Thirdly, the article quotes local authorities stating that Baur handed Elijah over to Vang for 'discipline' without providing any context or clarification on what discipline means. Lastly, the article mentions a reward of up to $40,000 but does not provide any information on how this can be claimed.

Fallacies
