“omg my husband is missing please help him!”

“… wait a minute he isn’t missing, his mom says that he’s fleeing an abusive relationship and you called the cops on him.”

I don’t even know anymore man.

Jesus christ.

I think I got tagged in that post about a million times this morning from people wanting me to signal boost it, and honestly this will sound awful, but this is why as a general rule I do not signal boost missing person posts unless they are coming from individuals I know, because honestly you just don’t know what is going on sometimes.

I had friends growing up who ran from their abusive parents and it was framed as a “missing troubled teen” narrative to get them back. More recently I had a friend who tried to leave her husband and her husband tried to tell everyone she’d lost her mind and didn’t know what she was doing and if anyone saw her they needed to send her back to him. He was bold enough to get the police involved too. Some abusers are just brazen in their confidence to not get caught.

And honestly, do I know what is happening in the above post? No, but with so many conflicting accounts and different voices, I’m hesitant to help a possible abuser splash their victims face all over the internet.

Remember back in 2012 when everyone was like “don’t reblog missing persons posts! They’re fake and made by abusers!” and everyone was like “yeah ok”

We need that back please, fake missing persons reports are the biggest way abusers try to track down their victims
