Exactly. When I was in my 20s, I drove across the U.S. alone
I went to Hawaii alone, to Mexico alone, to Lake Tahoe alone, to the beaches of the Pacific coast alone. I talked with friendly local guys who approached me. I drank tequila. Gosh, I even hitchhiked when I was 16 with a gf back east to get to the beach. Call me lucky, but I was never drugged, raped or (as you can see) abducted and never seen again alive.
Call my parents irresponsible if you'd like but I was a free spirit and the times were such that we were curious and experimental. It goes along with being young.
Running into a man who would do what a man did to Natalee did not happen to me and I did talk (and not become intimate with) a lot of guys.
The point is...that guy probably did what he did to Natalee to others who simply chose to place it into a place in their minds where it was not disclosed. So many of them do.
I have seen, during a cruise, a young girl raped after being given a drug. We had to turn the ship around and get to land to have her flown into San Diego - they were losing her vital signs. We never head a word about it. She was a member of the b-ball team, taking an end of the school year cruise. Young, vital, athletic. Her picture posted showed her with drinking water in her hands. Of course, Carnival cruise line never let the media in on it. Had they, possibly the boys - who were next to their cabin - would have been tried and convicted had they bombarded them with interrogration and placed them in isolation in a jail cell.
It simply is rare for this to happen. I am 47, have traveled extensively alone and with others - one time, I saw this - it is RARE and when it does happen and the perpetrator is obvious, hell or high water could not keep me from wanting him convicted - as a decent human being and as a mother.

Thank you so much... I love shorthand, but that always drove me crazy - sm
I have gone in and changed mine. Just proves you can learn something new each day, or you can teach an old dog new tricks, not sure which... lol
drove 80 miles round trip to work for $5/hr...sm
sitting in a metal folding chair at a folding banquet table, banging away on a Selectric in a room full of smokers. This was a service that would UPS cassette tapes out to your home when you started working from home. Obviously this was 25 years ago. After two weeks, the owner let me go and told me he couldn't make money off of me, even at $5/hour. But then I applied at the hospital for a radiology transcription position (because now I had experience!) and they hired me because I was the only one who would work on Saturdays. When I consider what I had to go through to break into the field, makes me laugh when I see newbies fresh out of school with no experience asking for 6 cents a line to work from home...I guess just understand you do what you have to do to break into the field. That goes for every job that is hard to get into. 
You're welcome, but I can't take credit. When this drove me crazy, I learned how to fix it on
