She did run away, however, thanks to social media she was found.
We definitely agree! Anita was found thanks to social networking but she was not eligible for Amber Alert because she ran away at (even at 13) there was no proof that "her life was in immediate danger". The laws definitely need to be changed!

She was found, not sure if you've heard.
How can a missing 13 year old girl not qualify for an Amber Alert? That is inexcusable. At least she has been found.
according to mi headlines she has been found
Glad she was found safe and my prayers are with her
Why would an Amber alert not be warranted? Why would age matter and why would it matter if she left from home? She had been gone for four days. Now she is being medically treated…what is wrong with this picture?!?
Thank you SO much for posting this and helping get more people involved!
🙁 Thanks for the update Brian. I'm glad she is safe, but praying for whatever else she has been through.
Really????? Safe????
Brian L. Thompson afriend posted it to my wall,not sure where he got the info from
They found her!!
Brian L. Thompson ..noticing a post that says she has been found..is this true? praying that it is
Brian L. Thompson ..even 1 day missing is to long! didn`t mean to be so critical in a scary situation
the 26th was 4 days ago not 6,hope they find her soon
This is a say screwed up world we live in. I can only pray that they find her soon.
I'd be interested to know what her friends know. Is she missing or did she run away?
I think all kids should get an amber alert! For crying outloud she could have been taken for sex trafficking!!
Iam praying for her safe return and for her family to stay strong !!!!
she was found tonight
You are very welcome. Am so very happy that we could assist. The computer servers are still going at full tilt with people getting the update on Anita and also trying to locate 60 yr old James Simpson. He is still missing. We need help locating him.
Rebekah Dietsche She is safe but requiring medical attention
Lennie Stroven Kawka This is the first chance in over an hour that I have been able to respond to you. Yes she has been found. It appears she is requiring medical attention.
thank god shes been found
Lennie Stroven Kawka Where are you seeing that at?
Lennie Stroven Kawka Not seeing as critical at all. You pointed it out in a nice way. You were correct. I dont mind that at all. However, yes it is a very scary situation because there are few answers to be had on her right now.
Lennie, you are correct. Missing only 4 days. When this was being entered, there were other things happening at that time and I miscalculated in my head and with the typing of my fingers. Thank you for pointing that out. It has been corrected.
how can she not be eligible for an AMBER alert?….isn't any missing child in danger?…..time for someone in Lansing to review that law?!!!….scary
