Just saw on the news about a 50 year old kidnapping 15 year old teen Elizabeth Thomas.

This really really bothers me. WTF.... She just needs to be returned safee back to her family.
He needs his nuts fried.

I read that story on another site this morning.

So sad.

Just another example of a person in authority (teacher) taking advantage of a kid whose judgment is clouded by a still underdeveloped and developing brain.

There are reasons laws exist to keep the ages apart.

Why don't these creeps try to pick up women their own ages?
Coz women their own ages would laugh at them, reject them, and recognize them as the emotionally retarded, and socially backward, underdeveloped adults they are.

In the meantime, he screws up this girl for life, having brainwashed her into believing only he truly loves her as she should be loved.

Meanwhile it's her innocence he wants.

You nailed it.... But if/when she is reunited with her family, her mental/emotional condition shouldn't be hopeless.
I wouldn't say brainwashed. Look what happened to Elizabeth Smart. She turned out to be an advocate for child safety and was missing for 9 months. All depends on how strong the teen is.
Praying for her safe return.

@shakenama: I stand by 'brainwashed'

You can be brainwashed temporarily.
Even Elizabeth Smart was brainwashed though I'd hardly call her brainwashed now.

I believe it's called Stockholm Syndrome in the case of E.S., who by the way is a hero of mine, and of many around the world.

This particular girl in the news now, is of course brainwashed temporarily. She has been seen kissing the teacher in the school. He has said and done things that have hijacked her trust, made her believe him, like him, love him even and trust him above others.
That is brainwashing.

We can hardly call it true love. She is 15.

She can recover. For sure. But for now, and for the foreseeable future, she is currently brainwashed.
