No Reason to Panic, but this should be addressed...

Beaches is owned by Sandals so that's simple not sure what article you read the first one I saw was from the Detroit Free press. And according to that you got all or most the info wrong 603 do better research this is a very serious subject.

I read the article attached in the first post. Have you?... agree that the info is not very good. I'm not googling articles about it in my free time.

I am well aware that Beaches and Sandals are both part of the same company.

I know tis is a serious subject, however, it seems that, as usual, we have taken the route that people are no longer required to take responsibility for their actions.

The incident at Riu involved an armed man entering thru a balcony door. Not sure what action they did wrong. According to the article they disarmed and shot him. The attack by the Cuban football players involved a lady going to the bathroom and they attacked her in there. Not sure what actions got her chosen to be gang raped in a woman's bathroom. And the two young women at Beaches were shmoozed and groomed by three slick talking boys who lured then into the laundry room. Nothing better than blaming the victims.

From what I read they were teenage girls & the rapists asked them to come see something in the laundry & then raped them. They were teenage girls not fully functioning adults so therefore not responsible. Teenage girls do not always make good judgement calls. Stop blaming the victim!

At what age are people responsible for their own actions? 17 isn't enough to know something is wrong?

You make my point. People, in general, do not always make good judgement calls... and sometimes bad things happen as a result. Did those girl have to go into the laundry room? No. Could they have overreacted and ran away screaming. Yes. I would rather be embarrassed for overreacting than crushed for falling victim. No one deserves for bad things to happen to them, but what would I expect if I went with some random guys into a creepy, out of the way room at a hotel in a foreign country? I'd expect bad things, 17 or 40 years of age. I'm not blaming the victim. I'm blaming everyone involved. Clearly, people are uninformed and blindly participating in vacation destinations in which they have no knowledge of... the warnings are there for a reason.
