What has this kid been through the last 4 years
Thankfully she made it home safe.
Ya, I don’t think she went “home”. I think she ran away from an abusive home and then after she became a legal adult she went to a police station to let them know she was alive and ok. She likely waited so she could not be forced to go back to her parents.
Thankfully? Sounds like she wanted to leave, is happy, healthy and well cared for. We don’t know what home life was like, and she walked into the police station to get herself off the missing persons list as shes not missing.
It also said they had a happy reunion but I was speaking generally in the sense that most of these stories don’t have a happy outcome.
“emotionally overwhelming” isn’t always happy.
TLDR please ?
She ran away at age 14. At 18 she went to the police station to clear her name from the missing persons list. They said she was healthy and in good spirits.
That’s it. Fuck was she doing for 4 years ? Wasting taxpayers money?
Is that really the first thing that comes to mind? Wasting money?
Not just any money, taxpayer money. Her name sitting in the NCIC database was really adding to the data bill. Or this guy has delusions about what the police actually do about runaways.
Its Capitalism! Dont blame me.
In fact, I do blame you for being insensitive. You have a brain: you can think a bit before posting
I refuse to use my brain.
Probably ran away from an abusive home at 14.
