Ms. Russell and her entire case has been providing excellent teaching material for my children. Last week, they scared the hell out of me in a public place and, after we got home, had to watch numerous videos of children getting abducted from random places by random people. Had to drive home to them how kids can get got even when they are where they are supposed to be and doing what they're supposed to be doing.
A few days later, this story comes out, and we're back to having family discussions about situational awareness, abduction and poor decision-making. Between her and the sister in Dubai, my children are getting tired of hearing my mouth about it. Idgaf though.
I was happy when this young lady came home because I thought she'd actually been taken.
Now that it's coming out this was likely a hoax, my kids are going to be pissed at me again because we're going to watch this press conference together and discuss why our actions always have consequences for other people. I want to see if they realize how someone crying wolf can fukk it up for someone else who is telling the truth later on.
