[@charlieh9338]

Very true

[@nicoledin7091]

Agree

[@tomcatkitvon9355]

definitely

[@riastuart6209]

I do not agree. I do believe she should have been given a much higher sentence. However, her insecurities about herself due to past bullying and her self-hatred are not psychiatric illnesses . That she focused on what Rachel had and what she did not have in terms of looks, personality, stable family and so on are not signs of a psychiatric illness. We are all different and many can see others they consider more attractive, know others that are more gifted and know of others who had much better/stable family lives and yet we do not kill people, Killing a person is not a psychiatric illness, it can be but not so well planned and thought out and so its down to the old 'Mad or bad? question and I do not think the way she could function in other areas of her life and the way in which she planned the murder of Rachel was due to a psychiatric illness. That she does have issues is not in doubt but what she did was bad and she knew what she was doing and knew it was 'bad' and so she should have been given life with no parole. So many try to or use mental illness to get shorter sentences or to be in psychiatric units which are more comfortable to serve their sentence in. If they are not mentally ill and many are shown not to be then they are simply adding to the stigma that people with MH issues are violent or killers, which is not true. So to suggest that she should have been sent to a psych ward adds to the stigma and what of those who are genuinely mentally ill on the psych wards having to have murderers living with them? No, she is bad not mad and for all that she did and all the heartbreak she caused and the loss of a beautiful young life, it is her guilt and not the guilt of those who suffer from genuine MH issues/illnesses, who are stigmatised further and feel deeply when others believe they are all 'murderers and dangerous' . It is people with mental illnesses that are more often the victim of violence from others including killing. She should never be out again in society and then again neither should so many others who murdered and showed no remorse. Life should mean Life!

[@samorachannel2093]

Pretty much, my first thought would be, what made that child runaway..

[@kittencatlover156]

There are not enough resources in any police station to warrant this. All the police would be used up on run away children. Pretty much every "missing" child report we used to get at the Police station was a kid hiding at a mates place due to a fight with a Parent etc. We got so so many of these a day. They should have however acted quicker than they did in this case. You cant act straight away though. Its just not fesable

[@MenaandSheilz]

even if a child IS a runaway they still deserve to be looked for. that’s a literal child in who knows what kind of situation! i don’t understand why that’s always the excuse to not look for someone!

[@rilleygriffin]

Mena Sun such a valid point.

[@TheKyoshiFan]

The excuse is simply lack of manpower. It’s sad, but there simply isn’t enough police to put 100% effort into all the missing persons cases.

[@MenaandSheilz]

​@@TheKyoshiFan I definitely understand that, but there wasn't even 1% effort put into this to start. The very least you can do is file a report and share it with your colleagues, even if you don't dedicate a whole force to look for someone. There should be a basic minimum that the police can do when a child is missing. Something is better than absolutely nothing.

[@lolno8520]

Mena Sun I know right. A child might run away but that doesn’t mean that no one should look for them like damn you never know what happens to a child alone outside

Right away, I thought that the job that Rachel said she got had something to do with her disappearance. It just didn't seem right. And that the whole thing where she said she was sick and kept taking days off was very weird too. Then the part where her father visited her and the whole time he was there, she had the door locked. I knew right away she had something to do with it. She shouldn't have been released. She deserves to rot in prison for taking a young girl's life away just because she was jealous of her. It still didn't give her the right to kill an innocent child. I hope she is at peace now and her family found a bit of closure. May her soul rest in peace.

[@tahliatuck2772]

I've met Caroline Reid. Her mother is a friend of family. The first and only time I saw her I was about 7 or 8 (now almost 33 so this was around 1996-1997. She was having a full blown tantrum and screaming at her mother telling her how much she hated her and how she wished her mother was dead. I was terrified, beyond that I was actually petrified of this young lady. It was said that we'd caught them at a bad time and we promptly left. Caroline Reid should not have EVER been allowed out of prison, her own family live in fear of her and as for "Who moved poor Rachels body", why has nobody ever investigated Caroline's father? She is an evil human being, she left prison basically with Rachel's hair colour and even managed to obtain green contacts just to make things more twisted. In fact those 2 words sum her up, oh she hates herself, oh she got bullied. So What?! I got bullied you didn't see me tormenting and murdering 15 year old girls at 20 and telling my mother I wished that she's dead. I met her once and have had continual nightmares so I can't even imagine what Rachel's family are going through as well as Caroline's family, the dads sketchy as but her mother and sisters are truly beautiful people. Caroline turned out sick, twisted, manipulative and evil and as I stated apart from her dad who I have never met but strongly believe after studying this case since it began when I was 11 was involved in Rachels burial, the rest of her family are good people and they shouldn't have to suffer because Caroline is a sick f*** no other way to put it, she needs to still be in jail and I feel like the justice system failed the Barber family terribly in so many different ways, honestly the fact that beautiful young lady with her entire bright future died for nothing and her murderer is now walking freely on the streets just makes me sick. My heart bleeds for them because there was a time they trusted that girl and she completely destroyed their lives like a wrecking ball, the whole situation is just awful and infuriates me to this day. Caroline Reid, if you're reading this you're a f***ing monster, burn in hell.
