The [BBC have an article](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-5667c315-a69c-4e5d-a683-e4e7771eb04d) on a young girl being abducted by two older girls. It’s a chilling story well told, with - thankfully - a happy ending. ---

Are you not coming back to the thread you started about Trump doing something right to admit you were wrong? ---

> [@Nawth\_Chucka](#): > > Are you not coming back to the thread you started about Trump doing something right to admit you were wrong? 😕 What does that have to do with this? Or was it posted in the wrong thread? That was some scary stuff in that story. Good job by law enforcement and thank goodness the girl was OK. ---

Good job by law enforcement and thank goodness the girl was OK. Quartz’s pointed absence in his other thread is to do w/ this one. Abandoning one’s own threads is frowned on. Maybe he’ll be more active in this, a thread that’s exactly like sharing a link on one’s Facebook page for one’s friends to say, ‘Huh! Extraordinary!’ ---

Although if you can clarify something for a clueless American, it says the teenagers “shoplifted dummies” but the only dummies I’m familiar with in a retail store are the mannequins, and that doesn’t seem likely. I’m assuming it’s some kind of toy or candy but Google isn’t helping. ---

I have no idea what thread you mean. But if you’re that mad about it why not pit him instead of threadshitting in this one? :smack: And I’m continuing the threadshit. Mods and **Quartz** , I apologize. ---

> [@Nawth\_Chucka](#): > > Are you not coming back to the thread you started about Trump doing something right to admit you were wrong? Now here’s a warning for you. I don’t know if you are just having a bad few days or what but you were given the benefit of the doubt on two easily warnable offenses in rapid succession. Now here you are following another poster to another thread to harass him about a separate issue. That kind of harassment is not allowed and neither is hijacking a thread. I suggest if you can not post while following the rules you take a step back. ---
