I won't reveal his name, or the name of the school. I'll just say that he was waiting in front of his home waiting for the school bus to pick him up, when the kidnappers got him. We don't know if he's okay, we don't know anything at all.
We don't even know how much money are they asking for his release. This just leads me to another topic: It's impossible to lead a wealthy life in this country without having the need of security 24 hours a day. Kids like my classmate are being kidnapped on a daily basis in my country, and considering it's only a country with 8 million people, that's worrying.
You can't walk freely anymore without fear of having your neck chopped for the sake of a cellphone. Yes, as you hear it, a cellphone. These guys kill you if you don't give them your cellphone. a cellphone. We were all crying today, and I felt especially weird because I know that the kidnapped one could've easily been me. A member of my family received a threat via SMS on the cellphone. It said that someone he knew would be kidnapped.
Nothing happened, though. I'm still here, at home, typing this. But that person I know...he's not. God knows if he's somewhere out cold, if they're mistreating him, or what. He's not at home. And neither are all the rest of the young teenagers who might be held captive right now. I hate what this country has become. It's beautiful and everything, but...It's just. Dissappointing. The people who live here are worse than scum.
