Abduction or runaway? That is my question.
Recently, I check www.wort.lu frequently. Its English pages are one of a few sources of news in Luxembourg.
During the last two months (if my memory serves right), there are two cases of the Police asking for information on teenage girls who were missing for a couple or less than a week since last seen.
After the ariticles (with their names and pictures, and a brief description of clothes etc.) were up, the stories always ended up in, seemingly, a happy ending. Those girls were found safe and sound and were united with their family. Period. No details were given.
So I wonder what really happened. What was they all about?
Obviously, they were not kidnapped since if they had been, further details would have been on the news.
So I have to conclude that they had a row with their parents and just ran away from home. They might have stayed at friends place. When the news was up, they had no choice but to contact their parents on their own in order to have their accomplice(s) not to be imprecated in a crime (a criminal charges could be filed if the police found them first, right?).
Are there any other possibilities? Are there any better way of explaining what had happened? I don't know. I was and am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes stories but I don't expect a teenage girl doing the twisted lip beggar business here in Luxembourg.
In Japanese:
誘拐?、それとも一時家出?
最近頻繁にチェックするサイトがwort.luです。英語、ドイツ語、フランス語でルクセンブルクの地域情報が得られます。
記憶では、この2ヶ月の間に、「十代の女の子が失踪したので、警察が目撃情報を求めています」という記事が二度載った。いずれも、失踪後（疾走後?）3日とかそれくらい後のニュースです。名前、顔写真、簡単な特徴と最後に目撃された場所が載ります。
そして、いずれもケースもその数日以内（次の日とか）に、無事に見つかり、家族の元へ帰った、というフォローの記事が載ります。
これは誘拐事件ではないでしょう。すると僕の唯一思いつく結論が、一時家出です。家族と喧嘩して、ボーイフレンドなり、親しい友人なりの元に泊まってた？ということでしょうか。フォロー記事はほんの数行しかないので、詳しいことは一切わかりません。
報道されてしまうと、協力者（かくまってる人、故意或いは知らずに）に迷惑が掛かるので、本人が家族に連絡して家に帰るでしょう。
その程度?。警察も捜索に手間をかけるより、上記のようにメディアに載せて、手間を省いた方が楽でしょうね。
一方で、家出して、あちこちに名前と写真が載って、その後に学校でまわりから「アホだな」と嘲笑されるというおまけつきですから、回りに迷惑をかけた罰を受けるということになります。
一石二鳥ですね。
