Missing Burnley girl found in Staffordshire

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.

I am not sure if going somewhere without telling anybody could be classed as a crime.How could she be prosecuted?

Glad she is found. She is probably unhappy about something and needs to talk to her parents about it.

Yes, had there been an option to comment on the original story, given the age, ethnicity, sex and supervisory arrangements for this person, I would have suggested the police might have started looking at kebab shops and nearby CCTV in both locations.
Are we allowed to ask for the circumstances of her being found, e.g, staying with friends? Glad she's OK.

I must have missed something - I see no mention of `a man' in this report.

They must have kebab shops in Tunstall as well, who would have guessed?

This "child" will be more worldly wise and grown up than most adults, she'll go missing on a regular basis and end up coming back whenever she can be arsed. The Police then spend time working with this "child" along with other agencies trying to educate her as to how vulnerable they are and steer her life in the right direction, but guess what, she doesn't listen and goes and does it all again and then the police have to down tools and find her again, deploying more resources. In the mean time houses are getting burgled groin is being dealt and people are being injured on the roads. In this day and age where the thin blue line has never been as thin the finite resources have to be used sparingly. Now if for example it was an April Jones type missing child scenario then yes, everything else takes a back seat but these circumstances are totally different.

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.

Trying to make it sound like she went missing FROM Burnley and was found ALL THE WAY down in Staffordshire when all along she was only 5 miles away from where she went missing from. People who write on here are backwards in the head.

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.
