Missing Teen Sends Letter to Mom 5 Years Later, Revealing She’s Still Alive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2018
- Prayers were finally answered for the family of a teenager who has been missing for the last five years. Emily Paul was just 14 when she vanished from her home outside Tallahassee, Florida, in 2013. She recently sent her family a letter telling them she was alive and well but would not reveal her whereabouts. Her cousin, Melissa Parker, told Inside Edition the family “never gave up hope.” “She's alive, that is the best thing that could have possibly happened,” Parker added. #InsideEdition
I find it interesting how the mom isn’t the one doing the talking, but a cousin is… biggest red flag of them all, sounds like the girl made the right choice.
mhm
Maybe they're dead too 🤷♀️ ynk
Maybe the mom is so heartbroken she did not want to be videotaped.
I don’t know, she waited till she was 19yrs old to come forward. Sounds like she is involved with a man and I she had of come forward when she was a minor, he would of went to prison, she is protecting him. When a girl/woman make a statement I’m happy, it’s a guy (“happy” in her situation).
GOD ITS LIKE YOU READ MY MIND. Great minds think alike 😊
Her cousin is clearly okay with this because she probably knew more on why she left.
yeah she deffo had a really bad childhood
She may have even helped her get away to a safer place.
Might have been her uncle
@Emma Hart she would have probably gone back to her family if she was kidnapped
Unless...
*Stockholm syndrome be like*
@@feesh9977 Ikr?!! Like SOOO many holes in this story. It almost feels criminal to just let this go.
The fact that the cousin is doing the interview, and not the immediate family, says a lot.
I am glad she got away from it. Lots of teens would not be able to of done that.
That's what I immediately thought too. I know how hard it is to get away from an abusive and controlling home life only to have your abusive parents trying to use the law to hunt you down. Pretty typical to have a nonthreatening family member reach out to try and make you feel guilty for leaving. My parents tried through my brother and various aunts and uncles but I left at 17 and never looked back. I'm 40 now and have made my own family and don't regret a thing about leaving home as a teen.
The family does not know! How could the family come here with a interview, if they do not know?
@Susan Kirksey "3 weeks before the interview a letter arrived addressed to Emily's mother".
Susan Kirksey….
Lady…the video is only 2 minutes long yet you somehow missed the VITAL detail that the daughter sent a note. They DID know.
Pay attention before trying to start a conversation with the rest of the adults. >|>
The fact that the cousin is there doing the interview, and not the mother and immediate family, speaks volumes. Clearly, there’s a lot more to the story than just “a teen ran away from home.”
When I was 18, I moved outta my mother’s apartment and joined the military, and haven’t talked to her since. That was in 2001. I completely understand this woman not wanting her family to know where she now lives, even if I don’t know the full story of why.
Nope. That's it.
Well idk the story but it could also be that she just doesn’t want to be on camera I mean I wouldn’t want to either
her pictures with them says otherwise though.. If she was my sister and there was no reason for her to run away, I wouldn't bother with her anymore..
Sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine being that young and having no immediate family to support you. Without being too nosy, did your mother ever try to reconcile with you and apologize for past problems?
@@roems6396 She’s tried to talk to me, but has never apologized for her actions. She doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong, from what I can tell. I won’t go into detail, but all I will say is that a parent is supposed to love and provide for their children. Any “parent” that does anything besides that is wrong.
Either she had a horrific home life she doesn't want to go back to or she is under someone's control. Too many loose ends.
Agree
Or just a typical little Emo kid who ran away to drugs got pregnant on welfare and wants to be left alone
I agree
Either her family was awful or she's been brain washed. I can't see a 14 year old not reaching out until now only to say I'm here but leave me alone. 19 is consenting but to what?
She didn’t even explain what happened to her during those 5 years
I left home at the age of 17. My mom was very abusive. She did not hear from me for 10 years and she did not even look for me. I was finally free.
i am very happu for you.
May God's love, peace & happiness always be with u...u came this far & I know u will be a great parent one day also an inspiration for many others, stay blessed.
I'm sorry you have such a crappy mom. I have a borderline mother so I can somewhat relate but I think my mom would look for me even though I don't think she loves me the way a mom should. I hope that if one day you have children, you give them everything your mom didn't give you and your kids will always want to be with you. May God bless and heal you.
Right there with you Sarah. Left when I was 16. 47 now and still have nightmares at times.
@@yvettenazareth1879 We survived and we learned how children should not be treated!
She obviously left by choice and probably had very good reasons. I left home at 12 and supported myself for several years (I had a job and rented a room from a friend) and I didn't return home until I was 17 and heard my dad was in the hospital. I lived with them for about 6 months to care for my father (who was an awesome and good man), but my mom quickly reminded me of why I left in the first place. I moved out again and have only seen my parents twice in the past 20 years. I keep in touch with my dad by calling his work phone, we just don't tell my mom lol.
Wow! How do you leave home at 12 and support yourself? I would be so scared.
Wait im curious how do you support yourself?
I'm sorry your mother was that traumatic for you. Every child deserves a mother who loves them and isn't abusive. Glad you separated from her.
@@Maui_Gyrl_You would be scared? How do you know if you didn’t do it? I left my home when I was 14
“Had a job” lol riiiiight. You mean you were getting pimped out.
I have a feeling that cousin helped her leave that home. Knowing she doesn't want her family to know her whereabouts definitely says something. I don't think she was kidnapped because she walked in the police station but I think the family did something to her for her not wanting them to know her whereabouts
Then why did the cousin not know what happened to her?
@@saraschneider6781 ever heard of lying/covering up?
@@voidweaver8333 ever hear of strangers lying about a case they don't know jack about?
@@saraschneider6781 this is also true
@@voidweaver8333 duh. That's why I said it.
“im where i wanna be” something is wrong with the family, they did something to her. no one would run away then not want to come back
man i have a feeling she was kidnapped and someone wrote/told her to write that. so many probabilities
@@daniellavanessa6392 yes that makes sense
Or maybe she wants to live without the rules most people have for their teenagers.
@@milfermz4091 I certainly wasn't trying to approve or condone her running away. I mentioned "rules most people have for their teenagers" as indication that maybe she was carrying rebellion beyond the norm. When I was still in my teens, I knew some teenagers that had perfectly nice parents but wouldn't stay home.
@@cat54mom oh right, i totally see what you mean. yes, that’s very understandable.
So No one gonna question if she she's being held captive?

