      By that logic so should anyone in the medical profession . Cops should have to pass such tests as well .
      EDIT- to address all those that continue to address me without reading through the thread . I understand law enforcement undergoes tests re psychiatric competence and I appreciate the clarity on that . However , I do not believe the testing is stringent enough . Also if we are to expect nurses to undergo such testing that needs to carry across the medical field in general - I do not believe there are any roles in health care that will prevent a person from seeing , or hearing ( think EMS ) , things that may disturb them . Do I think such an idea is realistic ? No .

I can only picture the conversations behind those house walls. It will be telling how they face this in coming days. Continue to pretend to believe her? Make her face her consequences? Sheild her?

This is truly a very sad situation. Hopefully her family will continue to support her and will maintain close contact with their daughter to ensure she has people who love her. And the public needs to go easy on her. I do think she is about to face a very difficult road ahead. 🧐😢❤️

      I actually wondered the same thing. The police said there were some google searches they would not be naming for personal privacy. But if that’s the case, I’m not sure why she’d have burner phone and text her ex boyfriend as if she was the kidnapper, saying they’d be finding her body parts along the freeway. I’m also not sure why she’d call 911 to report a toddler on the side of the freeway, that’s going to get a lot of police in the area immediately when she’s trying to be discrete to sneak away. If she wanted to stage a kidnapping, all she had to do is leave her car and stuff somewhere, just like she did on the freeway but call no one. Then go get the procedure done and then go home, making up whatever story she wanted.
      Apparently she was obsessed with the movie taken back in 2012 and decided her Twitter page to it.
      I wonder if she just wanted victim/survivor attention after a triggering event, like a breakup, failing grades or trouble at work. Something in her life was going downhill enough that she thought “surviving a kidnapping” would make people focus on that and not any failing area of her life

I feel she concocted this fanciful story because she was in panic mode not wanting her family and friends, and her BF, to see them. She may have even been blackmailed which may have caused a psychotic break in her of some kind, causing her to want to flee the area and completely disappear. (although she can't escape the net) Whatever she was going through it had to be a lot to be willing to destroy her job and leave her red Mercedes sports car behind.

    One thing that you didn't touch on was that her parents apparently went to Atlanta, GA because they claimed they had a tip that that's where she was, but also said that they had already been planning to go to Atlanta. Did they lie about this? Was there a tip? If so, who gave it to them, and how? Why were they going to Atlanta in the first place? Isn't it convenient that the place they were going to was purportedly where their "kidnapped" daughter was taken? Was this a way to cover up taking a vacation trip to Atlanta even though their daughter was supposedly missing? Which leads to the question, did they actually know that she wasn't abducted?

    Being a black woman, I didn’t want this to be what this eventually turned out to be. The moment I heard that there was just one singular call, being hers, reporting a “child” walking on the highway, I knew that this was a hoax. Then the video was aired of her car on the highway and she’s exiting, grabbing her snacks (that the kidnapper fed her) and there was no child. I think that this was pathetic of her to do. I don’t know if she thought that no one would care if she left other than her target (the bf), did she consider the street cams and ring cameras? She was blinded by attention seeking so badly that she didn’t stop to think of the end result and how idiotic she’d look once the details come out. I hope that she gets the help that she needs because honestly, that’s where all this stems from, her needing mental help. Glad that she is home and physically safe, but she wasted a lot of time, resources, opened a lot of wounds for those who have lost a child that were helping to chase her “diapered toddler and cheez it” hoax!

    I actually have found a child wandering in the middle of the street.... Her details were so ridiculous that I knew the story was fake.
    It was last summer in the middle of July. I was about to go walking when I noticed a car following a kid up the road. He was between six and eight years old. At first I thought it was a kid running from his parents. Then I realized it was something different. I dropped my dog's leash and ran after the little boy to get him out of the road.
    The woman following him in the car got out and asked if he was my child.. I told her I thought she was his. She was following him trying to catch him.. He was a nonverbal autistic child who had obviously snuck out of the house and gone wandering.
    All it takes is a second.
    And I did call emergency services. I called them as soon as I got the kid back to my house around the corner And gave him cold water and make sure he was under some air conditioning. And I turned on PAW Patrol for him. So he would stay calm because I was a total stranger.
    The police arrived about 15 minutes later and positively identified him as a child that was reported missing by his parents.
    That's what actually happens when you find a missing child on the road....

    She didn’t expect to become international news, she thought she could disappear, freak her family out then show back up and be afforded extra attention.
    It’s clear that she lacks the ability to thing anything through, so once things got out of hand she lacked any kind of plan and couldn’t find a way to craft a story that made sense.
    Apparently her boyfriend has removed all trace of her from his social media so I don’t think her plan worked…

      What weapon did he use?? A healthy young woman just gets "overpowered" without a massive fight? Did he choke her out, drug her, smash her head in, what?? Possibly. He was a kind guy not wanting to rough up her wrist skin though.

      Good point! This likely even may have given somebody a NEW idea how to waylay people who otherwise would not stop or get out of their cars. If children are seemingly in distress, any "normal" empathetic person IMHO is evolutionary hardwired to let all guards down -> easy pickings for perpetrators :-(((
      This young, but adult woman should be subjected to heavy consequences for her irresponsible conduct! IMHO she caused immense material and emotional harm for her family, friends and the law enforcement officers. I am torn between two explanations for her actions:
      - she faked her abduction as a prank (like the Mexican influencer who staged kidnappings for TikTok - she featured some days ago on Dr. G's blog) by herself, or on a dare by an unknown person -> immature and insensitive
      - she has a histrionic personality, maybe combined with juvenile schizophrenia (hebephrenia) and/ or a dissocial personality disorder/ early stage of Münchhausen syndrome (each condition individually, but also in combination possible, inpatient evaluation absolutely mandatory IMHO) -> reckless and attention-seeking, high probability for aggravation over time IMHO, even more hare-brained schemes and involuntary involvement of other persons are to be expected
      *Regardless of the motive for her actions - by showing this amount of irresponsibility and contempt for the feelings and resources of the people around her she has IMHO forfeited her entitlement to continue her medical studies.*
      [Opinionated complement on topic: To involve children as a lure could even further increase the success rates for an ALLEGEDLY already existing MO.
      I remember that ca. 15 years ago several media reported and warned, that in sparsely populated areas in (TMK) the UK and Eastern Germany (bordering Poland) allegedly a similar trick was pulled:
      On country roads without much traffic motorists suddenly would come across seemingly helpless persons lying on the tarmac. When the drivers stopped, left their cars/ motorbikes and tried to assess the situation, they were assaulted by accomplices of the decoy, and robbed of their belongings.
      In response to the reports, initially referring to the UK, many persons came forward and corroborated the accounts. IIRC they alleged that something similar had happened also to them, albeit not in the UK, but in Germany.
      -> Disclaimer: At that time only limited research regarding the truthfulness of the stories was possible (furthermore, I am no journalist or law enforcer). The region's notorious characteristics are known throughout Germany, this is not a prejudice. I know several people who can testify that the claims are true.
      IN MY OPINION the accounts are entirely plausible. I believe that at least some incidents happened as related. Shortly after the emergence of the reports we moved to another country, so I Iost track of the topic. In hindsight it could have been a giant hoax, which I do not know. I could be wrong! Better safe than sorry.] {Typos = bonus ;-) }
