Found Safe UT - Kai Zhuang, 17, international student, 28 December 2023 *ransom demand*

<modsnip> He tried to camp December 20th, but police turned him back to Riverdale. Wouldn't he have told the police of the situation? He's being told to make it look in photos that he is being held by captors, yet there are no captors? Seems fishy. Did he have access to the bank accounts where money was being placed?

Not necessarily because of his culture. If he's been told not to tell anyone and is in fear for his family. The Chinese police and government are no joke

<modsnip: quoted post was snipped> However, this is happening and we don't understand the culture of the Chinese students and families. It breaks my heart that his family actually paid $80,000 to get him back safely. I am so happy the FBI came in and helped to located him as quickly as they did; that he is safe and didn't die from the elements.
