The good news is that he wasn’t the victim of gun violence. The rotting culture is safe for now.

The student's father, who could not reach the young man through his friends, had also contacted police.

2 months and a vacation period not talking to his son?

My wife talks to our college daughter pretty much daily, and we usually have a few texts throughout the day.

Different parenting styles, I suppose.

We had a neighbor die inside his house. The smell could be detected from across the street. There was a Reason this guy was left undiscovered. I’m thinking drugs involved.

I always find myself checking Life 360 to see where my kids are at their universities.

Men’s dorms are usually “stinky” so one more odor was likely overlooked,
a woman’s dorm would not likely have tolerated it.

My parents enrolled me in a private high school in 9th grade after spending, as I recall, three days in public school classes.

Three months later, around Christmas time, my mother got a phone call from the office of the public high school. They had noticed that I had missed a large number of classes recently and were calling to see if all was OK.

This is inconceivable.

Wouldn’t anyone notice if he missed classes?

This sort of thing is why I prefer it when my children join the military. Someone would notice if they died.

At a university, it’s entirely possible to disappear as long as the bills have been paid.
