Wouldn’t a picture of been a good idea?
Have. Sick of these teens going missing. Every few hours there’s another one. The Facebook age.
They do it just to annoy you Mark
I take it you don’t have any children Mark. It must be nice air on your lofty perch looking down on others problems. I hope such a worry will never visit you.
A picture cant be released because she’s a juvenile. A court order is needed before they allow publication of a picture.
That description describes about 80% of 17 year old girls.
I doubt 80% of 17 year old girls routinely carry an umbrella. I always find it funny why there is a crime and on the radio it says Garda are looking for someone 5’8 to 5’11 wearing a grey hoodie like that information is of any use to anyone.
She commented on the trace missing Ireland face book page about an hour ago
“Im not missing wah is wrong with use people”
So guess she must not be missing after all
Well I really hope this girl is found safe and well … Something really bad could have happened to her for all we know so we shouldn’t just assume things
big yawn
Big yawn back atcha! Yawning’s quiet contagious!
She is in care and late home … end of !
Doubtful. If this child is a missing child in care then care staff have no idea where she is, her family do not know and nobody has had any contact. Do not throw out comments when you do not have a clue.
There is a child missing and a family distressed.
Care staff report her missing because she is late home ………… it is a well known fact
You are wrong
Some teenagers in care are allowed free time and told to come home at a certain time. If they are late by a certain period their carers are obliged by law to report them to the Gardaí. My partner works in a boys care home, so this is how I know this. It is a frequent occurrence with children in care, but this does not take away from the fact that it is a very worrying time for all those involved, when any child goes missing. I’m not saying this girl is in care. Anyway I hope she returns safe asap.
I assume you meant Philisburgh Ave. Dublin 3,
I assume they mean Philipsburgh Avenue, Dublin 3.
Yeah where’s d pic..??
Chantelle!
she probaly swimming over 2 garth
Two young boys from Dublin, who were due to attend a pitch and putt competition were abducted assaulted, robbed, threatened and terrified by a suspect driving a silver land cruiser in Tallanstown co louth on saturday night. gardai are pursuing a positive line of enquiry.
Missing teen = throwing a tantrum.
Hearing of children disappear puts a shiver down the spine of every parent out there!
One has a feeling she will be just fine
