bifemmefatale's 16-year-old daughter has run away from home in the Chicago-area. She is currently believed to be heading towards a Rainbow Gathering in Carbondale, IL.
I have some friends in that area with potential community overlap. Have mentioned it on Twitter. Need to double-check if they're there; if not, I may do a brief LJ thing too. Hope "FoaF" was ok.
I ran away from home when I was fifteen, too. It was the best way out of a terrible situation, and it taught me to be self-reliant and showed me the value of myself after a childhood spent in abusive circumstances. This does not sound like that to me at all. I know I'm on the outside looking in, but leaving your bags behind and taking off with two guys for a gathering that's a month away... it doesn't wash.
