21. What parent let's a 13 year old fly off
Fri Feb 27, 2026, 10:56 AM

to another city with an adult male?

I am NOT defending the pedophiles or in any way excusing them or blaming the parents. I also am not discounting what the survivors have said. It just stood out to me when the statement said thar the 13 year old child flew from SC to NY. The parents didn't know? They did know and let her go?

Sorting through details for patterns of behavior might help in the investigations. Example: Did Epstein focus on girls whose parents were indifferent to the girls' activities and friends? Or, is there some way that Epstein and her parents were acquainted?
