Californian Jogger Found

After three weeks of searching, Sherri Papini was found. She is a 34-year-old and a mother of two. She went missing on November 2nd when she went on a jog. No one knows why she was taken, but police are not looking for two women in a black SUV that were somehow involved in the case. Papini was found on the side of a highway, 140 miles away from where she was taken. She had restraints on her. Her husband was able to track her phone when he came home and found that she wasn't home. Her phone, earbuds, and a few strands of her hair was found where she was taken. She was found this past Thursday and is getting checked by a doctor for any injuries. While she was gone, her husband didn't tell the children that she was missing.

What would you do in her situation? Why?

If you were her husband, would you tell your kids? Why or why not?

I would be terrified and wonder why they wanted to take me. I would try to fight them, which I am sure she did. I wouldn't tell the kids till after awhile, maybe a month. It just makes it harder to tell them and everything becomes much more real when kids are emotional about situations like this.

  • Good job overall but all of your comments were done on the 30th.

  • I would wonder why it was me and also start to fight them and try to get away and yell and or do anything to get them off me and everything. I wouldn't tell the kids either cause I can see why, there are many things that would be going threw the kids head if he told them. Also if she weren't to survive it would be hard to tell the kids. 

  • All you can do is wait because kidnappers aren't stupid and will restrain you so there isn't really much you can do. I would tell them a day or two after to make sure she doesn't just show up.

  • I don't know how I would act if I were kidnapped, but I would most likely scared.  I think I wouldn't tell the children depending on how old they are.  If they are really young they wouldn't understand what happened.  But if they were older I would tell them because they have a right to know and they understand what it means to be kidnapped. 

  • I would try to get a way to my family and if that didn't work I would try to appease my kidnappers so that they didn't hurt me. Depending on the age of my kids I may or may not tell them. If they are young and wouldn't understand I would tell them that she went on vacation, but if they are older then I would tell them. 

  • I would hope someone would find me and try to call for help. I would tell my kids because they deserve to know and if something happened to her they deserve the truth. 

  • I don't know what i would do in her situation. Depending on who the kidnapper was I might try to fight back or I may try to stay calm. It depends on the ages of the kids. If the kids are really young then I wouldn't tell them because they wouldn't know what it means. If they were older then I think that I would tell them and explain that this doesn't mean the worst. 

    • I'm sure she tried fighting back. I would too. What I didn't find in the article is how they managed to take her without her getting free, and I think it would be interesting if we knew how they took her.

  • If I was in her situation I would try the fight the people who kidnapped her and also try to find a way to escape if I could

    I wouldn't have told the kids at first because they probably wouldn't have understood the situation and also they would have probably been really scared

  • I would try to fight them and indicate to someone that I've been taken. If nothing works I might go to a panic and shock. It depends how young the kids are. If they are really young then not straight away since they wouldn't probably understand the situation. If they were older then yes absolutely.
