Way to jump to the extreme, she went to friends houses, whats the use of thinking the worst case scenario immediately??
If you believe in the power of words and thoughts, you are just giving more energy to negative incidents. Jump off the shock and awe bandwagon that our country is being ruined by. No need to keep creating more fear.

Why an 12 year old runs away from home raises red flags. That needs to be investigated. Maybe my family was an exception that none of my nieces or nephews nor any of my kids ever ran away or threatened to run away. This girl’s family raises suspicion. The law should state that parents are legally responsible for their children’s behavior. If she is victimized by a pedophile the parents should be held liable. I taught my daughters what to do if they were in the company of a pedophile and horny teenagers. We played role situations that my daughters had to perform to my expectations. My son had to attend also.

Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing that, Kym.
Running away can be for many reasons. You are now an even better role model for young people (and parents of them) to see that someone who did run away has lead an exemplary adult life, with a very healthy family and excellent community relationships.

And you neglected to say why you ran away. What were you running away from?

I ran away at age 7 because my teacher parents would not let me watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. I made it 3 miles south on Fieldbrook Road before I got scared and turned around. I found my two older sisters hiding in a ditch, who were sent after me to make sure I was safe.

Then as a teen, I was washing dishes when I decided to run away from home (my parents were very strict). It started to rain so I took it as a sign.

I believe in CA parents are responsible for a minor ( under age of 18) living at home with their parents.

I ran away because my mom didn’t like my new popular friend who drank, and smoked. All the boys liked her, and she was so cool!! I ran away to her house. I was pregnant a year later. I should have listen to my mother. There was nothing disfunctional about our family or how she raised us. Only disfunctional thing was I was a teenager and I knew better than my mother!

She’s 12. Leggings are appropriate for a kid her age. From the photo she looks dressed completely appropriate, like a kid. What should she wear? Amish clothes?

Glad to read that she is home! May her family be given all they need to work through this very difficult time and get the resources they need to address this.

Sad to say that in this day and age young teens are exposed to some harsh things in life.

In regards to penalizing parents whose child has been victimized by sexual predators, that is not a very well thought out proposition, unless it can be established that the parent allows access to their child.

Creepers use social media to find and groom their victims.

Family and family friends or other adults in the victim’s sphere of life can also take advantage of them.

By shaming victims and their families you push the incident into the closet and that does more harm than good in the very rough healing process from victim, to survivor, to over comer.

I know far too many folks, both men and women who are survivors of child predation.

Thankfully most have had supportive family and excellent after care to overcome childhood rape and exploitation.

Tragically I also know some who never got help and they struggle each and every day.

So please do not cast aspirtions, but send up healing thoughts and prayers for this family and all victims.

First of all I am so happy to hear that the young girl was found and that she realized that her family loves her.
Second of all I just had to say thank you for standing up for the parents of this young lady. In response to the very rude comment that was written earlier by a person who clearly had no right to say what they said about someone they do not even know.
Your comment was perfectly said.
Hopefully that person can be taught how to be kind to others.

This young girl is probably just wanting to party for the 3 day weekend without any body telling her NO! She needs some sever repercussions when she does go home. NO phone, NO computer, Drop off/Pick up from school, No friends over, No NOTHING…….Unless of course there are issues at home she is running from, that could be a whole other ball of wax. I hope she is just being a little SH** and there is not anything bad happening in her home.

Wow I’m very surprised by these insensitive comments. My step daughter ran away around that age. I was mortified. I called the police and we tracked her down and got her little in trouble butt home before anything terrible happened.

Kids/teens are just trying to find their way and learn independence and some of them make very poor choices despite their parents best efforts to guide them. As an adult I have seen and heard the unimaginable. I know the horrors that lurk out there for young girls, but when I was a young girl I did not understand the potentially terrifying consequences of my bad choices.

Hold your babies tight, make sure they know you love them, and they can call you no matter what has happened or what they have done. All you can do is teach them, love them, and hope for the best.

Prayers to this girl and her family. Her mother was obviously worried sick, to reach out and ask for help finding her daughter. Lift her up with light and love… she’s doing the best she can. All the harsh words and accusations are not needed.
