:: glances at pic, skips thread to post :: 17 to mid-twenties, but with that picture it’s difficult to tell. ---

Fuzzy picture of a giant face in 3/4 view with nothing around it. The pose is kind of young-ish. But a lot of the other indicators of age are not visible in that shot. ---

She looks like [Myleene Klass](http://www.soundonsound.com/images/forum/www_popbuzzuk_com_wp-content_uploads_2006_11_myleene-klass.jpg.png) who is 30. Edit: I’ve always thought American kids look older than their counterparts in other countries. for example a 12 year old can easilly look 16. ---

What I find bizarre is that this young girl has gone missing, and her parent(s) can’t provide a photo better than a cameraphone self-portrait. There a plenty of photos of me and my sisters when were were that age. I mean, even poor families tend to take pictures of their kids. Not even a school portrait? I suppose one possibility is that in existing family photos or school portraits she presents a more age-appropriate appearance (less/no makeup, etc), but the self-portrait was provided because it shows the appearance she’s more likely to be presenting now that she’s away from her parents. ---
