(CNN)A former Tennessee teacher has been added to the state's "Top 10 Most Wanted" list after being charged with aggravated kidnapping in the disappearance of a 15-year-old girl. Authorities say Tad Cummins, 50, kidnapped Elizabeth Thomas, a freshman at the high school where Cummins taught until this week. The girl is in imminent danger, they said.

I think you’re just doing a parody of a thin-skinned misogynist on the Internet. A harmless enough way to pass the time on a weekend afternoon.
Look Joe I’m asking you nicely would you please walk away?
I did not post this so a FReeper war could break out I posted to find this child!
Think if you were her dad would you not be climbing the walls right now wondering where she was? I know he must be in terrible pain. It does not matter HOW his daughter fell into this it only matter that she DID.
Now please BACK OFF! I’m being nice okay? I care about Elizabeth! I want to help her. If you are not here to help her then just back off.
I got news for you. This is not the real world.
If you will this thread you will find post upon post of this guy insinuating that this fifteen year old girl is responsible for being absconded with by a teacher in his fifties.
We are not to judge that a bad thing evidently.
I got news for you I did my part. Thousand of FReepers and Lurkers just viewed this post and saw her picture. Many had not heard this story, but because of me they did! I was part of the solution.
Maybe or maybe not it will be my post the brings her home God only knows. At least I tried that more that most did.
Thank you Mr Edd!
((((HUGS))))
Is there no father in her live and she sees him as one?
Yes, we do.
It's her fault and he's just the poor innocent victim who could not help himself.
76 trombones!!
Yes, in fact her only parent is her father. She was abused by her mom and I suspect the mother is no longer in the picture.
Bwahahahaha ,,, you win the Internet for a day! ... BTW, I’m listening.
Isn’t this third time in two days that you’ve stated that the girl looks like trouble?
The girl probably is just following her ‘teacher’s’ directions. She is looking to him for the next move and this guy is probably prepared to die because he he has gone too far and knows he has lost everything.
At some point, he has realized he is lost and that everything he has worked for is over except a nice jail sentence and I am sure he is prepared to die.
There is no good ending to this. I just hope the girl lives.
You are out of bounds, old man.
Take your abusive rant elsewhere and stop attacking respected members of this forum.
And kind of scary that you thinking it is ok for a man to abuse a child because you think ‘she looks like trouble’.
I wouldn’t want you around my children.
It’s (probably not entirely serious) cheering for beautiful women seducing high school teens, but not men seducing underage girls. I’m not sure why that would not be a double standard.
To support one is to legitimise the other.
Older male / young female or older female / young male is a distinction without a difference. Neither males nor females are mature enough to nurture and support a child while they are minors. Nor are they disciplined enough to juggle active sexuality while meeting their obligations.
It’s a firecracker with two fuses. It doesn’t matter which fuse you light.
Many would disagree, including the legislators from my youth. As I recall, if I had dallied with a girl just under 18 when I was just over 18, that would have been very bad. In contrast, the law said nothing about me dating an 18 y/o when I was 17. The courts eventually ruled that the distinction was sexist, but I disagree. The rules should be at least somewhat different for men and for women, with boys and with girls (but not for teacher/student).
Note: I also very strongly disapprove of any school teacher of any age dating any of his/her students of any age, and in general of professors dating their students regardless of age.
I implied that the difference is already codified in law and to support violating that law is to support violating that law. Nowhere did I say this specific age or that specific age. I said adults and minors and I am fully aware that the law may vary who is legally a minor regarding this topic both by sex and by whatever state one is in. And that through matrimony exceptions may be made by a parent or guardian together with a presiding judge. That's fine. Just ignoring statutory protections because one wants orgasms is not fine. Ever.
I support age of consent laws and harsh penalties for those who chose to violate them. Period. Those laws are there to protect our youth, and our posterity.
Children are not acceptable sexual playthings for adults.
