Opinions please - sending your kid abroad... good or bad idea?

[MCgrease08]

Geez T. Lex. It's almost 2 years since this thread got started and here I get all excited thinking we're going to get an update from OP about his son getting ready for his trip abroad.

Somebody wake up Rouglet and get his 70 post thread-abondoning butt back here to tell us if the kid is going abroad or not.

Oh. See, I totally misunderstood the connection between T. Lex's necropost and this thread. I thought the OP had gone on the dark web to send his kid "a broad". He likened it to the Ebay of human trafficking. Do they offer free shipping? Or does that come with some kind of minimum purchase requirement?

Ok. I'm not sure this is worth its own thread, so I dredged up this one.

First, the link:
Chloe Ayling: Model in dark-web kidnap case says Instagram saved her - Business Insider

Short form: a model goes abroad for a gig, gets kidnapped and held "for sale" on the "dark web" in some sort of human trafficking version of eBay. Gets let go after the captors realize she has a 1 year old kid. Identifies one of her captors, who is now arrested.

I'm sorry, but my BS detector is lighting up. Anyone else seen this? I mean, if it is real, as a father of daughters, instead of my BS detector, my pissed-off-dad meter is going ballistic.

I have skills, but not THAT particular set of skills.

I just heard someone was in custody. That doesn't mean this won't turn out to be a BS stunt like you suspect T.Lex, but we will see soon.

Yeah, I'm a cynical skeptic. The Euros tend to be very strict when it comes to identifying victims, and the fact that this girl has come forward to say that she's the victim is the cause of some of my suspicion.

Like I said, there isn't any one part of this; it is the whole story. Wonder if she's going to try to parlay it into a book/movie deal.

I wouldn't send my kid a broad. He can go out and get his own broads like I did. Jeeze.... kids these days always looking for a handout.
