Regarding the missing girl that was found, I'm proud to see that our group members are not demanding explanations regarding her being found safe.
“As part of one of the organisations that were assisting, I'd like to state that due to her being a minor we have laws to follow, unfortunately no information gets given out pertaining to a minor.
“We request the public to respect the law and to respect the family's privacy. Thank you to everyone for sharing the fliers, the prayers and concern. This group is amazing, thank you.”
In another post she thanked all those who forwarded the flyer as well as other role-players.
