Success Story
On December 24, 2004, a 16-year-old girl called her mother and told her
she was going to work at the mall and asked to be picked up at 6 p.m.
When her mother arrived at the mall, her daughter was not there. Upon
inspecting her room, the woman noticed her daughter had taken some clothing
and jewelry. The mother contacted NCMEC, and during the initial call told
the Call Center Specialist the family had recently moved from Fresno to
Glendale, California, and she had taken away her daughter's cell phone
because she was text messaging a boy from Fresno. Three days after the
girl ran away, her parents reported that their daughter was actually text
messaging her boyfriend in Fresno. When the boy was contacted by the Fresno
Police Department he claimed not to know of the girl's whereabouts. On
March 5, 2005, after seeing a NCMEC poster of with her picture in a store,
the girl turned herself in to the Fresno Police Department. She has returned
to her parent's house and is now back in school.
