My prayers go out for the safe return of this young confused teen. And to the media that is graveling over this and bothering the parents, leave them alone. They have enough going on with their daughter being missing. Seriously, stop calling them, and stop ringing their phone! Have some compassion! They have to be sick over this, and they don't have time for your stupid questions!!!

Hahaha, the police said "she might feel she might be in trouble... but at this point all anyone cares about is getting her home..." Key words there are "AT THIS POINT". They could care less about her being found the ONLY thing they are worrying about is WHEN they are going to be able to charge her. They are only saying that in hopes to fool her to get her back to send her to juvie...

I wish her the best of luck ... although the odds are stacked against her. For whatever reason, she thinks she has the maturity and responsibility, at the age of 16, to go it on her own. If somehow she does manage to survive to actual maturity, she will be able to look back at this as the defining moment in her life ... a path that once taken can never be traveled back. More bad then good awaits her, but maybe, just maybe she will get very lucky.

This girl does need to return home. Then she should be paddled once a day for the remainder of her minor status. What a frigging brat!

Twats for twits. Or is it twits for twat?

Find the little bitch, takel her computer and cell phone away, have here spend sometime in the clink, and start working to pay back all the money it cost to find the little tramp. Boy I can't wait till the Muslim take over in this country, all this shix with women and kids is going to stop. I will convert, and the man will be back in control of his family. No more cell phones, driving, voting etc for women, I really am embrassing this new country barry wants.

She should be in trouble if she comes home.What a dumb ass

You think a member of the iGeneration would have a better understanding of current technological capabilities.

Regardless, I hope she is safe.

If she's old enough to pull this @!$%#, she's old enough to be on her own.

Stupid little b*tch needs her as* WHIPPED! Scaring people for NOTHING! Good God whats going to happen to her should she REALLY get kidnapped or worse .....the cops will think shes faking AGAIN! TEENS! Cant put them out, spank them, or tell them ANYTHING because they KNOW IT ALL!

Who is paying for all this ?

Time for a lesson in maturity and personal responsibility...if she has caused all this so she could 'get away', then she should be held responsible for her actions - bill HER (not the family) for all the costs incurred.

If she wants to be an adult, then she should be treated as one....starting now.

MSNBC should drop this story and pay attention to some kid who is doing something right. Celebrate a nerd day!

She's meeting up with some dude she met on the internet...she'll regret that.

Why would she Tweet "Call 911" instead of dialing the phone? eithe very stupid, or just seeking attention from gullable Tweeters who bought the whole story.

Prolly getting back at her parents for not rasing her allowance.

She needs to see a therapist. There is something wrong here and she is not dealing with a full deck. Could be drugs or a psycholological disorder.

Uh-oh! Plot twist. What if it isn't just a staged abduction turned runaway? What if there in fact was an intruder, possibly the guy she tweeted about earlier that was acting all creepy towards her, and he staged an abduction to look like a staged abduction turned runaway, made her get on the train to NY and is now on his way to pick her up. He would have had to give her good reason to go through with the demands, like threatening some diabolical sh*t if she didn't. It's cool guys, I'll write the book, no big deal.

For real though, regardless of the deceit, I think everyone should wish her luck on a safe return.

So, she thinks she might be in trouble? Duh, yeah, if she were my child she would be. She's caused worry, fear and now police manpower to track her down and bring her home. Pony up parents, she's running up quite a tab.

Anyone who has any intention of living fully or partially off of social security in the future really needs to realize who is supposed to be working and paying at that time. Yup, people like this kid. Better save more.

Kids will be Kids.. how many times have kids gotten into trouble calling the 911 number as a prank?? Heck how many adults haven't vanished just to get away from it.. the cold footed bride- who got over whelmed, that man up in Pa. who went fishing.. Just go home before you really get into trouble hon.

I made bad decisions early in life, and they cost me dearly - and guess what - i haven't made many since; pretty sure we all have.

So as much as i'd like to feel bad for her, don't be scared, all is forgiven, and tell her to go home - everything will be fine.

No - the hell with that - you made this mess and you will have to deal with it. Now I don't want anything bad to happen her - but if it does, I won't lose any sleep.

If this kid had a father and mother like I had, she'd definitely be dealt with when and if she returns home...and it would have been done lovingly, but sternly. My Dad is a former Marine and he didn't allow backtalk, nipped rude or assinine behavior in the bud, and also didn't allow me to whine or feel sorry for myself for very long. He taught me early on that if I expected the world was going to revolve around me at some pojnt, I was in for a huge awakening. And they brought me up believing in Jesus as my savior and therefore, God, so I know that I also answer to a higher authority than mere men handed a sliver of "power". I was taught to respect others, even if I didn't agree with them or know them. I was taught that when I did something wrong, there are consequences and I alone was responsible for righting said wrongs, which were few and far between. When in a public place, I was taught to hold a door for ladies or men, to call people "sir" and "mam" and to not expect handouts, even when at family get - togethers, unless I was offered first a drink or food or whatever. I was taught to be aware of my surroundings and to not stand in the middle of the aisle at Walmart, blocking others from passing by if I chose to stand and jack my jaw with a friend.

None of these attributes are taught too often to most of today's kids, and hence, we are in a state of deep sh!t.

You atheists and Christian - haters can say all you want to make fun of something you reject as not true, but believing in a higher authority than someone like Obama made me a better person, individually and in society.

Those raised with awareness and compassion do NOT seek to only serve themselves, nor do they expect to blame everything BUT themselves for their missteps and faults. The only person who can fix one's ailments is the one with the ailments...not some psychobabble, humanistic dribble...that is all plainly self - serving, make - me - feel - good and to hell with anyone else crap!

So I hope the girl gets home in one piece, but she alone is responsible for her actions and she alone should be held accountable for whatever transpires as a result. Period.

What a stupid little twit.

Kids? What are you gonna do?

I wonder what kind of home life she has. Who wants to bet me that this stunt most of you posters are ready to crucify her for is just a cry for help and the tip of the iceberg?

To all of the future "parents of the year" and current haters out there - may want to spare the rod on this one until all of the facts come out.
