In my area, there was a missing 43-year-old woman recently. Her situation was shared, and actually, she wasn't a missing person.
I'm very passionate about missing people, but that passion brings about some frustrating realizations. One of those frustrating realizations is that the Amber Alert system is so flawed. Another example is when a consenting adult is trying to cut contact with abusive or toxic family members and those family members report them missing.
That is what happened to the 43 year old woman a couple towns away from me. That is so maddening. If you are just scrolling social media and you see a post from a person looking for their missing sister or whatever, you aren't going to think that that person is a toxic person that anyone is trying to get away from. It just doesn't cross your mind. That's why it takes away from true missing person cases. The person that made this post said she was “in psychosis” also. That's also going to make you trust whomever is posting. No one questions when people say their family members have mental health issues. So it's easy for people to just use that to try and control the person further. There was no police report for this woman, which also should have been a red flag. Always ask what police department should be called if the person is found. If they say “ the police refuse to help me!” then red flag.
Under another missing person flyer was this comment. I guess he was saying that's where the missing person might have gone. Check your marijuana fertilizer! (I was not aware marijuana needed it's own fertilizer). Is he serious
