The same willingness to believe and help on the part of the kid in the game chat is what got the girl kidnapped.
Parents think, “Oh, she’s fifteen, she’s been online for years now, she knows not to trust strangers.”
People generally, and especially good kids, want to help and there are a few people who learn how to take advantage of this. I do mean a few, we hear about this in news reports because news reports don’t report on the mundane things. We pass these reports around because they’re outrageous, and salacious. There are 8 billion of us on this planet, and the wide, vast majority have never been kidnapped.
It’s important to keep this in mind because, stoking fear is how people are lured to the dark side. And, our news media, run by billionaires, plays an active role in that.

Fuck the police, need other organization to contact. The police won’t help, more likely to help kidnappers or shoot the victim.
imagine being a player in a game lobby and some random other player says this to you. even just imagining it is sobering.
good on the other player for stepping up.
My first instinct would be that someone tries to scam me. This is a reminder to myself and everyone else, that we should take help request seriously.
no, it’s a reminder to not meet up with strangers on Snapchat like a kidnappee

So the kidnapping happened in Utah, they were found in Oregon, but the kidnapper is being tried in Idaho? Where does Idaho fit into the crime?
