A Parents’ Guide To Finding A Runaway Child

NPR's Here & Now 12/3/12: A Parents’ Guide To Finding A Runaway Child. Last November, Christina Loftis came home and realized that her 13-year-old daughter, Allie Loftis, was not where she was supposed to be. After the police searched the family’s suburban Massachusetts home, they found a note on the daughter’s whiteboard. It read: “Don’t look for me. I’m not lost, I’m found.” Allie was missing for 12 days before she was found in Jersey City, N.J. with a 42-year-old man, Jorge Luis Garzon. Garzon was charged with kidnapping, child endangerment, and other offenses. He pleaded guilty and is currently serving a five-year sentence. Authorities credit the success of the search to a social media campaign launched by Allie’s parents, Christina and Tony Loftis.
