Stay safe y’all

@PGGreatOak

Didn't even know this was a thing. Glad to hear he's okay. 👍🏻

@sharonl3722

That is awful!! I am glad he is safe now!

@bf6081

I don't know if he was in on it, seems very suspicious that he pretended to be kidnapped until the money was paid..

@yyzsupra8338

And who was involved here with it?  Question the host family next....

@danielbenitez6985

They paid $80K random without first even contacting law enforcement 😑

@Bigeinla

That's a death sentence in China if they get caught.

@robertwhitten265

They don't have phones to call each other?

@emilyl1094

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.

@kwhp1507

Who is coming up with these stupid names? Cyber and kidnapping have zero things to do with each other.

@420thebass

SCAM !!!!!

@Dysturbed-00

This poor family this is heartbreaking I hope we can support them

@brett_imwalle

So he was somehow pressured into helping the “kidnappers” by pretending to be kidnapped?

@deaniacoponi2139

Something doesn't add up here. Was the student and his parents actually that stupid? I can't believe it.

@Cc_private_account_showreel

Nah that’s natural selection at this point

@CamDollar

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.

@AngelMartinez-qs3cf

Sorry this is totally irrelevant!  She has gorgeous eyes!  Sorry had to make a comment.

@ZennExile

Victim...?  Sure.  This kid was in on it until proven otherwise.  There's no way this isn't an inside scam of some kind.

@paulnonaca964

Like tron? Ok yea guy went in the video game...