There is a saying that you can never find somebody who doesn’t want to be found ! Peace be to you .
As the family member of a missing man I have to say I’m extremely happy for her!
Hope you find him
Maybe she was being abused by someone in the family and didn't want anyone to know she was alive until she was old enough to not get sent back.
True I would’ve done that in this situation
I wouldn't run away I would see someone who can deal with the issue
Bingo!
Spot on
@@k6ix_999 you have no idea what it's like to not get help
“Emily doesn’t want her family to know her whereabouts” usually when a teenager runs away and says that as an adult it means her home life was not good or safe.
Or whoever has her (if someone does) they forcing her to write that and say that.
She was probably kidnaped
not always the case
@@animeuniverse5586 true, i left that way
No
This story reminds me of hay half sister who ran away when she was 14 years old. We didn’t know what happened to her for months. My family figured she probably ran away to be with her biological father but they didn’t tell me that. At the time, I was just 9 years old and didn’t realize my dad wasn’t her dad. My dad adopted her before I was even born.
I remember being traumatized and furious with my sister for not letting me know she is okay. I had no idea what happened to her for almost 2 years. It was awful.
When did she come back? How is your relationship with her now?
I’m so happy for her. I’m relieved she’s ok! Literally the most HEINOUS things could’ve happened to her out there alone as a teen!
I’m sorry, but this is sending up red flags.
Why bruh
@@lmao9526 You slow af
@@twiceisgey9536
Some people do run away from their homes. I know some teens over the internet who formed a runaway group on reddit because they had abusive homes. Look at r/runaway. Thousands of teens intentionally run away from their homes
Agree she obviously in the local area or surrounding area to see the police officer video . Yet no one ever spotted her . True how they mentioned she had braces she has to have dental records. She would have to be in legal custody of someone or using false identification of someone’s . If she was molested by a family member why reach out to mother after all these years ? Yet doesn’t want her to know her location ? It all seems shady !
@@vsgplusme7314 she reached out to her cousin...didn’t hear them say mother.🤷♀️

