update on kidnapped student

[fictional]

The department apparently takes this all Very Seriously. They have called, are reporting the incident, are concerned about suicide, etc. etc.

They have also discovered that said student's contact number is in fact, her boyfriend's (the alleged kidnapper).

Student is still MIA and has not responded.

Possibility 1: I am a cynical, horrible excuse for a compassionate human being, and this person is actually in phenomenal amounts of trouble and/or dead.

Possibility 2: I am a cynical, horrible excuse for a compassionate human being, and this person has seriously unleashed a can of worms upon themselves that I don't think they were intending to.

I feel kind of bad over the whole thing.

But oh will they deserve it.

Yeah. I'd be really fine with Possibility 2. What are the odds it's #1 though???

With your student population, higher than you'd like. That said, I suspect that if it's some iteration of one it's more a thing of the boyfriend doesn't want her going to school, maybe hit or threatened her, so she's not going, but if any legal moves are made she may deny it all and say it was case #2.

yergh. Even more nauseating.

God, I hate this place.

Either way, you may have to talk to the cops if you haven't already.

Nothing's been mentioned. We'll see what develops!

It's all fodder for the Tell-All book, right?

or at least if you posted it in rants and raves for craigslist, it could be selected as a "best of"
