Missing Ohio teen located in Florida after logging in to World of Warcraft account
(www.seattletimes.com)
As if playing WoW these days wasn't torture enough, they got kidnapped too
Dragonflight has been an amazing g expansion compared to the previous so two so it’s a little less torturous right now.
First, I'm glad they found the kid. No one deserves to be manipulated and taken like that.
Second, dude, wtf? He's in his 30s and thinks that this is something he should do? The kid is literally half his age, and he seems to think that they're in any position for a genuine romantic relationship? Gross.
Male role models are had to come by and harshly spoken of as highly as the “successful” or “richest” ones are. Just look at Tater Tot’s if you really, in 2024, need a concrete example.
Blame it on some of the worlds addiction to insatiable consumption
Just look at Tater Tot’s
Not sure what this is really in reference to, but I defaulted to Napolean Dynamite.
I’m assuming the human trafficking ‘influencer’ Andrew Tate. Flaunted as a male life advice guru, showed money around, bragged about having expensive cars. But is now awaiting a human trafficking charge, because surprise, he’s a horrible human, and that’s what is a ‘role model’ to some people.
Ah that makes total sense. Yeah, I know who he is, I even booed him on a different post about the judgement regarding his property, but didn’t make the connection.
Get your own tots!
The bigger question is what was the drive like back to Florida. That's 14 hours and bathroom breaks
Sheltering an unmarried minor? tf?
Child marriage is legal in Afghanistan and many US states.
It’s not illegal if you marry your victim.
Yeah I know it’s legal in Ohio, and I’m pretty sure it’s legal in every state from here to Florida, including Florida.

Legal loophole basically according to this person
Specifically Florida Statue 984.085.
A person who is not an authorized agent of the Department of Juvenile Justice or the Department of Children and Families may not knowingly shelter an unmarried minor for more than 24 hours without the consent of the minor’s parent or guardian or without notifying a law enforcement officer of the minor’s name and the fact that the minor is being provided shelter
Basically, if the police find a kid in your home, and it isn’t yours, you’re doing a crime. If you marry her tho…
Serious topic aside: Did he thought if he dresses like Waldo he can't be found?
So that's a jail outfit FYI.
Thanks, didn't know that.
As a punishment they refused them the nice caps.
I always suspected Waldo was a felon on the run. Or an old-timey pirate ship crewmate, Or a candy cane
Dude "faces felony charges of traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual activity and interfering with child custody, as well as a misdemeanor charge of sheltering an unmarried minor, according to jail records." And yet his bail is only $6k. WTF!
Bail is set at what would make it expensive/hurt for an individual to flee their court appearance.
It is not restitution or a fine. It is only to encourage you to show up at court.
So, given his finances, the judge probably ruled that 6k would be enough to enforce that.
