OK, kidnapped and isolated by a "boyfriend", not trafficked.

This case and the current case should scream at parents: "Do not let your teens have free unchecked access to the internet!" There are sick people out there.

I also do not understand this weird fixation with trafficking. I think this is some q anon fixation some posters have. Yes trafficking happens, and it is awful, but there are many other more likely scenarios. Not all of these possibilities are better than trafficking. For example, scenarios involving creepy older men are spine chilling and often do not involve trafficking but are still god awful and possibly worse. I hope she is ok and has just run away. If not, I hope she is still ok.

You're sick in the head if you think parents can or should control every aspect of a 15 year Olds life. If you go through their phone you still miss everything that is deleted or on a burner phone. If you never let them out of the house they would run away at school.
What a hot take

No, we don't know what happened, but she's 15. She's a minor. She needs to be protected from whatever situation she's in now regardless of whether she left voluntarily or not. She's not legally capable of deciding voluntarily to go live with a boyfriend or whatever. That's not her call to make yet. And the community needs to keep spreading the word in the hopes that someone can help her.

It's also astounding to me how many reports of missing teens there are on the MCPD website. Most appear to be found within a few days, so I assume that they are mad at their parents and crashing with friends or another relative.


She probably is a runaway.


Who runs away without their cell phone - purposely.

She was lured and asked not to bring her phone. "We will get you a new phone and you can be a model or live a great life."

Now she is being trafficked

This happens so much more than you think


Yes but we don't know that is what happened here. It's all conjecture. For all we know, the kid felt like her parents were abusive and fled. (NOT saying that is true). And knew they could track her with her phone (all kids know this), so she got a burner phone instead.

We have no idea why she left. None. Hopefully the police know more.

Who cares. It doesn't matter. Stop deflecting and blaming

The Alicia Navarro case has girls doing this crap now. You willingly leave, not in danger, shack up until 18 and then live a normal life with the guy.
