She disappeared 2 days after Will did. Judging from the very basis of Barb's character, people would know she wouldn't do that
I accept the writer's response on this. The whole story took place over a week and they couldn't fit her in. If you think about it, there really isn't much time to squeeze in Barb's parents, unless you put them in every time we see Mike's parents (forget squeezing her in with Winona, she was doing stuff), which doesn't really work that well either. The chief was barely in his office most the time, so that's really out too.
I noticed Barb got the shaft in the story, and so did every one else, so it sounds like they will write more about her in S2. But really, adding Barb's parents wouldn't have added a thing to the story, because we already had that viewpoint covered. It did make it fun to joke about though. "No one gives a shite about Barbs!"

I don't think "It takes place in a week" argument holds up. Surely Hopper would have had to have still talked with them. For god's sake he had to talk with the bully and his mother, surely he'd talk with another missing person's parents. She just wasn't hot enough to care.
What I think the writers mean to say is "this took place within 8 episodes and we didn't think it deserved airtime more than the stuff we actually filmed".

Yeah, its absolutely meme worthy.
