Are those family pictures with the girl & mother at the beginning taken in the UK/ Ireland? Really lovely place 😍.
Glad this broad was found.
Why does the poster say last seen 01 /05/ 24? Makes no sense ?
Where is her father?
In 2003, my 15 year old daughter asked me to take her to the mall. She was meeting a man she had been talking to online who said he was an artist. He was on his way somewhere else and wanted to stop to meet her. I said okay, I'll take you, but I will sit at another table while you talk. She was really mad at me. When he saw me, he suddenly had someplace else to be. I was lucky my daughter told me what was going on in her life (most of the time) or she could have been another statistic.
lol ur bird noises scared tf out of me. I have birds & cats and you made me think a bird got out I fr got up to check and make sure the bedroom door was still shut lolll
She is already sucked into the human trafficking world
Why should there be less urgency in the case of a runaway? Just because a child leaves her home voluntarily doesn't mean she's safe!
She is a beautiful young girl that what 30 year old was praying on it’s crazy
Her mom and dad should of been checking who this girl was talking to talk to her friends then they would have a better understanding why that girl meet that guy I don’t get why parents don’t check what these kids are talking to
I feel for this mother, this is every mother of a teen. Trying to keep our children safe in every way possible. 😢😢 Such a scary world on the internet. 🙏🏻
The internet is not a good thing. Something has to change. Florida just made it illegal for kids under 16 to have social media accounts. That is a good start.
14? She could pass for 20.
Now the mother have to hire a hacker justifying her daughter that only way and she leave me a digital footprint online
She’s found safe❤❤ her aunt made an update video on TikTok!
what is a normal teen issue with a child that left home with older man.
She's Gone ,sad 😮
Keith Freeksen is the S.O.
Mount Vernon High School computers are not monitored nearly as much as they should be. This is an issue that we faced with our son. Sadly, as much as parents try to parental block things the school is not as diligent as they could be.
She was out snooping around with older men, she made this decision
Lmao she was out whoring around
FBI??? Why didnt she give up the electronics to the FBI right at the beginning? Obviously cops dont care
She was found “unharmed.”
Sounds like it’s time for another round of Vigilante justice, someone bail out Sean Connery Flowers.
UPDATE: She was found on February 1st in Michigan at a 30 year old man’s home, only being referred to as Keith right now.
I’m glad she’s been found I hope she is okay.
Praying for a safe return home ….. may God protect her and surround her with guardian angels.
So glad she has been found! Horrible circumstances, but she is alive. I hope she recovers from this.
Wonder how long creep dude was working her online and how he lured her, for all we know he was catfishing her with some random teen dude's pictures and pretending to be 16 or something
This kids get tricked in thinking they have found the love of their lives believing that we the parents just want to ruin their fun and keep them from having what they deserve. They just can't understand that what they're being told by these people online are such horrible lies! I think schools need to have more kids that have survived trafficking that have survived being tricked online because kids don't listen to no One But other kids no matter what statistics we the parents show our children they just don't listen I think that kids that have survived online predators could reach out and get through to kids otherwise we're just going to keep losing them! I know what it's like to be a mom of a teenage female and immediately when they don't get what they want they think it's worst case scenario and we're out to ruin them instead of the complete opposite that it's just protecting them is all we want!! I shared her story here in the Cincy Ohio area! Stay strong Mom
Lord had mercy
😭😭😭😭 oh my god …
This mom didn’t do this WTH y’all🙈🙈🙈
Did they find the body yet? lol
She knew what she wanted.
Shes getting it.
She was found safe in Michigan!!!! Her “online friend “ is now in jail!
She was found safe in South Haven, Michigan!!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
