@debex_guy added: “This is heartbreaking and completely unacceptable. How can students keep getting abducted back-to-back while those in power act like everything is normal? Every new incident is a reminder of how deeply the system has failed. Innocent children are being taken, families are traumatized, and the government still can’t secure schools. Another one again? This is beyond alarming, it’s a national disgrace.”
