Yeah, her mom probably wrote the whole thing for her. At least her mom doesnt work at the checkout counter at the a p. Okay, next up is darren. Uh, mr. Carr . Yes . Can i go to the bathroom, please . Sure, eric. And dont forget to grab the hall pass. Okay. Hey, eric. Hey, mr. Roscoe. See you seventh period . Uh, yeah, see you. What happened here . Well, there was a struggle. The mirror got smashed. Kid got lifted. Hes 12 years old. His names eric miller. Looks like he resisted, huh . He grabbed on to the wall as he was being carried away. Unless thats the kidnappers blood. Well, forensics is fasttracking the analysis so. Tough job to pull off in the middle of a school day. Actually, theres two exits off that hallway. They both spill directly into the teachers parking lot. Hmm. Hall pass . Its been a while since you seen one of those, huh . So, who found this mess . One of the students, ten minutes after eric excused himself from history class. Pretty small window of opportunity. Whoever did this. Was waiting for their chance. Did you see anyone else in the bathroom . No. No. How bout on the way out . Was there anyone headed in . No. In the halls . No. Mr. Carr, was anything out of the ordinary going on . Anything bothering him today . Not that i noticed, no. Does he have any problems with anyone in the class . No. I mean, you know how kids are. They give it to each other a bit, but nothing serious. Hes a really sweet kid. Good student . Mostly cs, butbut he tries really hard. Did he seem scared about anything this morning . No. No . What did mr. Roscoe have to say for himself . Well, he didnt see anything out of the ordinary. He said eric seemed fine, and hed see him in english class later. What was he doing in the students bathroom . Well, he says the janitor was cleaning the teachers bathroom at the time. All right, check that and his alibi afterwards. Were doing background checks on all the teachers, too. Okay. These are the fingerprints of all the school staff. Have forensics run them against the prints found in the bathroom. Okay. What about the parents . Father works as a Sporting Goods manager in port jeff, and the mother works as a paralegal in the city. Not good candidates for ransom. No. Apparently, the boy stopped by the School Psychologists office this morning. He wanted to talk. Whatd the psychologist say . Shes out with the flu, but im told he was pretty upset she wasnt there. Maybe he knew something was going to happen to him. Maybe. Maybe he knew something was going hanes. A perfect fit for every body. Now in colorful new styles. Walter do you think it was someone at the school, a teacher . Jack well, were still in the preliminary stage of our investigation, so we have to consider every possibility. Now, um. It may not be obvious, but on a gut level, is there anyone at the school a teacher, personnel that makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable . No. What about outside the School Little league, markets . Dont you think i wouldve told you already. Dont you think i wouldve protected him if i did think that . Karen. Im sorry. Its fine. Was there any conflict with any other kids at school . No. Nothing serious. Any unusual behavior from eric . Has he been withdrawn, moody . Hes very moody. When we try to get him to talk about things, he either clams up or he bites our heads off. Do you think hes involved with drugs . No. Is there any indication that he was under duress or afraid of something . There was something yesterday. And what was that . I was going to take him to get a new computer. He was suppod to be home right after school. He walked in the door at 6 00 and had no explanation. Eric . Where have you been . Uh. Nowhere. What do you mean, nowhere . Weve been calling all over looking for you. I was with darren. We called darrens. He said he didnt know where you were. Did you forget we made a plan . Oh, im sorry. You realize i took off work early to take you for a new computer that you asked for . Yeah, i know. It doesnt seem very considerate, does it . No. Sowhere were you . I was at the arcade. Is that how you got your brandnew shirt so filthy . I played football at lunch today. Well, go upstairs and change and get ready for dinner. Ok. Im sorry. I dont know. We figured it was just eric being a kid. Have you washed that shirt yet . No, its in the laundry room. Would you mind getting it for me . Sure. Thank you. I understand that, uh. Your son sees the school psychologist. Yeah, uh. Its karens idea. Im not necessarily a fan of making him more selfconscious. Why do you think your wife wants your son to see the psychologist . Hes very bright, but he gets mostly cs, and, uh. We always. Have felt that hes underachieved. Plus, the moods. Has it helped . I dont know. I mean, wewe even took him to an outside specialist, you know, somebody the school recommended. The specialist meets with him for an hour and a half, then starts talking about this syndrome and that syndrome. And he wants to put him on ritalin. Karen wanted to do it, and i said no. Half the kids in that school are popping some kind of pills. And i dont want to. I dont want him to think theres something wrong with him, you know . I cant find the shirt, uh. Im going to check upstairs. Thanks. Walt . So what if he gets cs . I just want him back. sobs have you seen this kid . Im told he hangs out here quite a