Mark C yup agreed
@@2sh0t61 yoooo you spell your name with a Q too??? I dont have it as my UA-cam name but everywhere else I'm Marq
@Nyesha Harris sadly that is very possible
Yeah
Exactly. Either her home life was really bad for her to just up and leave like that without leaving as much as note or anything, or she did leave not under her own free will and was made to go to the station and say she was ok under duress. A hypothetical kidnapper had all that time to traumatize/brainwash/threaten her. I hope the officer who interviewed her at least asked for her current location and looked into her social-economic status/situation to see if she had like a job, spouse, friends, home, etc to make sure she was telling the truth.
She doesn’t want them to know for a reason
It takes courage to run away from a bad situation. It makes you grow up fast and it leaves scars. It takes time but those scars heal! She must be living her best life now!
either that family did something to her or she’s being held against her will. they never said a reason for her leaving. what an odd case
alina Her mother never appears. No father either. No message from either as well. The only one who appears to care is a cousin? Geeze. Sounds like my family of origin. 🙄
She walked into a police station. She's fine.
@@awesomebagel9806 There have been human trafficking cases where the captors have coerced the victim to make people believe that she/he is alive and well and doesn't want to be found, they threaten the by telling them that their family will be murdered if anyone finds out. This at times ends the search for the victims.

I don’t think everyone is a detective so like…
Really? What's your theory, cadet? Got any leads?
Whimsy
Unfortunately no,
I’m a bad detective
But everyone else in the comments seems to be figuring it out
Glad the family got closure, the not knowing is what would tear you apart.
What a beautiful young lady I really hope she gets home soon ❤️
Kidnapper: Write a letter to your mother saying that you're happy and that you're never coming back.
I love diet clorox. I drink it every day
Also kidnapper: walk into that police station and tell them that you're okay, but dont say a peep about your kidnapping
Cody Johnson pretty sure if she went to the police station she would tell them she’s not safe and they would keep her on lockdown
@@BmwMe-uh9sy brainwashed
Bmw M3 e46 the joke totally went over your head bro
When your family is horrible, it is ok to separate yourself from them.
Yes
Mhm.
Yes, but tell someone you trust that you're ok.
Hell Yeah, but keep your doors open for help, from a fair distance.
What's kind of weird about this is there's an Emily Paul that was accused of coercing her boyfriend into killing his baby over in Missouri and she looks strikingly familiar to this girl so I'm kind of curious on that
Poor Emily. How tough did things have to be to runaway at just 14? Glad she's safe ❤
Could be she is protecting whoever took her or whoever has kept her. 💔🌹
She had braces when she left ? A dentist would of had to take them off just wondering dental records had to exist
Michelle Wells my sister took hers off with pliers so..i guess she could’ve done that?
U smart bruh🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯

