WTH? This child has her own personal FB page? 

https://www.facebook.com/aliahna.lemmon?sk=wall

I was actually thinking that myself. How does FB allow a 9 yo to have this? Doesn't it go against TOS?

Merry Christmas Red and all my Monkey friends!

Yes, you are right Red. I think the age is supposed to be 13 years old for Facebook. But the kids put a older birthdate. Unless someone complains to FB, it continues.....It is a parents responsibility to keep their child off FB...

Sorry, Labu. When I first saw your post, I thought this was a FB for finding this baby. Later, I realized it was her own personal page you had posted.
I can't believe the parents allowed a 9 year old to be on FB......

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) -- The desperate search for a missing 9-year-old Fort Wayne girl goes on this morning, while most of us celebrate the quiet and comfort and joy of Christmas morning.

Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon is still missing, last seen around 10 A.M. Friday near Clinton and Diebold Road in the Northway trailer park.

I am guessing if you would allow your child to live around so many convicted sex offenders, being on FB is probably the least of these people's parenting faux pas'.

This is most likely going to turn out to be one of those cases where we wonder how something did not happen sooner to this little girl.

This isn't the Merry Christmas one Fort Wayne family had hoped for.

"We want to find her, get her home for Christmas well, safe, sound and happy,” said Elizabeth Sepponen, family member.

Nine-year-old Aliahna Lemmon of Fort Wayne has been missing since late Friday night, early Saturday morning. Police say she was last seen in the Northway trailer park around Clinton Street and Diebold Road.

Aliahna’s grandpa died earlier this month. Sepponen says the family hasn't been coping very well and her cousin, Tara, also Aliahna’s mother, has been very ill. Sepponen says Aliahna and her two younger sisters have been in the care of a neighbor for the past week while Tara recovers. Police say Aliahna was last reported sleeping in a chair at the neighbor’s house before she went missing. Sepponen said when Tara called to check up on her daughters, the neighbor realized Aliahna was missing.

“The babysitter thought that she had gone home to Tara. So nobody realized, because of the miscommunication, that she had actually been missing for a few hours,” Sepponen said. “Tara’s pretty freaked out.”

Police interviewed neighbors and family members all weekend. Aliahna lives in a trailer home with her mother and step-father in a neighborhood where 15 registered sex offenders also live. However, Sheriff Fries says they’ve already gone to each offender’s house and interviewed them. He says none of them are suspects.

“We're not going to rule out anything as far as foul play. Maybe she's just at a friend's house,” said Ken Fries, Allen County Sheriff. “We're hoping somebody sees this and says, 'Oh Aliahna's at our house, come get her.'”
 ::snipping2::
“They're not quite sure where she went or what was in her mind at the time,” Sepponen said.

But Sheriff Fries says that’s unlikely. “Nine is young to be running away, especially when you couple that with Christmas,” Sheriff Fries said.

Sheriff Fries says the FBI, fire departments, and city, county, and state police are searching for the missing girl. Officers are using everything they can to find her...boats, planes, K-9 units, ATVs and man power—everything except an Amber Alert.

“Justifiably so, if they put Amber Alerts out for every missing child or possible run away or anything, nobody would pay attention to them. So there's certain criteria that have to be met for an Amber Alert,” Sheriff Fries said.

According to amberalert.gov, an Amber Alert will not be issued unless: there is reasonable belief abduction has occurred, police believe the child is in imminent danger, there is enough information about the description and abduction of the child, the child is 17 or younger, and the child's name has been entered into the national crime information center. Sheriff Fries says this particular case meets none of these criteria.

Sheriff Fries does not encourage people to help in the search because it could add confusion to officers who are searching. But, that hasn’t stopped Sepponen and her family.

“My sister and I are out handing out flyers, we have relatives that are out, people from our churches,” she said.

Even Facebook pages have been created and dedicated to finding Aliahna. So far there's over 1,450 “Likes” and “Shares.”
 ::snipping2::

The reporting has been horrible, so many conflicting stories. I even read that this little girl had POST TRAUMATIC SYNDROME.....WTH. Why would a 9 year old have PTS? ( I'll see if I can find the article and post it)

[cartfly]

This is the article I was referring to that said the child had PTS:

So far, Fries said they are not ruling any possibility of what could have happened to the girl out, including foul play. There have not been any custody, abuse or neglect issues in the past, but family members said the girl is partially blind, has hearing problems and suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Activity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant with Conduct Disorder.

I find it telling that this 40 year old caretakers name and address is not being released. I believe he holds the key here.....
I am trying to not be judgmental about this whole situation. I will bite my tongue for now...

I went to college in Fort Wayne and grew up just a short distance away.  I never heard of sex offenders when I was growing up, or even now realized that there could be that many in one area.  It is almost as though they were grouping together.  Is it just the low cost of the housing in that area, I wonder?  One more case where the odds were stacked against this little one, probably from the beginning.

Police Still Searching for Missing 9 Year Old Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon in Fort Wayne, IN ...Numerous  Registered Sex Offenders Live Near Girl's Home

No way she ran away. Between the volume of sex offenders and no one knowing where the hell this girl was, why don't you just a wounded gazelle in front of a pack of wolves. 

Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon still missing …

Fort Wayne, Indiana police continue to search for missing 9 year old  Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon. She was last seen December 23, 2011 in the Northway trailer park around Clinton Street and Diebold Road.  Elizabeth Sepponen, family member stated Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon is partially blind and deaf and suffers from mood and conduct disorders and suspects she ran away. Sorry, I do not buy it. The lack of looking out for the welfare of this little 9 year old girl is pathetic. Also, the fact that there are so many registered sex offenders in this trailer park is beyond disgusting. Runaway? How far could a 9 year old girl have run to in the short amount of time she was so-called missing? Of course the fact that there are so many sex offenders in the area like cockroaches should be a big concern.

No problem cart...I had it on the friends page anyway...I am so disturbed by this case.  So many bad thoughts of what may of happened keep running through my head.

This was in April 2010:

I am almost certain that it is her.  Asking the city of Centerville, Iowa to allow a dangerous dog into the community for her handicap daughter.  Wonder if she had a dog with her that night?

Why would you use a "dangerous" dog for a handicap child? I bet it was a pit bull she wanted to bring in.
