Tragedy of errors

Around 11 p.m. last Friday night, 17-year-old Taylor Meyer was last seen by her friends at a party near the site of the defunct Norfolk airport. Classmates said they had seen her at the King Philip Regional Regional School homecoming football game and afterward at the party in the woods, featuring many students and unknown amounts of alcohol. Today her body was found today roughly 100 yards from the site of the teen gathering. It is a sad day when a life is cut so short, for so such silly reasons. Meyer was a senior at King Philip and planned to attend college next year to study business. If she had not lied to her parents regarding her whereabouts, if underage drinking was being better controlled by parents of high school students, if they used a designated driver, if the person who drove her there made sure she got home, or if our youth were not in such a rush to grow up maybe she would still be here today. Only if.

My thoughts and prays go out to the Meyer family as well as the entire King Phillip student body.
