urban.derelict: Rixel: netweavr: Have you checked under the bed? They're always in the last place you look.

Everything is in the last place you look! If you kept looking after you found whatever it was you were looking for, you'd be an idiot

or maybe in bed? when I was 5 years old I fell asleep with the dog that always laid behind our couch behind our front door and mom had the entire neighborhood lookin' for me, until I woke up, crawled out, and said 'what is everyone so upset about?'

RexTalionis: FTFA: Starr is described as 4'11", 110 lbs, with long brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing white shorts with a hole in the right leg, a black tank top, and black sneakers.

Now that it's been revealed that she's pierced to bejesus and back I think that this points to her possessing poor decision making skills. She probably got into the wrong VW while helping a guy with crutches find his lost dog.

Seriously, why don't you go and kiss the front bumper of a moving pickup truck?

After reading she was pierced all to hell and "the last time the father saw her was 5:30 when she was leaving for rugby practice" i question why anyone would let their 16 year old adopted daughter travel anywhere alone. You can't take her to practice, drop her off, or even stay and watch and, you know, support your kid's hobbies and sports, make sure she's safe until she's back home?

/good luck
..hey maybe she's an excellent, but distraught, mathematician like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting
/you might learn something about yourself tonight, subby

Wow, that's cold.

What's a thant?

I was right?

;)

bluorangefyre		2012-04-04 09:41:37 PM

Clearfield here. We'll keep an eye out in case she is in the 814 area code. Link also going up on FB.

msupf		2012-04-04 09:42:58 PM

While I can't physically help as I'm in the middle of Michigan, just know that if it comes to needing any donations for anything, I will be among the first in line to help out.

stebain		2012-04-04 09:43:06 PM

I hope it's just jitters about the new environment. She comes with baggage, but you knew that, it might take her time to really adjust.

Be kind, mentally rewind.

StokeyBob		2012-04-04 09:44:10 PM

If this was in the mountains we could fire into the air and maybe let her know with direction ~~camp~~ home was.

In this situation, I'm at a loss. Hopefully she will find her way.

From the little I have heard it sounds like maybe she is just working things out. I'm sure hoping this is her idea. I would talk to her friend again. Maybe they can shed new light as the seriousness sinks in.

Guitar Kitten		2012-04-04 09:44:32 PM

I hope your daughter returns home safe and sound. Good luck, my friend.

ladyfortuna		2012-04-04 09:45:05 PM

While I'm not *close* to that area, I live near the 86/route 17 corridor in NY... will keep an eye out in my infrequent contacts with other humans =/

Here's hoping she just ran off with a friend and comes home soon...

Wise_Guy		2012-04-04 09:46:28 PM

I keep checking in here hoping she's back.

Best wishes Capt.

Indubitably		2012-04-04 09:46:41 PM

She might have run.

'Tis okay.

New and afeared,

Hmmm.

Be REAL kind, b/c she's got MY shield on her now, and I don't hand that out lightly, friends.

I mean it.

To the assholes: save it for the followup thread after their daughter is returned safely.

Bit'O'Gristle: CaptArmond: Subby here

The well wishes are appreciated. Made my wife cry when she saw it, she was ok through all this with not crying until she saw this thread. I put this on Fark as I've exhausted all the resources that I can muster.

Some additonal info:
She tends to go by Kay.
She talks at a rapid pace with a noticable speech impediment.
She has a lip ring (lower right lip), a tongue ring, and several ear piercings including the top of the ear (whatever that is called) on the right side.
We're her foster family and she's only been with us for a little over a week. I've known her for roughly 3 years (work related) but she's only lived with us recently.
She (and I) are new to Carlisle (wife is a native), we recently purchased a home here to allow us the space to take her in.

If anyone knows where she is please contact the Carlisle police at 717-243-5252 (thanks to whoever put that in the thread earlier).

Thanks to all of you for your help thus far. We are hopeful that Sam is safe, just worried as all hell with not knowing where she is.

/know that we love you..and that we are all pulling for you. Hug your wife, keep her close...you are one another's strength now. Depend and keep each other close. Will pray for a happy ending.
//group hugs you and yours.
:(

Bits, look for an e-mail

One of the few things that suck about being atheist.Times like this it would be nice to believe that there is something in control out there and by praying you were helping get his/it's attention and therefore helping out.

Don't be negative. This isn't the time for it.