This is sending up SO many red flags. The cousin wasn't even shocked. What the hell.
Edit: Yes, it wasn't the mom. Oh, and this is my most liked comment. Thanks.
That's her cousin. But commenters agree there must have been something terrible going on at home.
@@missfit4943 that was _not_ her mother in the video it was her _cousin!_ 😑
Bro if she did something wrong why would she go on live television then? A smart criminal would hide this under the rug.
@Phasma No, no they wouldn't.
@@missfit4943 My daughter tells me she is 19 all the time. Basically saying, I am an adult now, not saying this is how old I am.
I did the same when I was younger...has to get away from all the abuse I went through. Good for her. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made
Whatever happened, I really hope the girl is okay where she is. Stay strong, keep healing and I wish for the best for the girl ❤️
Being held hostage and maybe Stockholm syndrome or horrible childhood
Thx for the likes.
I agree with Stockholm, she was possibly held captive during the most hormonal years of her life with presumably no social interaction.
But, why would she get in touch with her family? If she was under someone's control, why would she walk into a police station ALONE and tell the detective that she's happy and safe? If she was being held, her letter would have been more like a ransom note. She didn't ask for anything. In fact, she asked that they stay away. For that matter, why write at all if you want to be left alone?
@@jimfinigan1681 they may have wanted the case to be closed without any questions. there may be motives beside money and Stockholm syndrome is a likely possibility

In the letter the missing daughter tells her mom "I'm 19"
Like her mother would forget. Sounds fake.
Reminding her mother she can’t force her home
I think she was suggesting that she was legally able to stay away.
Rubbish. Children and teenagers always state their age to reinforce why they think they're old enough to do something. In this case it's "I'm over 18, you can't make me go back."
@@Jen-cc9xk How do you know she wasn't forced to do this by her captor? How do you know that the woman who came forward wasn't a lookalike? If I were her mother I would not be satisfied with any of this.
She was just letting her Mom know that there is nothing she can do about it lol IMO
I left home at 15 and never went back
We're definitely missing something from this story. 😕
There has to be a reason she doesn’t want them to know about where she is. She was running from something clearly.
There’s a theory that she’s with a grown man and that if he comes Forward he will be sent to prison. There’s also another theory that her family was abusive
@@Jake0666 there's one more theory that she is under someone's control but it's vague and prolly not true as that someone wouldn't let her go to the police risking her getting caught, the most likely theory is that she is with someone and is happy, and doesn't want anyone to know abt it
@@sravanthch2879 ya it’s possible she’s under someone’s control
@@Jake0666 Here is another theory. She is just a selfish girl who left her family just because she wanted to live with freedom. A lot of teens run away from home just because of that reason.
@@user-ws1tg7jm1j But it's at 14 for 5 years?! Someone would've seen her. Something bigger is definitely going on.
Sounds like there's something major and unforgivable that the cousin doesn't know about. It's telling that they didn't interview Mom they interviewed the cousin.
Yes, I thought the same. Someone in a few other comments said she was gay and the mother didn't approved because she is religious

@@kirkir6990 Bruh that’s a hoax.
It’s because her mom was a drug addict and that wasn’t her mom it was her cousin so it makes sense
I think she just wanted to get away from a toxic and/or abusive family
I cannot agree with you more.
I don’t see why she would have to tell her own mother “she’s 19” now. I’m pretty sure her mother KNOWS THAT. #redflag!
I thought that was bizarre.
14 + 5=19
I take it you dont have kids, or if you do you dont care about them. Mothers love is unconditional, mothers hurt too. You sound like a selfish teenage girl off the Springer show.
dibgirr yeah but that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying the mom would already know that their own daughter is 19 years old so it’s weird that she put that in the letter
Everyone just assumes the mom wasn’t a scumbag who the daughter the daughter is trying to escape from
As a child who separated herself from her family at 14 myself its not something easy or what any 14 yr old wants to do so her family life had to have been so horrible
Hugs, dear.
Good for Emily! She gives closure and continues on with her life!
As a former runaway. There’s got to be more to this story. A reason behind why she doesn’t want her family to know her whereabouts. Sadly the way it comes off, she probably went thru some type of abuse and she was brave enough to get away from it. Something most kids can’t do.
Yeah I think that she probably escaped from abuse and is hopefully living somewhere safe now.
i agree
@Kyle Cameron My sister did the same as you at 16. Ran away and moved in with older kids to party and drink and do drugs. My mom wasn't even controlling. She just wanted what any parent wants, and that's for their kid to stay in school and do good. If a kid runs away, it's not always because their a nasty abuser.
Maybe...hmmm...there has to be more to this story
Possibly but I doubt it
If she tells anyone who she's with, they'll be charged with kidnapping a minor.
Exactly. She would harm the people who helped her.
Yeah, but what if the "kidnapper" was just interviewed, sending her cousin love and well wishes?
Perhaps but there’s also the chance she ran away from abusive parents
not for kidnapping a minor lol, kidnapping is kidnapping
@@MassMeme Technically. But being kidnapped out of a worse situation is usually preferable. This seems like it was worse. I ran away from trafficking as a teenager and those people could 100% have been charged with harboring a minor, if you were going off just what they were technically doing.
There's gotta be sooo much more to this story

