Didn't even know this was a thing. Glad to hear he's okay. 👍🏻
That is awful!! I am glad he is safe now!
I don't know if he was in on it, seems very suspicious that he pretended to be kidnapped until the money was paid..
And who was involved here with it? Question the host family next....
They paid $80K random without first even contacting law enforcement 😑
That's a death sentence in China if they get caught.
They don't have phones to call each other?
These types of 'kidnappers' are usually threatening, manipulative and convincing. In my country, there were cases of parents receiving phone calls that their 'children' were kidnapped while walking home either to or from schools. The parents could even hear their 'children' on the background screaming, crying and sounds of yelling and beating. Of course, these parents were very worried and frightened. They were told not to call police or else their 'children' would be killed. The kidnappers demanded a ransom to be placed at a specified place before releasing the 'children'. Their children did not carry cell phones so there was no way of contacting them to verify the actual situation. Some parents did pay the ransom and some reported to the police.
Who is coming up with these stupid names? Cyber and kidnapping have zero things to do with each other.
SCAM !!!!!
This poor family this is heartbreaking I hope we can support them
So he was somehow pressured into helping the “kidnappers” by pretending to be kidnapped?
Something doesn't add up here. Was the student and his parents actually that stupid? I can't believe it.
Nah that’s natural selection at this point
I don't buy any part of this story tbh. HIs parents are sending 80k to randoms and he's just in a nice tent in the woods with a nice coat on with nobody forcing him to do anything? Righhttttt.
Sorry this is totally irrelevant! She has gorgeous eyes! Sorry had to make a comment.
Victim...? Sure. This kid was in on it until proven otherwise. There's no way this isn't an inside scam of some kind.
Like tron? Ok yea guy went in the video game...
