It seems now more a family non-communication for whatever reason than missing !
 
I am with you there, had similar thoughts, but also this one: if she is so mentally behind, is she able to go for a marriage without a person officially responsible for her? And where from do we really know how she is? And do we really know how the family is taking it with her bf and not showing it from their point of view? It may not be anything really bad, but causing some tension between them.

I agree, we just don't know. On the one hand, someone with a diminished mental capacity is vulnerable and more easily pulled into an abusive relationship. We don't know enough about her condition to know if she can consent to such a relationship. On the other hand, she may be just fine and her family has over-sheltered her because of her "diminished mental capacity"--I don't know what that means for her, but many people with mental disabilities DO live independently with a little help. I hope this young man she is involved with will reach out to family and show he is treating her well and not a cause for alarm. I can understand why her family is very concerned and upset that she has not been in touch, however. If the "boyfriend" is taking advantage of her, this really needs to be looked into by authorities. IMO, there's just too much we don't know to make a clear call one way or another on if she is "safe" right now. I hope she calls her family soon and visits home to show them she is safe.

Aah, ok! I thought maybe some text got lost, but nice to have a pic for sure!
 
At one time my daughter was described as being socially like a 12 year old. Now we realize she's bipolar and for her the social immaturity was a symptom when things got bad. Not saying this is what Leslie is dealing with....but just throwing out a possible scenario. If she is considered a vulnerable young adult but no one has guardianship over her she's free to do whatever. I'm not sure what to think.

I found finally something!
Teens like 19-year-old Leslie are reported missing. She left home in August, the day after her birthday. Her mother, Melissa, said the girl ditched her cell phone and deleted her Facebook account, then vanished.


“It’s just that sinking feeling. Not knowing anything,” said Melissa.


The mother of five reached out to KETV to publicize her missing daughter. We posted the girl’s photo on Facebook and learned weeks later she was safe.


Police located her quickly, found she was not in danger and took her off the “missing persons” list. But because of her age, they would not share the girl’s location with the mother.

Leslie told KETV Newswatch 7’s Julie Cornell she would not be going home. She said she’s living with friends.
