You all really need to read this. That the schools did this is just beyond belief.

Elizabeth Thomas might be willing in this. It sounds like she had a friend drop her off at a place where Cummins was waiting for her.

In any case, I hope she’s safe wherever she is.

According to the school's report, Cummins told the students he was "a father figure" to Elizabeth and he "saw her as a close and best friend."

He is close and best friends with a 15 year old girl?

Creepy.

I check reports on this several times a day, just don’t post all of them.

Yes I agree with you she had a hand in on it but only so far as she was groomed by him. He saw an easy victim in her because of her past history of abuse. He has her hook line and sinker. Now I just hope she comes home alive.

At some point, Elizabeth updated her Instagram bio to read "wife."

Sigh. If she has access to a computer/phone, she can call for help when she decides she needs it.

“she can call for help when she decides she needs it. “

She only went to her account to post that? Bit strange she said nothing else unless the police are holding back on us.

“Sounds like a guy with problems.”

I’ve said it all along...this is more than a mid-life crisis. This dude is all out nuts. He’s done an Elizabeth Smart on this chick. Wanna bet he’s hiding out in one of the national forests nearby with her? He’s worked one over on her mind so unless she’s found soon this may take a while.

They’ve supposedly been spotted near Columbia. The girl is
more than twice this pervert’s age. His wife has to be
mortified; not to mention his own children. They appear to
be altering their hair color to disguise themselves. I hope
the authorities find them so maybe she can get her bearings
and have some semblance of a normal life. Men who live
according to the dictates of their sexual urges need their
butts kicked & castrated. He’s old enough for her grandpap.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Caller to The Phil Valentine radio program said his daughter actually witnessed the teacher-perp and student in a liplock recently.

It would seem the teen student may have left voluntarily, rather than being kidnapped.

Does not matter if she went with him or her took her she’s 15. Glad to see in the post-Obama world some states realize there sill are laws about statutory rape.

Something to do with her mother from what I’ve read. Would appear the mom was not in the picture and only her dad and 9 other siblings were.
