    If anyone who was part of the search efforts reads this by chance - THANK YOU for your compassion and effort. You guys are heroes.

    THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SEARCHED! 🙏🏻 This girl has been blessed to be safe and be able to go home. Please remember, when you run away, not only are you putting your family through senseless suffering, but you could be a victim of something horrific. At the very least, call a family member and let them know you are alive.

    I have no connection to this family but I was very worried for this girl. I’m so glad she can come home finally
  • @loudislouder
    Good for the dad and the daughter for speaking up against the mom. Really sad case of parent to child abuse, happens often but is rarely addressed.
  • @mirellawentz4688
    Glad she’s in protective custody and will be heard, she’s 15 and needs to be heard, especially when abuse by the mother is alleged
  • @ken.cade5
    One of the rare (but satisfying) stories that she was found safe. Normally, after 48 hours, these incidents usually end up for the worse. Thanks for the good news update.

    there’s a video on etchaskej channel where alison recorded and stated herself that her mom is abusive/hurts her. the mom got the police involved the day before she ran away and tried to force alison to a mental institution.

    This is my best birthday gift. I heard about her and was praying for her. I couldn't just move on to do anything else thinking she was missing. One day I felt the impulse to go out looking for her, even though I live in San Diego, who knows? When doing my errands, I was actively on the look out for her, actively seeing all cars and the passengers. I hope she finds a way through these difficult times and wish her and her family the best.

    I prayed for this teen's safety when I heared that she was missing.Thank You God & the people who helped her.

    The mother needs to get investigated ASAP. This type of abuse should not be taken lightly. There’s a video circulating about how the mom was trying to get her daughter institutionalized. She’s a straight A student.
  • @melodyocampo227
    It’s good that she was found safely and is in protective custody.
  • @Hodad3000
    It's nice to read a positive headline. Thank you to all who made this possible.
  • @johncollorafi257
    I feared the worst, so glad that she's okay. Good for those who helped.
  • @littlerichie874
    The psycho mom should be investigated. Also props to all the volunteers who spent days looking for this little girl.
  • @yaboygeezy9695
    The mom needs to be investigated immediately!!! That little girl had a reason for running away from the mom and since the mom wanted to make this public we deserve answers. Glad the little girl is okay.
  • @MrColeBeans
    After seeing the footage of the police trying to take the girl and her stating that her mother was abusing her I find it incredibly concerning how the mother was acting in front of the news over the past week..while her daughter was actually running away from the abusive mother all along. I hope the girl is treated right and the mother is not allowed to take her. Lots of questions unanswered.
  • @pquach00
    It's relief to hear that she is found safe! Great job to everyone involved in the search.
