LAS VEGAS (FOX5) - A 19-year-old man charged with killing an Arbor View High School student admitted he stalked the girl, sexually assaulted and stabbed her as she walked home Friday night.

Otremba was reported missing after she left home to pick up a geometry book from a classmate. Her family said they received a text message from the teen just after 6:30 p.m., indicating she would be home within a half-hour.

The next day family and friends found Otremba's burned body in a dirt lot near Grand Teton Drive and Oso Blanca Road.

That's according to an arrest report for Javier Righetti,

Two things the parents allowed to happen that should never happen.

1. They allowed the girl to walk home.
2. They allowed her to walk home alone.

It's the parents' fault, they should know by now that ANYONE should not be alone on the streets, ANY street at ANY time.

Dude she was 15... I'm paranoid and I would let my 15 yo walk home from school.

I wonder if anyone saw this go down and just 'didnt want to get involved'. Sad, sad story.

I feel your pain, POP, believe me....

My hometown was deemed "America's No. 1 Most Miserable City" two of the past three years by Forbes Magazine. I've had three murders within a few a few blocks of my house over the past three or four months. Time to move. It's hard to leave your hometown, though.....

I grapple over whether it's best to leave, or stay and try to make it a better place to live.....

its sad because there are police patrols everywhere in our area where this went down, and pretty vigilant people too , they still havnt told the truth regarding his drug usage though, wich could help explain alot seeing as how this was a totally random murder/rape. it would have been any girl walking the street at that exact time.

3. Never cut that umbilical cord.



It's the murderers fault. It's not the Parents fault. Although they could take some of the blame.

God, I hope not.....I would hope someone wouldn't hesitate to help a young girl like that.

On a side note, I am totally freaked out by your avatar, Domo1......LOL

This should be a wake up call for you as a parent. Would you rather be called "paranoid" and "over protective" or called "parent of murdered daughter"
I rest my case.
Please, please change your ways or God forbid we will be reading about your daughter next. It's a shame that we have come to this but unfortunately this is where we are as humans.
Godbless you.

So sad that in this time and age our children can not walk in our neighborhoods safe, when I was junior high, one of our classmates was assaulted, rape and murder by her boyfriend and friends.

It was the first time in my young life that I understood what rape was all about.

At 7:00pm at night, she was fine to walk home alone, this is not the parents fault - though it is this attitude from others that will exacerbate the blame and grief they will naturally feel...

My hypothetical daughter. I would rather my child not be terrified of everyday things like walking home from school. I will probably be overprotective, but not to the point of insanity. With your logic you should never let a child leave the house because something might happen.

As a parent, my kids don't walk anywhere unless they are with me, I will take time out of my life no matter what I am doing to drive them where they need to go. If I can't do it someone I trust with their life will do it, if they can't be driven somewhere they will not go. It works out great for us, they know they are protected and loved and don't miss out on anything.
They understand, they have never complained since it has been this way since they were little and when they hear of news like this they totally understand why I am the way I am.

i would agree with you if we were talking about a younger kid. but for a lot of parents there simply is not any other choice, unless they don't work and only have one kid to look after.

imagine you work from 9am-5pm and your wife/girlfriend does the school run, you have two kids junior school and one in senior school, both schools finish around the same time, how can the parent be in two places at once?

the parent would have to pick who or which kids to pick up and which ones are walking home.
so i think it is a bit unfair to say it is the parents fault, or expect that parents should do it, in the perfect world it would be cool if we all could walk our kids home, but it is not a perfect world and unfortuantly some parents do not get the time.

also there comes a time when kids have to learn to look after themselves and be more independant, i would say 15 years old is an age perfect for that. the parents were not at fault, the murdering scumbag was.

I'm seeing more and more bad things happening in Nevada lately. I know a lot of it has to do with instant media, but I have always enjoyed myself there visiting my aunt, the locals were always polite and nice...with a couple of exceptions. Of course it was out in the country, not in the city.

Is this uptick in violence something new?

My thoughts go out to the family and I hope the guy who did this, rots in solitary.

theres a pretty crazy underculture here with drugs and trafficking and all that BS but the random targeting of a 15 year old by a psychopath is something i dont hear about every single day thank the lord jesus h christ.

At what age are you going to let them go places by themselves? I take it your kids won't be allowed to get a drivers license when they turn 16. You really wouldn't let your 15 year old walk home from school? They'll be living completely on their own in three years at that age. Perhaps time to let them have a tiny bit of independence and self reliance. I suppose I don't know where you live though.

Sorry but I disagree with you completely.

1. Have you ever tried to control a 15 year old? I can see your point in saying she should not have been walking alone at night, but this is 6:30 pm when she sent a text saying she would be home in a half hour. At 6:30 pm at this time of year it is still day light out. I can just imagine the kind of fight I would have on my hands if I told my 15 year old she could not walk to a friend's house and back in the daylight. Forcing that kind of control on your child may keep her safe for that one day, but it will also cause her to rebel and before you know it, your 15 year old will be sneaking out in the middle of the night.

2. Same as above. Anyone who is raising a teenager knows you can not be there every minute of the day. They want their space, they want some freedom. You can fight it if you want, but you will put your kid in more danger by doing so. This is not the fault of the parents at all, it is the fault of some sick, twisted young man who clearly thought he could take whatever he wanted from whomever he wanted.

edit on 6-9-2011 by Thunderheart because: (no reason given)

I feel sorry for your kids. They are going to grow up demented if you treat them like that. Probably the damage is already done, they must be afraid of their own shadows.

I didn't say anything about driving themselves, driving alone is much safer than walking alone.
Even adult females get kidnapped and raped, I think that any female should never be on foot on the streets alone EVER.
When my kids liver alone I hope they are aware enough to remember what I thought them and never be on foot and alone anywhere at anytime.
