    She is not safe until the issues at home are figured out.

    The mom trying to send Allison to mental institution so they can legally claim that she’s crazy and her mind is not stable enough to make a decision, this so the mom can have full custody of Allison, and doesn’t have to pay the ex husband child support. I mean Allison best friend mention that her family have butt load of money. So I’m guessing this why she ran away.

    keep her away from the mom!
  • complete failure of the judicial, family court, and law enforcement... such a tragedy that this little girl was failed by so many grown ups. It appears her mother suffers from NPD. We need to do better in listening to children. How the hell are our schools expected to let children make gender affirming decisions when we don't even listen to them about child abuse by their mothers.

    Wondering why this whole time dad was silent but this news conference puts the story in a new light.
  • @whatsgoingon07
    Give the girl a mic, ask her where she been this whole time and why she left
  • @selam1353
    Imagine if she was running away from her dad! He would have been arrested and mainstream media would have eaten him alive, his story would be everywhere, in the main time portraying the mom as a hero

    One of the hardest experiences for a young teenager is going through their parents' divorce. I am happy she is safe. Alison, you will be fine. It will take some time, but you will be fine.

    There’s a video Alison recorded couple days/ day before she went missing. It was her at her dad’s house fully hysterical bc she didn’t want to go with her mom. Her grandma also made a post about it, how her mom wants to lock her up in mental facility and uses it against her. Watch the video of her not wanting to go back to her mother it’s heart breaking. She’s not just a kid she’s 15 she has developed thoughts and feelings if she’s being abused someone needs to take her away from her mother
