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.

Eh. Don't feel bad. If someone was so horribly kidnapped, how did they find the time to e-mail you and not the authorities? Or, if it's an abuse situation-mom/friend/anyone?

I can't believe for a second that this person has the time to write to you about a kidnapping, but can't contact anyone else? Um? "I'm in denial of my abuse situation to everyone but my english comp teacher...!"

...yeah. OK.

They've come up again on the radar - apparently there's been more death in the family...and they're going to the Dean of Students.

Either it's more bullshit, or they are the unluckiest person ever.

In any event, whatever's happened, it's on a Grand Scale.


...but yeah, still finding it all v. hard to believe.