bit. Yeah, sure. He comes in here all the time. Did you happen to see him yesterday . I dont think so. Have you seen him at all recently . Maybe a couple days ago. Anything out of the ordinary . No. You ever see any adults hanging around with him . Whats this all about . We believe he was kidnapped this morning. You been here all day today . Since 8 00 this morning. Why . Im going to need to see your surveillance tapes as far back as they go. Faculty bathroom was being cleaned this morning, and roscoes alibi checks out. Three teachers saw him in the lounge at 9 15. Martin says that eric wasnt at the arcade yesterday, in which case he lied to his parents. Anything from the psychologist yet . Shes on her way in. I want to go and talk to some of his friends. Maybe somebody knows where he was yesterday afternoon. All right. Erics afraid of a lot of things, like most of these kids, but he never talked about anyone harming him physically. Are there any men in his life uh, teachers, coaches relationship with him . I havent seen any evidence to suggest that erics been abused, although he certainly has a very deep feeling of inferiority. Im a loser. Why do you say that, eric . Because its true. You see. I dont see you as a loser. No. You see how it is. Every day at lunch, i sit with darren and ivan, and were the losers. Billy and nat and those guys theyre the cool ones. And who decides whos cool and whos not . I dont know. Thats just the way it is. Have you always thought that you were a loser . No. I cant remember. So, you dont know when it started . No. Well, maybe fifth grade. Well, what happened in fifth grade . I didnt get invited to tommy hemrichs birthday party. And thats when you knew . Yeah, i guess. So now, if you were invited to a good party, would that mean you werent a loser anymore . No. Why not . I dont know. It seems like its pretty hard to get out of being a loser once youre in it. Do you talk to your parents about this . Why not . They just want to put me on drugs. Eric, thats not true. I heard them arguing about it, okay . Thats all they ever do, is argue about me. Eric, theyre. Look, i dont want to talk about this anymore, okay . Is there a problem at home . No. Its always easy to jump to the parents, but theres no evidence of that. And you recommend that he see an outside specialist . I didnt think he needed it, necessarily, but his mother was very concerned about him. Are you concerned about him . Its a tough age for all these kids. Theyre all struggling to find their place. One of the things these kids all have in common, even the popular ones, is they dont want their parents to know where they are in the social order, which leaves them feeling very alone. Right. I know who did it. You do . If i tell you, you have to promise not to say it was me who told. Sure, darren, of course. Yeah. It was Billy Hopkins and those guys. Is this billy someone in your class . No, no. Hes in the eighth grade. Hes always picking on us, especially eric. Picking on you how . I dont know. Talking trash on the bus, in the locker room. Did you see billy at school today . You know what . I dont think hes here. He could have been waiting for eric in the bathroom or something. All right, hold on a minute. Has billy ever been violent towards eric . I mean, beyond just talking trash . Thats what im trying to tell you. Last week he got us in that same bathroom. So brandi was over at your house yesterday . Yeah. Well, did you talk to her . No, she just goes up to my sisters room, and they hang out up there. Man, she is so hot. Whos hot . Your mama . I said whos hot, shmpy . Your mama . No. Your mama. Oh, ally . Time for a swirling. Hey no. On your knees. You like water, huh . You like water . Stop find out, huh . Huh . You like that, huh . You like that . You want a little bit more . No, no want a little bit more, huh, punk . groans tough guy. Throw him in there. Better tell your friend to watch his mouth. Theres a lot more where that came from. Why didnt you tell anybody about this . cause it only makes it worse. Worse how . Last year richie arwell told one of his teachers that he was having his lunch money taken away by manny revis and his friends. They called mannys parents and everything, and then everybody got on richie for being a snitch. Nobody would eat with him at lunch. It was like nobody even talked to him for the rest of the year. He ended up dropping out of school or moving or something. I cant believe how much time these kids waste talking to each other on the computer. What do you got there, erics emails . Uh, emails, instant messages. Mind you, this is just one weeks worth. Anything interesting . Well, apparently, he hates this kid billy, but looks up to him at the same time. I mean. Its weird how that works, isnt it . Yeah. So what about, uh, web sites, chat rooms anything pop . Nothing so far. Ill tell you, when i was this age, my parents never had to worry about me being exposed to these predators on the internet. I was too busy playing football in my neighbors yard. Yeah. When i was his age, i was, uh, just trying to stay out of jail. I mean, football would have been nice, but. Hey, here we go. Theres eric. Whoa. Okay, whens this from, yesterday . No, he wasnt there yesterday. This is the day before. Oh. Is this billy . No, its someone else. Whys this poor kid have so many enemies . [ hero mom ] oh, yeah.