/prays twice as hard to the flying spaghetti monster

Wasn't really meant like that, just an observation in how different it is when dealing with atheists.

Cap't, is this your first teen girl foster? It's VERY common for them to run during the first week. It doesn't mean they dislike you or anything but it's the only way they know how to respond. You and your wife are emotionally invested in this but the teen is not, this is probably 'another home' to her. Please, don't let your wife get too worried and don't castigate yourselves. Your fostering agency should have warned you this could happen, in fact commonly happens.

As I said in my Boobies, I feel for you completely.

Well there's a few I broke by accident but most of them you have to intentionally be trying to cause trouble. The mods can't be reading every comment in any thread so I think they often have to wait for one of us to bring it to their attention. Farkers are an easy going bunch so very little gets reported. Which I think is all for the best. But if someone is really being a dick we do have the option to report said dick.

As a step-father to a 14 year old daughter, I hope for the best for you and your family. I can't imagine what you and your wife must be going through. She's only been there a week and transitions are always the most difficult in the beginning. Hopefully this is just "growing pains" and she will return safely. Stay positive and begin planning your reception for her. Your reaction and the reaction of Mrs. Capt to her will make all the difference in the world.

Thank you for sharing this. I gave my daughter an extra hug tonight when I tucked her in.

Yup, my ignore list has grown substantially in the past hour or so. Some of these people seem to have a massive disconnect with the human condition and apparently have lifetime subscriptions to Internet tough guy magazine, and a few seem to be contributing writers with the bullshiat they are posting.

We get it, you are so absolutely jaded that a (foster)parent using every resource they can think of utilizing to possibly help find their charge is, to you, a complete and utter waste of your valuable interwebs and the vast majority of us who are rallying around a kindred spirit with similar slightly twisted tastes are simply vast wastes of perfectly good computers that could be better utilized to troll and harass anyone and everyone who presents an actual real live concern instead of today's version of who has a bigger fricken e-penis.

/rant unfinished, but derailed, whargle gharble and all that.

CaptArmond		2012-04-04 10:11:50 PM

No news yet.
I've contacted some of her biological family to see if they've heard from her. So far not so much.
This is our first foster child, we became fosters specifically for her. We're not taking it personally, she has her issues as we know. I just would sleep a lot better if I knew she was safe as opposed to having to hope she's safe.
She has run before on a few occassions (I once had to pick her up in Ohio after a 2 week disappearance).
Thanks for the positive vibes from the fark community.
/Wife also says thanks.

kimwim		2012-04-04 10:14:02 PM

CaptArmond, I'm a mom of 2 grown boys, no daughters. Once lost a son for all of 5 minutes when he was 3, at a store. Security guard helped us reunite.
My heart goes out to you and your wife, hoping you find her safely, soon.

Speak for yourself. Subby's "missing daughter" is a 16-year-old supposed "foster child" with multiple piercings that just ran away from a place she had been at for all of THREE DAYS. Hardly a pedo-murderer abducting an 8-year-old from her bed.

And half of you sob sisters are "reposting to Facebook!!" and other such nonsense so you can feel like you're part of the drama. You assholes are what causes an hour-long traffic jam due to an Amber Alert sign on the freeway for a custody dispute two hundred miles away, and I hate you for it. Although Nancy Grace thanks you for her career.

Wow,

And, Heaven Forbid you be inconvenienced as you drive home in you Man-car, on yer Man-highway, listening to yer Man-music, while you fiddle and watch yer Man-TV.

You are why Darwinism is okay.

B/c ultimately, yer assholishness will be selected out as the planet learns to adjust to its new humanized environment, asshole.

Mark this in the Cloud.

My experienced advice, hug your wife, keep the radio/tv on (you will anyway and you won't hear anything but it will help a bit) and don't be too angry when she comes back. Teenagers have an uncanny ability to underestimate how much we care and feel about them. They often do crazy, risky things and wonder why we are freaked out! The worst part is feeling like nobody else cares that she is missing and the response here should mitigate that a bit. (Impressed with you Farkers yet again!). Hang tight Cap't and please keep us updated.

I wonder if this has gotten WORSE for mothers. Is the level of PANIC worse, because there are so many stories of worse case nightmares?
When I was 3-4, I followed my dad to work. which lead to my walking 4 blocks and then not being able to cross a major street on my own.
God knows how long it took for my mom to even notice that I had wondered off, let alone start looking for me.

Come to think of it, she was the one who left the gate open in the first place.
Hmmmmm
