Missing 16 year old...please read! Update Post 133 - Found

1,296 1,785 April 16, 2011 at 04:03 PM in Chat Get Facebook Marketplace coupons
Hello, everyone. My daughter's friend is missing. From all reports, she ran away with her boyfriend on Monday, April 11. The last message that she left said that she was going to shut her phone off and throw it out the car window. That call was placed in Fond du Lac, WI.

I know this is a HUGE site and gets a lot of traffic, so I'm asking if everyone could keep an eye out for her car. It is a light green 2006 Ford Focus, Wisconsin plate 842 KDV.

Casey is 5'6, medium to thin build with shoulder length dark hair. Kris (her boyfriend) is 17 years old, a bit taller with shoulder length blonde shaggy hair. He is running away from legal trouble (I don't know what kind of trouble) but it should be noted that he stole a car 2 years ago and was found in New Mexico after 2 days. Because of that fact, they could be anywhere.

If you see them or their car, please call the police.

Here [facebook.com] is a link to a facebook page her mother created. It contains photos and more information.

Thank you for reading! I know her mother is frantic, and we are trying to get the message out so hopefully she can be brought home safely.

The "right" was directed at you. The rest was me agreeing with you.

Quote from Curtieson :
I am all about parents parenting and taking responsibility for what they have brought into the world, but you can't control their every thought.
What does controlling her every thought have to do with looking for her when she runs away?

Apples/oranges.

As for your spoiler - What she does in college in a year or two is again - irrelevant.


Quote from Curtieson :
Sorry I have to be the one to say it...but Harsh Reality ahead...she doesn't even miss you all enough to even simply call and doesn't want to come home.
Irrelevant.

Who cares if she misses them or not? It doesn't matter.

The best argument you two can come up with is - "She doesn't want to"?

Really?

WHO CARES WHAT SHE WANTS? Her parents are legally responsible for her. What she wants is...


IRRELEVANT!

Stimpy...I am so sorry you are going through this. I was a pretty crazy kid myself growing up, and I still have guilt for what I put my mom through. She died when she was 49...there weren't nearly enough years to tell her how sorry I was. Keep your chin up and know that you're doing the right thing. :hugs: to you, my friend.

Nightstorm is a fantastic idea. I'm calling them now.
We had a long talk this weekend ... baby steps.

Actually, I was WAY worse than her, (I stressed to her that that was not a challenge .. laugh out loud ) I know I'm being paid back ... I was hell on my parents and I am keeping that very much in mind - I am trying to remember things from the other side. ... but this is not about me Embarrassment

In the end, I guess yes...that is my point...

This girl is throwing a tempertatrum (sp?), rolling on the ground in the middle of WalMart and the mom just got on the PA and asked everyone if they can somehow make her stop and get her back into the cart...and then called the cops.

tempertatrum, rolling on the ground = driving away in her car
WalMart = Wisconsin, greater midwest
PA = Facebook
Everyone = The Internet
Cops = Cops

I am saying the mom shouldn't have gotten on the PA to say she didn't know what to do with her daughter if she didn't want people to give her dirty looks.

No, this mother is responsible for her child. The child ran away. The mother wants her back, but doesn't know where to find her, so she's asking for help.

If you want to use a Walmart analogy, at least use accurate logos. It's more like:

Girl saw a shiny object (boy).
Mom turned.
Girl was gone.
Mom can't find girl.
Mom got on PA and said, "Anyone seen my girl? I can't find my girl. Please help me find my girl. She's not legally old enough to be on her own. By the way, she's with a boy who is also...not legally old enough to be on his own."


Then, to take it a step further, some "customers" said, "I don't care about your missing girl." (Fine...those people should probably just walk away then.)

Other customers said, "Not only do I not care about your missing girl, but I'm going to bark at you about why you shouldn't be looking for her, instead of being helpful, or just shutting up."

I like your story too, haha. But again...in your story the girl doesn't realize the pain they are bringing to their mother. There is innocence in them getting lost, it was a mistake that they often forget (and end up standing around crying for their mommy)

When you are throwing a fit (like in my story) you realize you are bringing them distress but she'll do it anyway because she wants her own way.

And again, it's irrelvant to whether or not her mother should be looking for her.

Quote from stimpy :
We are having issues with our daughter right now ... serious enough that it is possible that she could run away ... likely because she's boy crazy (HLIM should be able to relate Stick Out Tongue )

Not because we beat her - we did not.
Not because we abused her - we did not.
Not because of what we are or are not doing - but rather because we are choosing to be parents and her friends parents want to be "friends" and let there kids go to night clubs at 15 and who knows what else ...

Kids do not have the same rights as adults.

I am in Wisconsin, south of FDL - I have shared the story - we are keeping an eye out... but my guess is that she is long past this area ... One idea - have someone check NightStorm in Waukesha - it's Friday night underage club that get pretty wild - there's a chance they would check out a place like that. The place might even agree to watch IDs for her.
Yep. We were afraid my sister was going to run away. She took off one day after a big fight with my parents to stay with her boyfriend (who also still lived with his parents).

She didn't do it because she was abused, mistreated, or anything like that. She had tunnel vision - and that's really the only reason. One of those situations where she wanted to do something, and mom said "No".

People don't always run away because their life is horrible. They sometimes do it because they don't see the world like adults do.


Hopefully this girl will wake up and smell the roses, and come home. hug

What all of this boils down to, is that these are two teenagers and neither probably has much life experience; most don't at that age. (Notice I said most, not all). They are vulnerable to con artists and thieves. Irregardless of whether anyone agrees or disagrees with the methods of the parents, it sounds as though neither teen has the skills (or the money?) to strike out and start a new life. Do you know if either has access to money? How are they eating, paying for gas, getting a shower, etc? They can sleep in the car, but they can't eat it. When you are tired, hungry, sleepy, or scared for a long enough period of time, you can revert to measures which are normally outside of your personality. Even if they are the most responsible teens ever and are behaving as model citizens, they are open prey for freaks and deviants that prey on the innocent. Many kids leave home for whatever reason and are never heard from again. As a parent, I would be frantic with fear and yes, I might behave irrationally. I think that everyone can argue the motives of the parents and the teens until "the cows come home", but it doesn't keep two young people safe from their own well- intentioned, but possibly misguided decisions or the the scum that lurks out on the road.

Also - look for friends of hers that have parents that think like some of the people posting in this thread ... that this girl has a right to do what she wants. There are those parents that would think they are just "letting her stay with them" they think they are "keeping her safe" or justify it like some of the twisted comments in this thread.

Look for the kids that do what they want - find someone their age to keep their ears open ... people with misguided intentions are usually pretty loose lipped. There is a good chance they're staying with friends if they really don't have any money.... and there are parents that would let them - this thread is all the proof you need.

So true, all of it. There is reason to believe that his friend knows where he is, but is not cooperating with police. Here [myspace.com] is his myspace page. I am wondering if the 70+ thousand people on Casey's page started helpfully emailing and calling/texting him if he'd get sick of it and give them up.

I hope that's the case and that he does know where she is. I think that would be very good. I'd like to think she's somewhere with friends.