I dont know. We know that he called her a dog. We also know that she got this picture of him and she sent it around to everyone. Oh, wait. A couple of days ago in the locker room, he was asking these weird questions. Hey, dawg, whats up . I heard you and amy were getting busy underneath the bleachers last night.

I have two daughters of my own about your age, and i know when theyre lying to me, and you are lying to me right now. Lisa, we know what he did must have hurt you, and you wanted to get him back, but you have got to tell us where this picture was taken and where he is. Dont know where it was taken. Somebody gave me theicture, and i sent it. Who gave it to you . I cant say. Why cant you say . Because if i tell, theyll all hate me. Whos going to hate you . The popular girls. So, one of the popular girls gave you this photo . Which popular girl gave you the photo . They told me to send it to the boys. Just tell me where the photo was taken. I dont know. They gave it to me. Thats all i know. Listen to me, lisa. If anything happens to eric, if he gets killed or hurt, im going to hold you personally responsible. Now, in order for me to find him and help him, i need to know who gave you that picture, or where it was taken. This is not open for debate. It was emily levine. Emily levine she gave it to me. Thats darrens twin sister. Thank you. Sam, we got forensics back on erics shirt. They found horse manure and equine feed on it. Stable . Come on. There arent any stables in queens. Are there .

But ive never seen this picture before in my life. Well, why would she lie, emily . Because shes a loser. Emily well, she is. Thats right. Shes a loser and youre one of the more popular girls. So why would she lie and say she gave you the picture when she knows its only going to create a living hell for her with you and your friends. Now, wait a minute. My daughter doesnt behave that way with other girls. We taught her that, and we dont tolerate it. With all due respect, mr. Levine i try to teach my daughters a lot of things, but they still seem to do what they want, especially when im not there to watch them. Emily and eric have known each other since second grade. Darren and eric are best friends. If emily knew anything about where eric was, she would tell us. Wouldnt you . Of course. I think this is over. She said she doesnt know. The beautiful girl with the pink helmet. Do you know something about this photo . That picre was taken here. Whatever it is, you dont need to be afraid, but i want you to tell the truth. Was it taken this morning, brandi . No. Yesterday. How do you know that . Because i was here when it was taken. Oh, brandi. It was emilys idea, not mine. We just wanted to teach him a lesson. A lesson for what . For being mean to lisa. Lisa . You and lisa arent even friends. Well, that doesnt matter, does it . Eric was an easy target, and now you had a good excuse to have some fun. Right . He called her a dog. It wasnt right. So this was revenge . Brandi, its time you tell us exactly what happened, okay . All right. I told him to meet me here after school. For a date. I said that i wanted to fool around, but that i was embarrassed. So i told him to take off his clothes and id come back in a minute. Uh, brandi . Im ready. Ill be right there. Okay, noi want to do something to you. Okay. I want to tie you up. Tie me up . Yeah, sure. Havent you ever seen a porno . Uh, yeah. Then lie on the ground. Okay. Put your arms over your head. Ow.

How long did the whole thing last . I dont know. Maybe an hour. Then we got bored. You got bored. So you untied him, and you let him go. Well, we untied him, but he didnt really move. We tried getting him up, but he just rolled over and wouldnt look at us. I was getting kind of worried, but it was getting dark, so we took off. Then i saw him this morning in class. He seemed okay. Im sure he was perfect. Mrs. Case, i suggest you take your daughter home and you have a nice, long conversation with her. Believe me. We will. Danny i just dont get these kids.

I know girls. Okay . What those girls did to eric yesterday that was the master plan. No way they were coming back with Something Else today. I know it.

What . Thats it. Thats it. What if no one attacked him in the bathroom . What, you think he broke the mirror himself . Think about this for a second. Okay . Hes been picked on for months. He feels like the biggest loser in the world already, then this happens. Then hes got to go into that classroom, face those girls, look at them in the eyes while they laugh at him. Then, he walks into the bathroom and he looks at himself. If i was him id want to break that mirror, too. Okay, okay, but how about the bloody handprint .