Austin Massey l
sounds like you didnt get the picture at all
Austin Massey true 😞
I am glad that she was safe happy and alive
I remember seeing picture up at the local Walmart in Miami. She seemed so sad in the photo. I really hope she’s happy and doing well.
She said she didn't want her family to know her whereabouts; that doesn't mean the cops didn't follow up and investigate.
I’m hoping the cops didn’t just take her statement to them at face value. Surely, they asked for more detail from her; with the assurance they wouldn’t release her reasons/living situation to the public.
I mean ultimately if someone walks into a police station and says I am happy and safe and don’t want my family to know my whereabouts, there is little the police can do.
Ya, probably to protect them from her kidnappers. Her eyes tell everything if you look closely. She is not happy & looks completely broken in that picture w/the dog
@@cubemissy Unfortantly some cops do. I had a friend that was being controlled by her boyfriend. When the cops couldn't do a home welfare check they asked her to come to the police station. She went in singing her boyfriend's praises and saying everything was perfectly fine. Two days later he beat her to death and ran. It took another week for cops to find her when they did a house welfare check when her family didn't hear from her.
of course
Man, she must of had a rough patch with her family before her disappearance and not wanting her family to know where she is.
Ye
Right.
She could have had a very bad relationship with her family, like her mother being a controlling person. We may never know. However she did let the police know she was safe and happy. That’s all that matters at this point in time.

@@marcodafoo6148 i honestly think that is what happened tbh
This worries me. I seen a documentary of a man & his wife who kept a girl captive for years, but they entirely brainwashed her. Years later they let her go see her family, but had her convinced they were watching her & if she told them anything out of the way then they would kill her entire family. (Which wasn't true but she believed it after being brainwashed) So she made up a lie that she was happy with her life & just didn't want anyone to know where she lives. I'd hire a private investigator, just to be sure. 😕 so hope that isn't this case
@@audreyfurmage3665 I totally agree especially considering the fact that she doesn't want her family knowing her whereabouts. Honestly, there's something fishy about that.
Most teenagers whether they were kidnapped or however they vanished; once they call their family, most kids whether adult or not would be willing and want to reconnect with their family where they'd either take a plane or road trip home (depending on where she is currently living and how far it is)...but they wouldn't hide there whereabouts from family unless they were in danger meaning whoever this girl might be with could be controlling her. She probably doesn't have the freedom to be able to fly home no matter how much she may want and he/she could be threatening her. There could be a chance that whoever she is with allowed her to write a letter to her mother and allowed to come forward at a police station, but could have threatened her that they would kill her if she told her family where she was living and who she was living with.
There's more to the story than we realize.
Breanna Sizemore what’s it called? X

The fact that she doesn't want to reunite with them is very telling for either child abuse or witnessing her parents doing something that was so horrible she can't stand to be around them ever again. The police should investigate her family.
My heart breaks for that family. Thank God that she's alive though. I hope that she's doing well.
Imo either she’s being trafficked and has to say that or there was something happening to her within the family to where she felt she needed to disappear for years
How about the obvious fact that she ran away and didn’t tell anyone until they could no longer legally compel her to return to her family?

