I cannot imagine this happening to my daughter & being treated by the authorities in Aruba the way she was. Sorry, I'm glad you had a great time, but it would be nightmarish to need the help of authorities if something had happened. If you search on Aruba, you will read many reviews from people who use to live there years ago and how it's changed because of law enforcement or lack of.
I can see this is a sensitive subject for you, YorkichonBella, but this is Nikki's vacation thread. Injustices to US residents happen everywhere, including right here in the US - where authorities don't do their job every day, in certain instances. Natalie's story, while horribly tragic, is not an isolated incident - remember Costa Rica? Bali? Portugal? Cruise ship tragedies?

Let's let Nikki enjoy her vacation thread - and if we want to debate governments and their injustices - let's open a whole new thread, please.
