thank you for posting about Kennedi, @Seymour Krelborn!
Kennedi also has autism.
it seems that at this stage, Twitter is on the case. i know how that can go, and obviously there's a lot of mixed information out there right now. but it seems that people have been able to communicate with Kennedi (or someone using her phone/account... it seems 2 phones are being used) on Snapchat and it appears she's with two men. the working theory seems to be that they were able to prey upon her because she has, for example, a Plenty of Fish account with a fake age, and so she probably met up with them and, you know, being sixteen, this didn't very well. -_-
supposedly someone grabbed her coordinates using geotagging and it says she's in Mountainview, CA... but it's in an area with a lot of tech warehouses so i have a feeling it could not be her real location and could be a default location used by her phone/snapchat/whatever if location services aren't on or something.
there's a twitter thread where a lot of this is concentrated, but i have a vague recollection of a rule about linking to social media, or something, i think especially if a minor's username could be revealed? i don't know if i'm remembering correctly. so i'll wait for someone to give the OK before i link.
as someone with autism myself who also had ideas of having an older man ~save me~ from less than ideal circumstances (though it didn't end up quite this way lol) i really feel for her and i hope this gets enough attention. like i said, twitter is on it which is definitely encouraging, but i know people here are especially good with this.
