So called "72 hour game"

Krispie

This is wrong on so many levels. Just on RTE.ie now and another 2 "missing". Popping up every other day at this stage This is an absolute waste of resources, but what to do?

Basically the little sh1ts "disappear" for up to 72 hours and gain points in their stupid immature game. It clogs up the important news feeds and means the gardai have to spend time filing reports and following up leads......

I say file the report but before alerts are issued, research their social media threads and when located, up in front of the judge and off to Siberia for 6years, hard labour with no food/water and most severe of all, NO WIFI.........

Tl:Dr link. It's fake and has never been a proven thing.

This thread will probably be the genesis of an epidemic now, well done OP. It’s gonna be this years Killer Clown craze or Tide Pod Challenge. We used to just play kick-the-can or on the volley.

Hande hoche!

Happy slapping seems restrained in hindsight.

Stroppy teens did disappearing acts to piss off parents and came home again, nothing new here, only with social media you hear about it a lot more. Irresponsible yes, but until you find a cure for 'the teens' I guess it will continue.

It could be worse. Some 12 year old Aussie kid fleeced his mothers c card and ended up in Bali

geezus, Siberia seems a bit harsh....maybe Leitrim would suffice no?

I think there's a an old thread about this here. I'm pretty certain I read about it here. This is where I read about all the latest hysteria.

No food or water? Are they supposed to become hunter gatherers. I guess there's a reality tv series in that#
