16-Year-Old Hailey Burns Disappeared For 399 Days Before Being Found In The House Of A 31-Year-Ol…

He probably had frequent migraines because of it

[@fizarrah]

That part confused me. Why did he have to get lasik, why not just new contacts? Did They literally dissolve into his eye ball skin or something? I mean I wear contacts and I've cried a lot, swam in pools, taken baths, showers, swam in oceans, swam in lakes, and even open my eyes under water and they never just dissolved. If anything they just get blurry and foggy, and I had one rip in my eye once but I just took both parts out. I just don't understand..

Chesca Rodriguez C, yeah with discord, tik tok, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. it’s extremely dangerous for kids. I feel like talking to someone when playing a game together is ok. However, when they start asking to send pictures, names, and addresses, cut contact off and never speak to them again. A parent should talk to their kid about meeting people online and what information and red flags to look out for.
