How Parents Guide In A Relationship Can Prevent Life-Threatning Disasters, Considering The Unfortunate Case Of Gabby Petito
It is no longer news that the unfortunate eventually happened to Gabby Petito a travel Instagram influencer. Yes, the deed has been done, and nothing will bring her back to life. But there are many lessons to be learned in this case especially as it relates to relationships/marriage and parenting.
In my years of dealing with issues between two persons (Boy or girl in a relationship), I have come to realize that relationships are one of the most delicate areas of life, and as such must be treated with caution.
In this post, I will lay out what exactly happened, how it all began, who the parties are, some of the relationship lessons we can draw from gabby Petito's case, and finally, how Parents Guide In A Relationship can save anyone from life-threatening relationship disaster.
Let's jump right into this.
As was recently reported on binghamtonhomepage, on July 2nd, 2021, Gabrielle Petito and her boyfriend Laundrie left New York for a cross-country road trip to national parks out west in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, which trips were neatly documented on their Instagram pages. You can find some of these documentaries also on their youtube channel..... Vanlife or watch directly below:
On August 12, 2021, the duo got into a dispute. Having been contacted through a 911 distress call by a yet to be identified passer-by, the police covered part f the argument between Gabby and her boyfriend with the assistance of the Hourlong body camera footage.
Part of what was recorded was a scene of Petito crying “uncontrollably,” saying they had been having “little arguments” that day. According to Laundrie, they had been traveling for four to five months, which must have possibly caused an emotional strain between them and increased the number of arguments.”
August 21, Petito's father last discussed with her after he was said to have helped her order food in Salt Lake City.
On August 25, 2021, Petito's Mother recalled that was the last time she spoke with her girl.
August 30, 2021, Gabby's mum reportedly received a text from Gabby's phone even though she wasn't sure it was her who was actually texting.
The events that followed after this although were going to be really handful in determining the cause of death, but will never right the wrong that had already happened.
All we know after the last texting to her mum was that Laundrie returns to Florida with Gabby's van without her, Gabby was declared officially missing, Laundrie declared a person of interest, and the sudden disapperance of Laundrie on the 17 August, 2021. On the 19th of August, 2021, Gabby's lifeless body was eventually discovered in Wyoming.
So far, I have tried to bring the series of event that eventually led to the untimely termination of the life of a beautiful, intelligent Gabby who was filled with energy before her death.

Was Gabby and Lauderie old enough to get into such cordial sexual relationship? Yes, they were old enoulgh both to be in such relationship as well as to embark on such a cross-country tour.
One singular fault I however find here is their parents' failures to closely monitor some of their activities. Also, I am of the opinion that while they are not too young to be in a relationship, they are way too young to embark on such a long term tour without proper monitoring from any of their parents.
Advise To Parents
It does not matter how old your children are, they are still your children. A routine check on Gabby could have saved her life.