If she was trafficked she definitely wouldn't be sending anyone letters. Especially ones saying she's ok.

Only a couple reasons (that I can think of..) why she might have left:
• Abused/Neglected (By family)
• Abducted and Brainwashed (Either by stranger or convinced by a significant other)
• Just being rebellious..

caitlyn_ Peck that’s because you’re not an abusive parent like her mom.
I researched it and it turns out it wasn't abuse. She was lesbian and her family was homophobic and she had a girlfriend who she ran away with

Nicole Marly probably
You can't just assume such things. Yes, there is a possibility that the family was abusive, but the only thing that supports that theory is that she ran away, nothing else. The family might've been amazing, caring and loving, you don't know that they weren't, nor do you know that they were.

Regardless of why she left, I'm really glad she's alive and safe.
I believe that is how her mother feels. Perhaps dad was too strict.
And "HAPPY"!
Who knows if she's actually safe and happy. She could have been brainwashed by someone for years and now she's living
a life she's scared to escape. If she was only fourteen when she left it's likely an adult had to have take her in which would be considered kidnapping. No doubt they worked her mind. I doubt I she's truly safe.
It's good of her to reach out, gives hope to other families that their loved ones simply left of their own volition and could lead a happy life.
Omg that is so sad
So should I be more surprised that she’s alive or that a teenager is writing letters?🤔
Andrew Glinski she didn't have A phone
Why do I keep seeing you? You might keep seeing me too, replying ;-;
Roses In one how do you know?
Andrew Glinski :)
LOL 😂 but seriously it’s heartwarming to hear a story without a tragic ending for a change. These days, with so many missing young people, I’ll take what I can get.
Wait, so why did she leave?
Pixelchu hmmmmmm
Ask her
@@dockbuckyballz she had to choose the perfect candy
She and mum had a fight and had to run the hell out of there
Write her a letter
I am not sure how accurate the article that i read is but supposedly she answered the captains call's and showed up at the police department in order to close the case. (Source: AmoMama news)
Well I’m happy she came forward to let the good ppl she left behind know she is safe. That was actually a very kind and thoughtful thing to do.
WTF KINDA BS IS THIS
The whole story is kinda surreal, the mother smiling, the brat sending a letter 5 years later like "hey it's me, everything is ok".
Favelize Adventures sometimes I'm embarrassed to be Floridian
😂😂😂
Its life sad to say we don't know what was going on in the household before she ran away
torosalvajebcn I don’t believe it’s fair to call her a brat. You don’t know her side of the story. Something had to have motivated a 14 year old child to leave home and start a new life alone. Kids who do that usually come back after they realize that life is hard for a kid without family. She didn’t.
If she was kidnapped at 14 lives with kidnapper for 5 years. Wouldn’t she have Stockholm syndrome. And need help.
Unless she ran away willing due to abusive family
Stockholm Syndrome doesn’t always happen. I’ve heard that there’s a genetic component to which people would be more or less likely to develop Stockholm Syndrome
Exactly!!!
The little red haired girl from across the street wow that’s neat.
I think it’s most likely that she ran of her own free will
Im so lucky to be back with my mom and family god bless god
I'm proud of that girl for her getting out of that...
Does this story not sound like a sketchy case for the family? Emily was 14 when she left and suddenly showed up at the age of being an adult? Sounds somewhat planned, and with the fact she doesn’t want her family to see her even now sounds even more strange. I have two conspiracy’s:
1. Either Emily’s family or family member had been abusing or in some way hurting Emily. ( you don’t run away at age 14 for 5 years unless the reason had to be serious). She ran away to hide from them until she was an adult so no one had guardianship over her anymore.
2. Or. Emily was kidnapped or forced to leave at 14. So he/she waited until Emily was an adult and could legally make her own decisions. Thus being forced to stay with he/she without anyone searching anymore.
Either way the fact she waited until now to show up at the legal age and doesn’t want anything to do with her family sounds completely non ironic and more planned.
