One of my kids friends is missing. Her father walked her half way to school this morning, she only had 3 blocks to go. He didn't realize school was closed today due to snow. The school principal was waiting at the front door to send the kids back home. The principal says he never saw her. Three blocks and gone.

The police have already checked the homes of all the registered sex offenders that are on probation/parole. A local Search & Rescue team is on the way with Bloodhounds. She's been gone for 12 hours now.

We all know the odds, powerful prayers are needed for her. Her name is Adriana.

I think this is a parents worst nightmare. I will be praying for Adriana for a safe return home. Lets hope that everything turns out ok.

Prayers coming from the Hogs house. May God be with her parents and this precious child.

Prayers sent as I type this.

God Bless the family and we all pray for her safe return.

A prayer just went out.

This is every parents worst nightmare. May God be with her and her family.......

My families prayers are going out for Adriana. I have three daughters ages 7,8, and 11. I cannot imagine the horror the parents are going through.

now I feel very sick to my stomach, I hope this comes out good.

This crap is happening way too much. We need to protect the children much more. Bill O'Riely on Fox is really pushing for harsher penalties for pedophiles(sp). Minimum of 25yrs.

He has been confronting Governors on his show, and put's them on the spot. He has a map of the states that are too easy on child molestors. GO BILL!!

I'll keep her in my prayers too!

Jenny and I will be in special prayer for her and her family before we go to bed tonight. There aren't words to describe how we are feeling upon reading this post. Please give us any updates you might have.

I think I'd go insane if one of this happened to one of mine. What a sick world we live in anymore.

Our prayers are with her and her family and with your daughter, who must be worried for her friend.

She will be in my prayers tonight,the thought of something happening to a child just...I don't know how to put it into words.

Thanks for the prayers everyone. We are at an elementary school being used as the commans post. We were escorted in by the Chief of Police. Things are getting wierd.

The room they are using for friends/family houses the Lost & Found. Laying on the floor was the jacket we gave her. It was the jacket she wore to school this morning. Remember the principal said she never showed up? It's not likely to be someone elses jacket, we paid $100 for it and this is not a rich area. Her parents are both on Social Security and we wanted her to have something nice to wear.

The Chief took the jacket and thanked us. An odd look on his face. The mom is at the precinct getting questioned. I don't know how to take that. The dad is still at his apartment and not allowed to leave w/o police escort. We called him a few minutes ago. He said the detective said "Adriana came home with another girl and accused you of raping her".

I don't know if they were trying to scare something out of him or what. If that was a real accusation you'd think he'd be at the precinct. She is at our house almost everyday and has never said anything like that. She was at the house last night. I don't know what to think anymore.

And if they knew that she'd come home and said that then you'd think they found her. Yet the Search & Rescue is right outside getting ready with the dogs. I'm confused now.

If that's the case then at least she's ok now, and he can start rotting in a cell.

Hey, so long as the kid's found, heck with everything else. How old is this girl?

Never jump to conclusions. Right or wrong the police have some very strange tactics when solving cases like this. Just like when an adult is found dead they first look at the spouse, fiancé, BF/GF whomever. doesn’t always mean anything. Bottom line it seems the dad was the last one to see her so they start there first.

Either way my heart and prayers still goes out for this poor little girl.

After finding that jacket, I hope they're asking the principal some questions...

I was wondering if it didn't sound odd that he would walk her three blocks and not the whole way if it was only three blocks more?

I hope she's alive and safe.

Why did he only walk her half way!

She is only 10 years old. I just talked to one of her other friends and she confirmed the dad was raping her. She said she told people before and nobody believed her. The friend is with the cops now. There are other things I shouldn't get into, but it is leaning towards the dad now. But still no sign of Adriana. The dogs are out looking now.

I too was wondering why he wouldn't walk her all the way. He does every other morning.

So sad.

Damn,I hate hearing this kind of news. Prayers sent. X

I watched the blood hounds (I'm home now) start at her front door and turn away from the school. The went towards the boat dock at the lake. Total opposite direction of the school. My wife is following them and keeping me updated. According to the dogs, the father lied. He didn't walk her to school, or half-way. He walked her away from the school. My heart is heavy and I don't know how to tell the kids. I wont say anything until we know for sure. I'm still counting on God.
