Jacksonville Teen Found Safe After Running Away From Home
A Jacksonville teen was found safe Monday after she abruptly ran away from home over the weekend.
Her mother’s emotional plea for the safe return of her teenage daughter, who ran away over the weekend, resonated with hundreds of thousands of people accross social media.
Her parents say that Kyleigh Kosters, 13, was last seen at her Lake Fern Drive home in Mandarin at 11 p.m. Saturday, according to the missing persons report.
The teen was nowhere to be found the next morning.
The teenager clearly stuffed pillows under her bed covers to make it appear as though she was at home sleeping, the report said.
She left the home at some point before 7:45 a.m. Sunday morning.
Her father told police that this is the first time that Kyleigh, who is adopted, has run away, according to the report.
He said that his daughter, whose biological mother may have been involved in the sex trade, recently asked about prostitution. He said that her Google search history includes: “how to find a john” and “what is a pimp.”
The teen’s adoptive mother posted her daughter’s image on Facebook, imploring the public to help find her child.
The post has been shared over 750,000 times since Sunday morning.
“I have an emergency and need prayer,” Kim Kosters wrote in part. “My daughter is missing since last night.”
No further information was available regarding her whereabouts during the time she was missing.
