Of course it's the last place they thought to look. After they found him, they didn't need to think about it any more.

Sheesh!

That's a rough 13.

Two possibilities-
1) Out bangin' her 18-19 y/o loser boyfriend overnight and had him drop her off at the library the next day.
2) She's just so introverted that her parents didn't notice she had come home and then left the next day

Was he found by The Library Policeman?

Was she checking out books on gender reassignment?

We'll search out every place a sick twisted solitary misfit might run to. I'll start with Radio Shack.

She's 13 and goes to Scranton Elementary school. What grade does that elementary school go up to? Around these parts, it's either 5th or 6th. Wouldn't she be in the 7th or 8th grade? Just asking.

Some go k-8.

I did the same thing as a kid. The library closes early on friday, but as a kid during the summer you don't really worry about what day it is plus the sun is up till nine pm. I was gone for 5 hours reading books, the library closed around me and I'd never noticed.. it's not like it gets much quieter in there! the whole neighborhood was out looking for me but never thought to look in the library after hours.

Thanks. I thought that had gone by the wayside many years ago.

It did, but its starting to come back in vogue. Mostly to cut costs in areas of declining enrollment.

alright. may i see your library card, please? what'cha got there, huh? what's this then, "The Glass Bead Game"? your parents know you're reading this?

Now that is funny. When they first came up with the notion that Elementary should be k-6, middle school should be 7 - 9 and HS 10-12, a lot of folks complained that it increased the overhead costs of buildings and administration. We were confidently informed that the education of the children was at stake and we should neither begrudge the education system the money nor question the motives of the education establishment. Are those districts that are changing back claiming that the education of the children will suffer but they don't care because they need to cut costs? Or, are they admitting that money spent on administration and staff doesn't actually educate? How are they justifying the change when only a few decades ago we were told our children would grow up as ignorant, maladjusted slobs if we didn't change TO the middle school system

Don't mean to threadjack. Glad the girl was found.

i do not understand yoots

they have periodicals on microfiche.

The police are asking for information as to what she was up to? She's 13, why don't they ask her?? Isn't it up to her parents to deal with her now, since she's ok..if she was hurt or coerced or anything, wouldn't she tell them??

Weird story.

You never know what you'll find in the library nowadays.

She's still a little skittish...

I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to too.

missing 13-year-old Kaylen Torres was located Saturday at a library at East 83 and Lorain Avenue

Actually, she wasn't. Because there IS no E. 83rd and Lorain Ave. The library is at W. 83rd.

...and isn't E. 83rd a really horrible neighborhood? My only Cleveland visits happened a couple jobs ago when they sent me to repair a string cheese making machine at a factory in the east 80s.

I remember roving dog packs and flaming cars.

Sounds a lot like my life as a kid. We didn't have air conditioning, the Wauwatosa library did, it was only a couple blocks away. I practically lived there.

I really loved spending my vacation ...

Our district does preschool and k in one complex (shared with a neighboring district), 1-4 in a few schools, 5-8 in the middle school, and 9-12 in the high school. This was partly due to the way the population grew, but it really does work out well since you have all the hormonal preteens and early teens seperated from the smaller kids and also seperated from the kids who are mostly though puberty. It keeps most of the worst of the physical and emotional violence to a minimum.

Wait?!? Kids today know what a library is, let alone want to go into one?

Did they already check the museum? Lots of places to hide there...

I would have found her and her good-time buddies!

I don't see what's funny about it. "Don't care because they need to cut costs"? You make it sound as if it's the district's fault that they're cutting back. Administrators don't get to choose how much money they spend; they're given a budget by the state and do the best they can with it. So it's more along the lines of "Your children will get the only crappy education we can afford, since there's no money to do it right". At least that's how I feel in California, where we've had 4 straight years of 10-20% cutbacks (relative to baseline, but baseline only covers inflation).

Sheesh!

Funny, I once joked with my teen that he should keep looking for something after he found it, just so he could say that it wasn't the last place he looked.

/scientist do stuff like that all the time to prove that it can't be found elsewhere

My God. I live in Waukesha.
(Don't pity me)

A library is that place that has books and bums go to make a BM.

Cleveland OH is mimicking Cleveland TX letting 13 year old Hispanic girls gang bang for money?

domo_kun_sai:

Dear God I'm sorry to hear that

phaseolus: ...and isn't E. 83rd a really horrible neighborhood?

Everything from E. 55th to MLK is pretty sketchy, yeah. Lots of closed factories, boarded up storefronts, iron bar windowed bodegas and, yeah, crime. Then, in a matter of a few blocks, it morphs into Cleveland Heights / Shaker Heights and circuitous, fine trimmed streets full of 6 B/R, turn of the century mini mansions and people who can afford to live in them. Rich and poor border war living, like most large cities where huge sections of the economy were dismantled. Oddly, crime doesn't seem to be a good replacement for those jobs but the criminals never sort that out.

Missing teen found at the last place investigators thought to look: The library


/hot

They found her, but there's a number to call if you have info about her ???
Like what?

--I hearby declare this a Hot Librarian thred -- post pics of Rachel Weisz!

Cyno01: Heh, me too. Same library too.

It's funny -- I wandered back in there a couple years ago, and saw the same people at work who were there in the mid '70s...


And from your profile, if you play guitar in milwaukee youve probably had an amp or two repaired by my dad at one time or another.

I've never gotten an amp repaired. So far I haven't been too serious about my guitar playing and musical instrument making -- lack of time, ADD, angry spouse, no quiet place I can go play.

Once I move out I'll need something to do... And since I'm a cheapskate I've been looking for old cheap tube PA amps to convert into guitar amps, but now they're on everyone's radar. Couple years ago before I needed one I could find them (and collections of NOS vacuum tubes) at rummage sales once in a while, but now they've all been snapped up before I get there and listed on eBay or craigslist for about triple what I want to pay.
