LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Gwinnett County Police Department is asking for the public's help to find a young teen girl who they believe is endangered.

May 24 was the last day of school.

Her cellphone was turned off a few hours later, and she has not been active on social media. She does not have access to money or a car.
According to the police, this is outside the girl's normal behavior, and she had perfect attendance in school.
Her father told FOX 5 his daughter is quiet, a bit antisocial, and a gamer. He says it is uncharacteristic for a student with perfect school attendance and someone who would not just leave her family.
"We really think that she was just talking to someone on an app and became friends with them, and they lured her out. Because she never would do anything like this," he said.
The case was originally reported to the Gwinnett County School Police who turned it over to Gwinnett Police Department.
