There is a sister of our Penn State community missing right now, and nobody even cares. Yes, I can swallow the fact that this grand university has essentially ignored Cindy's disappearance, because Old State has its Happy Valley reputation to maintain. But to see this apathy coming from my fellow peers is unbearable, and at today's press conference organized by The Coalition to Find Cindy Song, my eyes were opened as to how apathetic this community really is. How can you sit and continue to eat your Chick-Fil-A fries in good conscience, while there is a mother weeping over her missing child, and an attorney vividly retelling an eyewitness account of someone seeing Cindy crying for help in a car days after her disappearance? What will it take for us to see that there is something seriously wrong here? What will it take for us to see that the negligence of the University, the FBI, and the local authorities is a direct threat to our very safety? What will it take for us to see that this is an issue we should all be concerned about? Will it have to take another missing student?

Realize this: it could have been YOUR mother pleading for your return today. It could have been YOUR sister vanished without a trace. It could have been YOUR best friend missing for three months.Open your eyes Penn State, because it could have been you.
