Ok. I was just looking at this site becaues my daughter, Fallon Elkins, is a runaway too. She has been gone for seven days and we are having no luck finding our child. None at all. I am commenting to the person who said it was wrong to tie up law enforcement with something so petty as a runaway. To the people whose child is missing it is NOT petty. You envision all kinds of horrid things happening to your child, rape, murder, prostitution, drugs....abuse of every shape and form. You blame yourself and everyone around you. You jump everytime the phone rings and you don't eat, sleep or enjoy your life. You are in misery. Abuse and horrible things happen to runaways every day. They are the easiest victims because they themselves think they cannot call for help. People who think it is a petty thing are cruel, heartless and stupid people.
