Doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong though, she's a 14 year old who's obviously had a difficult time to say she needed to be placed with a foster family, she may just not feel anything for her foster family or may not have felt at home there

Great news that she is safe, I hope she has a good social worker that will get to the reason she disappeared with no word for over a week, foster homes are not always safe havens

..14yrs old as well can also be a very confusing/emotional/hormonal age and she may have either wanted to be with her parent(s) or previous foster carer if she had become attached, wherever she was previously as she had only recently moved to this foster home I believe...it may have even been school friendships or other friendships she was missing...

I appreciate what you are saying Ammi, it might be a very simple reason that she went missing, I would like to think if she were with a responsible adult they would have encouraged her to let her foster parents know where she was, so the police didn't have to get involved, I just hope we have moved on from delivering run away kids back to where they went missing from without asking questions

..this is why I wonder if it was anything to do with her natural parent(s), which the police would be involved in and also explain the appeal from her sister..obviously I'm just speculating/musing Cherie but she was away a long time before it was reported on media so that seems odd to me as well...hopefully she'll get all the social support she needs now in her foster care/also from her siblings...

14 years old her , 19 year old fella on suspicion

..so possibly the person that she had met online, then..?..

Probably didn't "abduct" her tbh, he's probably just a 19 year old perv who got involved with a younger teenager girl, and (being of that sort of age) she may well have gone willingly.

It would however probably be considered "abduction" by the authorities, as a 19 year old is an adult and a 14 year old is a child, so whether he physically took her against her will or simply talked her into leaving with him, it's still an abduction. Not in the "traditional" sense, though.

That said, in these cases it quite often turns out that the younger person has claimed to be 16. Murky waters, really.
