Not sure if this the right thread. I have a student, one of my "homebase" students, a girl, also in my current art class, who became involved with a 30+ year old man thru World of Warcraft game online. She is 12 years old. This has been all over the news here. He drove from Michigan to meet her. She and another female student met him at his car. They both got in his car, and then the other girl left because they wanted to be alone. The other girl who left, texted a parent about it, and the police were called. When the police arrived, the man was on top of the girl in the car. The man was arrested, and, subsequently, his computer was confiscated by the police...local police traveling from our location to Mich.
The man, even while arrested, stated he intends to be with this 12 year old girl, after he is released, because they are "in love." So sad for this girl, who is so vulnerable. Principal called me to her office today. Said there is no father present. Girl is in counseling. I hope it turns out well for her.
