Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

Elizabeth’s Fragile State of Mind

When a person has experienced childhood trauma they are very vulnerable and susceptible to being influenced by those around them. Dr. Janet Rosenzweig, Executive Director of the American Professional Society of the Abuse of Children, told People, “When you have parents who aren’t parenting their child correctly, whether they’re abusive or not, when parents don’t adequately prepare their kids to navigate this crazy period of life called adolescence, they’re incredibly vulnerable.”

A lucky kid will find a mentor in a responsible and trustworthy adult. Elizabeth, however, connected with a child predator. Rosenzweig explained that when this happens, “we end up with tragedy.”
