Anyone at Sidwell Friends think that the NBC series "Crisis" hits close to home

[Anonymous]

I watched it, and the writers didn't work very hard to conceal that the school seems based on Sidwell Friends.

Bwahahaha.

Yes! I fear that a busload of SFS students will be kidnapped on a rural road. The most realistic part? That the FBI agent in charge will actually secretly be the mother of one of the kids - the one who is having an affair with her teacher. And that a parent will go out to some rural satellite dish field and destroy an American drone as it approaches the secret mansions where the kids are held.

So realistic! Like Scandal.

At least the affair wasn't with the school psychologist.

It does the cross the minds of children of prominent politicians/business people that they could be kidnapped or otherwise singled out for exploitation.

Crosses the minds of all parents, sherlock.

Not me. I must really be a nobody.

I watched it last night. I thought the writers were spot on with DC area parental attitudes and kids' sense of entitlement.

Another nobody parent here who doesn't spend a lot of time worrying that my kids will be kidnapped. Poor DC parents! The list of worries is so long: will Coco get into Princeton? Will Tripp be shut out of Prize Day? Will Maxwell be kidnapped on the way to lacrosse practice?

While I don't have statistical numbers readily available (and do not mean to make light of a horrible situation) I thinkit is safe to say that the vast majority of kidnapped children do not have high profile parents.

Terrorist attacks are a bigger, although still low probability, threat. Does the possibility of an asteroid hitting my kid cross my mind? Well it just did, but there's no point obsessing over it.

LMAO.

I have never once worried that my children will be kidnapped.

OP, from someone who as a family has had to deal with death threats, your post leaves me speechless, and not due to awe.

I'm with OP. I'm sure some master criminal will be copying this idea any day now.

A close friend has had death threats against her, her husband, and their children. Some not at all credible, and some terrifying. She spend years having security know everything about her family. Where she was, when she and her husband fought, and about what, everything. It's not funny, and it's nothing to write "LMAO" about. And, yes, "poor parents" is something that I think is a reasonable thought when you think of these families who are, really, always at risk in a way that most of the rest of us are not. Grow up.
