Four Teens go Missing in Iowa over an Xbox Romance.

Posted by 7thJosh on October 17, 2012 at 7:40am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Four Iowa teens decided to run away from their homes over an Xbox romance. On Saturday Two teenage girls from Shellsburg, and two teenage boys from Atlantic all decided leave their family and friends behind for some people they met while online gaming. What are your thoughts on this current event? I personally think this is horrible, and a very bad decision by all of the teens.

Ya i think it's really bad to i mean they met these people on line they could be anybody and be lying about their age and who they are and why would you run away if they are wanting to run away from your home then they probably aren't who you think.

Wow. That's kinda crazy to leave to go see someone you play with on Xbox. And who knows who that person could be.

Woah... that is pretty insane! I mean two of them being from Atlantic that's so close to here, and this is the first time i'm hearing of it. I hope they come to their senses and get home.

Thats really weird. I've heard of people from across the state meeting on xbox or any other game or something, but running away from home because of an XBOX romance thats...just weird.

I think this is a terrible decision by these 4 teenagers. Why would they do this when they don't even know the person.

Holy cow! Im surprised i haven't heard that much about this since it is so close to home. It is definitely a crazy world that we are living in that people would do such a thing because they think that somebody on the other side of a screen loves them. My heart goes out to there parents and i hope the the teens remain safe until they come to their senses and return home.

Wow had they even talked in person before making this life changing desicion! Most teens don't realize what a great life they have untill they've thrown it away!

I think its bad but if they want to go live with someone they met while playing an online game then its their choice. I would not do it though but like i said it is their choice.

I think that is absolutely ridiculous! It's XBOX?!? Really?? and in Atlantic that is soo close! Scary when you think about it. Hopefully they come back.
