A BURNLEY teenager who was missing for almost a week has been found safe and well by police in Staffordshire.
Bethany Wallace, 14, went missing from a family member’s address in Abbey Hulton at around 3.25pm on October 6.
She was discovered five miles away in Tunstall yesterday morning.
Beth, who grew up in the Cog Lane area, had moved to Stoke-on-Trent four months ago, where she had relatives.
A spokesperson said: “We would like to thank the media and members of the public for their assistance.”

I hope she is going to be prosecuted for wasting hundred of man hours of Police time spent looking for her, time that could have been put to much better use elsewhere.

Are we allowed to ask for the circumstances of her being found, e.g, staying with friends? Glad she's OK.

get a grip dirty harry.... she is still a child and was missing ,how the hell can she be done for wasteing police time, kids disapear all the time some are not lucky enough to be found, at least she safe unlike others. to many stupid comments on this site, prob got nothing better to do or say........
So as you can see my comments aren't stupid my dear and yes she is wasting police time. Maybe if she was brought to book she'll think next time about the consequences of her actions and stop being selfish.

Society cares more about dogs than about children. If she had a tag or something semi-permanent (like a chip) she would've been found quicker and saved a lot of time and money.
