Reply to comment by Ok_Government_2062 in Kenny DeLand Jr., formerly missing American college student, on flight back to US | CNN by Formergr

Yeah... this just seems like rich overbearing parents got a plug at CNN. Their statement was weird, "we thank the media for the coverage of Kenny or he never would have seen the reports" or whatever.

Weird all around.

He even tells them to stop contacting the news. They won’t tell anyone what he said because it’s probably family drama. Probably fell in love there or something happened and he didn’t want them involved. He’s a grown adult, though. And reporting someone missing after just a couple days like this is just dumb, it’s one thing if they always respond to their phone and go to work everyday and suddenly stop, it’s another if you know someone left the country but is scared when you don’t hear from them after a while.

It was more than them just reporting him missing. They had a website in English and French, were having flyers put up, the whole thing.

And also criticized French law enforcement for not searching hard enough. Talk about fulfilling all stereotypes of the entitled American. Not helpful, dude.

In the article it says his fellow classmates were the first to report him missing to the authorities. So, it was not his parents initially.

Isn’t that pretty much what he did? He stopped responding to his phone and suddenly stopped attending classes.

He's been "missing" for 20 days...that's barely anything.
