Sister not come home

[Usernamenotavailable19]

My sisters a lot younger than me, there’s a 15 year age gap and shes at school, year 9. She never came home from school yesterday, doesn’t have her phone etc and never went to school today. She went as normal yesterday and hasn’t come back. Police are looking but it’s very worrying.

I’m sorry to hear this, you must be very worried. Try to raise as much awareness as possible, the more eyes on the lookout for her the better x

how old is year 9 15/16?

13/14

I'd post on local FB groups etc. Not sure how active the neighbourhood app is generally but that's probably a good call too. The more people looking the better.

How scary, why doesn’t she have her phone with her? That’s odd for that age group so would get me thinking about why.

Is she troubled/naughty/vulnerable?

That's incredibly worrying. Do her friends know anything? Does she have a boyfriend?

That must be so worrying, are you sharing it across Facebook etc so people can share and be on the look out for her too?

Must be really worrying op.

I hope she gets in touch soon. I take it none of her friends have heard from her either

Oh gosh OP, how worrying.

My son is 13. I'd be in bits and so stressed if this was him.

What do you think has happened? Do you think she's run away? Is it out of character to disappear like this? What have her friends said? Did she leave school as normal to head home yesterday?

I'm so sorry. I'm holding your hand metaphorically 💐

She was grounded so she had her phone taken but my parents regret that now

Thanks. She left school and never came back, she’s never been gone over night before but yeah she has gone missing before but alway came home before midnight

Do you know who she mixes with?

17/18 year old, apparently she had an 18 year old bf but police said nothing they could do about that

Ok so it sounds like she acting out rather than has been abducted. But WTF are 17/18 year olds doing hanging out with a year 9 girl! Your poor parents, I can totally understand why your parents took her phone off her.

Sounds like she might be punishing your parents for taking her phone away - you say they’re regretting it so she’ll assume they’ll never do it again…

This is an awful situation though, she’s calling all the shots and how your parents react is going to set the tone for the next few years.

I can’t imagine they are happy about the bf. What the hell is an 18 year old doing? He should be on some sort of register.

if I were your parents, when she comes home, I’d tell her the phone is gone for good and from now on she is being accompanied to and from school - she wants to act like a toddler she can be treated like one. A list of desired behaviours and attitudes to earn back privileges.

Has she gone to school today?

No

How worrying for you OP, I presume your family have been in touch with all the friends you can think of and the boyfriend? I agree with PP that posting on local Facebook groups is a good idea, it only takes one person to remember seeing her yesterday. I hope she's home safe soon 💐

Go through her phone with a fine tooth comb. She may well be with a friend that you have never heard of. Check all her social media and for anything hidden.

Situations like this always remind me of an old school friend who went missing for a week at the age of 14. She was found hiding in her friend’s bedroom. The friend’s mum got suspicious after food was going missing from the fridge and searched her DD’s bedroom. Missing friend was found hiding in the wardrobe. Her parents had been in bits.

I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that she is home soon.

I bet they are regretting it. They won't be trying that again! Sounds like the poor girl was pushed to the limit for some reason.
Really hope you get news of her soon and she is just dossing at a friend's house.

Even if she had her phone it sounds like she would block any attempt at communication, and would switch off location. Your parents don't need to feel guilty they tried to do the right thing. I really hope she turns up soon, you must all be so frightened x

The ‘being grounded’ and this makes me think she’s chosen to remove herself, so please try not to worry too much.
Hopefully she’s back home very soon and everything will be sorted out. xx

She was caught drinking alcohol so not sure what choice they had really

What a twatty comment.

I have a dd the same age. If she was caught drinking, I would be restricting her phone and grounding her. Standard parenting in my book. Her friends’ parents would do the same.

Your parents are not at fault here @Usernamenotavailable19but please do have a good look at any new “friends” your dsis has.
