I’m pretty rattled right now, maybe I’m doing this ass-backward.

Yes, she’s a young woman who probably ran away Friday. Who cares, she’s in real danger right now. PD and DPS know, but, I’d like to share her picture, and give out some contact info for us (up on FB since last afternon)— I think that breaks the rules. So I’m gonna post this, and then report it.

Darth, I just feel awful for you. I didn’t see a photo. Have you posted this on the largest social medium? Photos spread quickly there.

Let’s move this to MPSIMS where more people will see it.

You’ve talked to the media, right? Local tv and radio often works wonders.

Your family is in my prayers.

Was there a link that was removed? If so, why?

She’s a “young woman”? How young? Is she legally an adult? Why do you think she’s in “real” danger?

I left out the link.  
[I’m not sure if this will work for y’all.](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=345111072272192&set=a.209403755842925.45409.100003199062639&type=1&theater)  
Local media has a policy of waiting a few days.  
She’s underage. This is the poorest part of the state, within walking distance to Mexico, where girls like her become a commodity.

Shared it. Probably won’t help, because I’m in the wrong area and so are most of my friends, but maybe it will spread out from here.

I’ll be praying for her.

I think they all have the day off. Let me check: Fuck Ed Zotti, that dude’s a cunt!

In other news, a 41-year-old skeevy internet guy got a lost 15-year-old runaway found.
