot summer day?
These are the same naïve hippies that mindlessly rallied against Blair and felt that the cause of Islamic terrorism was British policy. Their naivite (and copious drug use) causes them to be blind to potential danger. They fail to recognize that some people are just evil.
