My family fosters, and we have lost touch with one of our ex-placements... she changed numbers etc distanced herself from us when she appeared to be starting a downwards spiral.

We have recently heard that she has gotten herself into some bad stuff, and we desperately want to get the message out to her that we want her to come home.

BUT - there is a limit to how much information we can plaster over the internet as we don't want her a) followed or b) problems for us (if that makes sense?)

We have a fairly vague message that she will understand who it is coming from, but we will still need to put her name on it too.

My sister is trying various combinations of her names (she has changed a few times) on the main email sites. I have been pondering sending the message to people I know with google-able blogs and asking them to pass it on so it can be found if she googles herself (quite likely), but I'm thinking that that may be no more safe than just plastering it on big sites.

I know all this sounds odd, but I don't know how to say it all without giving full details

Have you tried facebook/beebo/myspace?

RegularNeedsHelp · 31/03/2008 09:24

Yup She is too hidden if she is on there - friends only able to see her etc.

Oh sorry

This is a tough one.

RegularNeedsHelp · 31/03/2008 11:36

I think I'm just going to have to go with the blog method aren't I?

I know we can't force her to take help, but if she doesn't know that we are out there and care, then she can't know to accept can she??
