    My kids walk through the woods in back of my house to get to 7trails and hollywoods to play with friends. When you think your kids are safe they are really not safe.With all the building they are doing in neighborhood bring more people your still not safe at all. You have to watch your back. I hope she is found safe and alive.

    I honestly think I saw her standing on the side of Route 7 not far from Abingdon Road yesterday afternoon around 5 PM. She had what looked like a large backpack or a suitcase with her. I called HCSO this AM and let them know. Now, I kinda regret not stopping.

        If so contact HCSO that intersection is covered in cameras. If you can fully. Describe her they may have be able to subpoena the video. It will help a little. At least we will know some of this was definitely free will and not all criminal. Hurry the clock is ticking.

        Just saw your post. She was standing on the right side of the road as you head toward Baltimore. She did not have her hand or thumb up as if she was trying to get a ride. I am pretty sure she was right on the shoulder with a house behind her. That is why I believe it was fairly close to Abingdon Road. There are not many houses on that side of the street; especially as you draw closer to your development. The bag was sitting on the shoulder in front of her feet. It ws taller than wide; sort of like a big backpack or a piece of carryon luggage. I “think” it was multi-colored sort of like a rug or upholstery pattern, but I am really not sure. I had not heard of Kirra being missing at that point, otherwise I would have stopped. I did not see anything as I drove home yesterday. I am praying for you all.

        Good for you Gretchen for being so polite in your last post. As a mother I feel and understand your immense pain. People that have not been in your situation just cannot understand. However, that is no reason to post such negative information to a public place. Prayers for you and Kirra and “Kid”.

          Mom you are strong and Beth thanks for supporting her. As for kid (WHO IS TRULY A KID) grow up. I take it your female by your comment and the way it was worded. Girls are kidnapped and rape every day. You could be next. If mom is wrong prove it. A list of names and addresses (leads as we called them) would help. People she are close too. And people like that may have sent her AWOL (absent without leave). When you grow up you will understand and I will no longer use the thingy (this is the thingy). My friends call me crazy cause I truely am. Unfortunately for you I have sisters and saw your dumb and uncaring post. Mamma Gretchen sorry for not being as sweet but if you ask anyone that knows me I did good. I didn’t curse. Hope all is well.

      You do realize authorities can trace your post? Perhaps you should think about that. The crime you’ve committed online is called slander. You can be arrested.

      But on another note, you do realize that you lack a serious amount of empathy and sensitivity to a very crucial situation? You should be ashamed of your post.

    To Kirra’s Family, No matter if she ran to be with a boyfriend or if he took her or someone else did… It is not safe for our children to be out there in that world without the protection and love of thier parents and families. I too have a son (13 years old) who “runs away” I feel your pain and anxiety… From our family to yours we are praying for her safe return.
    “kid” I must agree with the rest of the concerned adults on the web searching for kirra you should be very careful what you say about other people especially in writing on the web. You obviously do not have children of your own, so you have no right to trash someone elses child or the way they choose to handle this situation. I to will be praying for you.

    To Kirra’s Family,

    Everyday when I drive to and from work I will keep my eyes open for her. I generally travel from the Bel Air area to the Joppa area for my daughter’s daycare and then to the Baltimore area for work. And the reverse going home. I will also alert my husband to this as well. He travels a wide spread of Harford County on a daily basis for his work.

    I am really sorry about this. I have a 14 year old sister-in-law who decided a few weekends ago to “run away” and has some of the issues that you mentioned in some of your articles. She also left without her cell. It is very scary. I wish you the best of luck.

    Krazy,

    Yes I would have to agree! Kid you probabally know things that could really help Kirra’s parents. As hard as it may be to hear some of these things, kids talk! Especially to one another. And whatever it is that you may know, who the boyfriend is, who she was talking to, etc. any of that info could help to lead her parents to where she is.

    It is sad, though, that reports in the Baltimore Sun stated that she is alleging her mother abused her. It is clear she really does need her medication and the supervision of a physician. Her mother certainly has her hands full. The person who dropped her off at the HC Detention Center should be questioned for assisting in her disappearance. Prayers to this young girl and her mother as they work towards recovering from such a difficult ordeal.

    I am SO relived to hear she has been found. I know a lot of people were searching and praying. Now I fervently hope that Kirra and her Mom can get on with life and that Kirra can get the help she needs. She should have a lot of living still ahead of her and I hope she is able to enjoy it in the most positive of ways one day at a time.
