"BRIDENAPPING"

Lemuel and Julia Redd...  what to say?  I'll start with a reminder: They have been charged with kidnapping.  They allegedly agreed to take their daughter, Julianna, out to do some last minute wedding errands... and ended up driving 300 miles to Colorado.  Needless to say she missed her wedding.

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, and it'll be interesting to see how the case unfolds.  But what do you think? 

If the Redds did do what they're accused of, should be punished with up to 15 years in prison?  Or not because of the parent / daughter dynamic? 

I'd like to believe that the root of all of this is that the Redds were trying to be good parents.  But I do think good parents need to be able to set aside their own feelings for certain things and situations, and let the kids rise to the occasion and handle it.  If it does turn out to be a mistake, hopefully they learn from it.  But you parents out there are probably saying to yourselves, "Yeah, easier said than done!"

The Redds, Julianna, and her husband Perry will be on tonight's (June 1st) 20/20.  Be sure to catch it at 9pm.
