    This is essentially how the Turpin family was discovered in 2018. One of the girls made friends online (on YouTube singing at first, I think) and it led to her eventually escaping and getting to a cop.

    That was in Perris, California; north of San Diego.

        You really can’t see any connections between a teen using Among Us to find help, and a teen using YouTube to find help?

        They “just” went through a window to find help? What’s your point here?

        I just wondered why someone would be this pedantic about kidnapping awareness. Like, why?

        So I asked, and you downvoted. Smart!
