Daughter Missing!!!!

Hi,
I am a newbie to this form and I need help. My daughter ran away when she was sixteen (she is 25 now)to California (San Diego). She was diagnosed with oppositional defiant behavior and some other diagnosis at a very young age. When she went to CA she got involved in drugs and ( I am fairly sure prostitution). She was arrested for a small amount of cocaine the Judge suspened the sentence and put her on probation with the stipulation if she failed a urine test or got into trouble she would be violated. She messed up and got two years, did the time and was due to meet her parole officer and she ran. She sent me a small note stating she screwed up again and that she loved me and would try to correspond more. The envelope had a fake address but was postmarked with a Tijuana, Mexico address. The longest she has gone without contacting me has been four months. That was two and half years ago. I listed her as a missing person and she is on some missing persons websites but I cannot find anything. First of all she has never held a regular job so the way one would normally find a missing person is through a paper trail. I have tried to get list of homeless shelters in Mexico but there is nothing available they do not have digital information like the USA. I cannot afford a Private Investigator. I do not understand other than drugs why someone would chose a homeless or high risk live style. She knows that I love her and I have ask her to return to her home state she has refused. My fear is that something has happened to her and I may never find out what. I do not know what else to do. Except Pray.

Tom.

Hi Linda,

I have pasted some links below about homelessness in Mexico, there are many listed on Google ... Search ' homelessness Mexico ' ... that is where I got the following links from. (Note many that are listed are for new Mexico.)

If you could first establish some form of communication with one of these organisations perhaps they in turn could give you some more useful regional information for you to follow.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but a starting point maybe.

I wish you luck in your search for you daughter .. If you can establish a contact with one of them maybe you would pass on the link to this site ? Please keep us informed of your progress as every bit of info that we get might just help someone in the future.

Hello Linda,

i just wanted to acknowledge your post and let you know my heart goes out to you and i pray that ur daughter is safe and maybe she is on the run with not wanting to go to jail - and feels that she is better off not contacting you in fear of either putting u in danger or maybe getting harrassed by the police.

Just some ideas.

I hope she comes home to you soon or at least contacts you - i cant even begin to imagine what it is like to not know - i have 2 children who are not teenagers yet.

Good luck and be strong and look after yourself.
