I have no idea how to edit on here so I thought I’d call attention to the words “what an a hole” that are at the end of the first paragraph under Kidnappings. 2601:404:CC00:1570:0:0:0:88ED (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

That content was added not long ago and has now been removed. Thanks for letting us know. - Aoidh (talk) 22:22, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