Audrey Flower Emily was a lesbian that was raised by homophobic and religious parents she just wanted to be free and live her life as a lesbian so she escaped to her girlfriends place than live with her homophobic parents
@@proudfeminist356 how do you know?
Audrey Flower I was in high school with her everyone knew she was lesbian
Yeah man.. if a 14 year old makes it 5 years on her own and lets her mother know she's okay after she's an adult, she was probably in good care. (like a family took her in)
@@proudfeminist356 is that true???
ME AFTER ARGUING WITH MY MOM...
Me: I'm leaving!!
Mom: Go ahead.
2 minutes later
Me: Mom I'm hungry.
Lol
Lol Fr
me at age 9 after my mom says i can’t get a pack of shopkins
Same
That was me at age 7
No matter what happened she wanted a connection and letting her family know about her.
Relatedness is important to most people.
The way she says "it's crazy", and "com back into our lives, and be a part of it again", kinda ercs me. I understand its here mother, but its the words and they way its said. Can't describe the feeling.
bro i was just about to say "what if she was abused?" or "what if someone is holding her captive" until i read the comment section. the detective really needs to up his game seriously.
@MissDroplette yeah true. it's not our problem so we shouldn't worry about it
@MissDroplette i dont know American law but in my country child abuse is a crime per se , no need to have the victim presse charges. In fact not reporting it is a felony
@@matthew-lq3fh that’s not what she’s saying. What she’s saying is that since the lady is a grown adult now, the detectives can’t investigate her without her consent
@MissDroplette unless it was sexual abuse, there’s a four year statute of limitations
I wonder if she was forced to write the letter. It may not be all what it seems.
She ran away because she was lesbian and her family was not accepting of that since they were religious.
@@sattaluri1 how do you know it?
Dafne fights back cause James Charles told us
@@dutch1627 ok now I can trust that
@@sattaluri1 did u just say that without proof
I hope she is safe and happy.
Any update on her now? Glad she’s happy
What the heck?
Your banned from my christian minecraft server
Stop thats a bad word
Rykken318 lol
Mangekyo or she just ran away
Why is nobody talking about the obvious: her family was terrible to her, so she ran away.
It's pretty simple.
@frank time that doesn't exclude her family being terrible. Actually helps your theory if her family treated her badly.
Oh, you're young.
Obvious to you may be because you've been abused by your own family; not so obvious to others who haven't lived that torment. If she truly wanted to put her family behind her, I don't think she would have came out of the wood work.
Not always, most of the time it's much more complicated than that
That’s just A assumption.
I haven't talked to my parents for over a year 💁 best decision I ever made.
I like how I saw this few years ago, And I started wandering why you would need to leave your family so badly that you would run away. It didn’t hit me until much later how sad it really was.
I wonder why the mom wasn’t interviewed or interested.
May be dead, in jail, not interested, working, or under substances' influence. You never know
I believe I watched an interview with the Mom. She seemed relieved her daughter was ok and really glad she made contact. Of course anybody can play the role of a concerned parent or she could have been genuine. I don't know the situation so I'm not judging.
shes alive all that matters
Why is she acting as if it’s normal for a girl who was missing for FIVE YEARS! To just want to stay god knows where it’s just for a mom who’s missing a child for five years she way too calm if I got this letter after waiting five years I would be balling my eyes out looking for something to find her
Edit: thanks for the likes 😌💛🖤💛
That wasn't her mom in the interview. I'm going to guess she was possibly molested by a family member and wasn't believed by her parents.
@@LoriCrabtree31that's pretty much the ultimate betrayal.
It was her cousin, not mom.
she probably read the letter a couple of times before she ended up on the news.. she cant have the same reaction just because theres camera on her face..
You don't know how much she was crying before all the cameras started rolling. She might've been hysterical when she got it.
By now shes probably 23 years. i hope her daughter is ok and well!
Bless her
