Poor kid. Hope she's alive.

 

This is not good at all.

Amber Alert: Baraboo police seek missing 10-year-old girl considered ‘endangered’

Oh little girl, please let someone know where you are. You are worth everything in the world.

 

This is the middle of the 1100 block of 12th street where she was last seen.

This one shakes me to my core. Kodie, please be safe sweet girl.

 

I hope they find her quickly if she took an unknown amount of pills..

 

Amber Alerts often require evidence of an abduction, but I am grateful that WI guidelines are (to me) a bit ambiguous as to when an AA can be activated. This is a prime example of LE not needing to locate a suspect, but desperately needing to locate a child.

I remember well teenage angst. This is much deeper than that it seems. Praying for her safety tonight.

 

Prayers said for this child~

 

Oh gosh 10 years old, little sweetie my heart aches.

 

Ten!!!!!!!?!?!?! How would she even know pills could kill her at 10? What is this poor baby going through?? She's 10. She can't hide that well. Either someone did something to her, is helping her or she's not far.

 

Was she seen walking on any video? No shoes?? Mmmm.

 

The alerts are going crazy on my Tv and cell phone. Praying for this little one.


ETA: I'm in Milwaukee county.

 

Depression and suicidal thoughts do start this young and younger. Bullying is so painful and school stressful for some children. They are also exposed to the concept of self harm through media and from peers. IMO.

Please be safe. My heart really goes out to her parents. Please no judgement. I hope she's home safe today.

 

What pills has she managed to get her hands on at this age?

regarding her note saying it can’t do this’..... do what?

 

Digging around my guess is she is bullied or depressed because of the pandemic or being home alone and she can't do "this" meaning living. Her mom is very young, a nurse, and in a new relationship (the guy seems great by all accounts, don't think there is a problem with that- hopefully) so it is possible Kodie feels alone and without a lot of support but her mom clearly loves her a lot. I really hope the pills she took are something that can't kill her but her mom having a medical background there could easily be things in the house. This is such a small town and she probably didn't get far.



Other than known hangouts, the forested park areas north of her neighborhood look like good search areas - if her intent was suicide in hiding she would want to go into the woods. I think the cemetery and river are too far to walk without her being seen. The woods right there behind the hospice are a good bet. I wonder what kind of crops are in those fields? If corn, that could be a daunting prospect as well.

 

looking on google street view the field at the end of 12th st appears to have corn crops....but i'm not sure.

 

AMBER alert issued for 10-year-old girl missing from Baraboo

On this link there is a video; Amelia Jones (the news reporter) said she spoke to the family and they said that they
"believed she might have been experiencing some bullying and that had affected her mood lately."

I wonder who was bullying her? I took the "recently moved to the area" to mean that it was very recent; schools have not been in session since March. I guess "recent" either means more than 4 months ago or school mates arent the source of the bullying. Maybe the source is her group of "friends" outside of school? Sad regardless of who it is.

Come home safely Kodie.

 

Could be online bullying .... there’s some nasty people in the online world. Til Tok springs to mind

 

Ten years old and suicidal... I'm so sorry sweet girl, please come home safely, you can do this!
