I find it highly interesting there is no mention of her parents concern. Seems she is safe, but not with her parents. The story is the school reported her missing, but nothing is mentioned of her parents.
You and others have caught that, too.
It is SO annoying when something so OBVIOUS is missing. The press lets us know exactly what they want us to know. And leaves out what it doesn't want us to know.
Maybe her dad is "up-state" in the local prison. Maybe he's dead; maybe he's just a deadbeat. Girls need the males in their families to protect them. Most step up and do just that.
Ah me, more lamestream media stupidity for their MEAGER story.
