Might I suggest you remove her name from the pic title so curious and impatient bastards such as myself don’t Google her info? I just had to know, so now I know without the fun of guessing.

I have no idea who she is, but my guess is somewhere between 18 and 23.

Anywhere between 13 and 30. Not a great pic.

Sorry, didn’t know how to do that. I figured some would be like you, hence the spoiler box reco.

She looks like the 23 y/o secretary at work, that I have always thought looked even younger than that. So I’d say she could pass for late teens.

The very fact you are asking makes me wonder if the answer is really 78 and she has bathed inthe blood of virgins every day of her life!!!

Without looking at the other posts: 16.

But it’s not a great photo for judging. A little fuzzy, and you only get her face in profile. Is the punchline that she’s really 45?

I couldn’t begin to narrow it down past about 15 years or so. Anywhere from 13-30. She’s got very youthful round cheeks, but her jawline is sharper than an adolescent’s tends to be.

I guess I’m dense. I googled the name, and I still don’t know who she is. Seems to be a fairly common name.

I Googled after I answered.

The answer, for those of you who have already guessed:

She is the twelve year old subject of an Amber Alert out of Perry, Florida (panhandle town) that is suspected to be with her 18 year old boyfriend. Here’s a link ( [blogs.tampabay.com/breakingnews/2008/11/12-year-old-per.html](http://blogs.tampabay.com/breakingnews/2008/11/12-year-old-per.html) ) to a St. Pete Times report. One reason I put this out here was because of the other thread in IMHO right now about a 27 year old guy asking if he can date a high school kid. Link –\> [Can I date a High Schooler? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=494614) .

14, but I think my guess is based on the pose (myspace-ish) as much as her features

I guessed about 17-20.

However old she looked, how long would it take a man to realise she was only a young girl, if he was seriously concerned?

Total WAG but I’ll go with 17. Looks like one of the idiot shots the girls in high school were always taking.

Just saw her real age, man thats creapy.
