Possible Kidnapping!

Winfield, MO--October 29, 2004. Last night my 16-yr old son Dan had two friends over—Karl (17 yrs old) and Dan F. (16 yrs old). The way it was explained to me was, they were all going to play Fooseball at our house for a while, and then Dan F. was going to go to go spend the night at Jake’s (another friend’s) house. So they played Fooseball until about 8 pm, then they all walked Dan F. over to Jake’s house. While they were gone, I was brushing my teeth and I heard someone banging on the door like they were going to bust it down. I went to the door and there was Karl’s dad, with his cell phone, all in a panic, wanting to know where Dan F. was. Luckily, right then my Dan and Karl showed up and explained that he was at Jake’s house. Apparently Dan F.’s mom found out he wasn’t there earlier and was convinced he was kidnapped and had panicked because she didn’t know where he was. She went and got him and now he is in big trouble. These are 16-year old boys. In a small town. On a Friday night. Not drinking. Not driving around. Not smoking dope. Definitely not kidnapped. Believe me, no one would want them.
