ICTChris Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 When I was a student I'd often go off for a walk and be away all da. I'd sometimes go and stay with my aunt for days at a time when I needed to study for my exams and I'd go to visit friends for a few days elsewhere in Scotland - I never at any point told anyone where I was going and I was never reported missing. Not sure if this reflects the growing culture of advertising what you are doing to everyone you know or if it's just an indication that I had no mates at Uni though.

Well the worst thing that could've happened is that you'd be corrupted and ruined by an unscrupulous older man, so at least you avoided tha.... Oh.

I don't think I've ever felt as squalid and awful reading about a case and, as noted, I like reading about squalid and awful cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our pigeon holes at university where randy young ladies could leave you a note inviting you to pay them a visit. Not much else for posh psycho birds to do in St Andrews.

mizfit Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I think the only time I made my family worried about me was last year when Scotland played Ireland away. I'd went down to the pub early on and woke up the Sunday morning in my pals flat with a dead phone and no charger, walked into town a couple of hours later for the bus and managed to turn my phone on whilst I was on the bus to dozens of messages and missed calls. Thankfully they never phoned the police or that, they'd assumed I was at a mates house but when I hadn't showed up home early on the Sunday they started to worry.

resk Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Echoing what's already been said on here, it really is a sad reflection on the modern world that a young thruster/thrustress can't disappear for a few days, on the lash or swording or a combination of the two, without folk getting into a massive panic about it. Most people don't get murdered or imprisoned in basements for 20 years. Let your kids get on with their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Richey Edwards was away for nearly two weeks before they made it public. Think it was the fact he withdrew so much money each day in the lead-up to disappearing that everyone wonders.I don't doubt for a minute that he's at the bottom of the Severn, but the fantasist in me wants to believe he's on some Kibbutz in Israel or some place in Goa or somewhere like that.

Njord Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Spoke about it enough on here but I'd possibly qualify. Not seen one brother since 2000 and the other 2006. When I did go off the map, I went off the map. Never asked if I was "reported missing" but the politzi contact at the time would've surely flagged it. Some folk don't want to be found.

ICTChris Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 You have to be considered vulnerable to be reported missing. An adult can just up and leave their lives no law against that.Also paedophiles are attracted to pre-pubescents not women in their 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
