Wheeewwww. That mushroom tea sure is strong!

These Chicken Little situations are going to doom serious missing persons reports and efforts. We already get an amber alert every time some guy is late getting his little darling back home to custodial mommy and every time a 16 year old girl goes to the Quick Mart and hitches a ride out of town with her friend-boy.

Hell, my phone goes nuts every time there’s a flood watch in the county and I live on a giant hill. I get ten alerts in the middle of the night about possible flooding in the swamp. Reasonable people that need sleep turn these notifications off. The internet is the boy that cried wolf but very happy she is ok

It's obvious you do not have children or either you live under a rock! A child predator can snatch a child in the blink of an eye and you will possibly never see them again or if you do, what you see will be heartbreaking. It's easy to make a flippant remark on here; but, when your child is in danger it's an entirely different situation.

10:16 - She is a college student, goob. Doubtful that a 'child predator' is snatching her up. I do have children, thanks. You miss the point, it seems. If everybody's picture is on a milk carton, eventually nobody pays attention to the milk carton.

This “child” is 26 years old. I rather doubt she would be snatched up at a playground.

Human trafficking - especially of young women - is a reality.

Maybe before reporting a grown person as a missing person it would be advisable to check in with boyfriend.
Could save law enforcement's time that could be used by a real missing person.

Carla Adams is 26 years old and was attending Belhaven as a student. When she stopped answering phone calls and text messages, the parents went looking for her. Her car was not at Belhaven. She was last seen at Belhaven on Thursday. Her parents filed a missing report with the Jackson Police on Saturday.

As a parent, wouldn't you go looking for your daughter if she was missing? Wouldn't you go to the boyfriend? Wouldn't you ping the phone to see its location? Wouldn't you check the bank statements to see if she was taking money out? Haven't you read about the carjackings in Belhaven? [1][2][3]

Even though Carla and I share the same surname, I am not related to her or her parents.

I want to say thank you to Belhaven and to the officers of the Jackson Police Department and other agencies who helped find her.

As always, I stand by my words, and do not hide behind the label of Anonymous. You say things here that you would not dare say to the face of her father or her mother.

That's all and fine Mr Adams, but for the sake of costing the Police money and resources and the fear she left in her parents minds, don't you think this girl did wrong? Anyone with common sense would agree with me. This gal wasted people's time and resources because she acted stupid by not telling anyone where she was.

She's 26!!! Don't know her but, most young men and women age 26 are not under mom and dad that close anymore. Perhaps she didn't want to be located at this point in her life? Maybe that's part of the issue here? If it is or it is not - glad she's safe and hope all is good!

1:24 nailed it. IIRC cops won't take a missing persons report on a healthy adult until they've been missing for three days. The problem between her and her parents in their business, although as a taxpayer I am annoyed to see money wasted like this.

We have an obligation, as a society, to look for dementia patients who disappear. Not so much a 26 year old who doesn't want to be found, though.
