So great to hear!

Nice to see a happy ending for this story.

I wish there was some way that some of these teenagers who are angry and confused can just fast forward to their future and see how silly their behavior is. I hope she can overcome whatever is troubling her and move on to a better life.

Children are not born this way. It's called ATTENTION and it doesn't cost a penny! The bottom line is she is safe (Thank God!), and hopefully her message was heard loud and clear.

Praise God for answers to prayers. I'm so thankful that she is safe and back home. I will continue to pray for this family's healing.

That was very ignorant Tim. No one said they didn't care. A child was missing. You're going to tell me if you had a missing child you wouldn't pray?

So glad she is safe!

Look at tim how about have your daughter go missing and see how you feel. Get a life you scumbag

What a blessing Thank god!!!

I deleted the last comment due to violations of our policy.

"Me on the other hand, I would actually be out looking for my daughter. Granted, she wouldn't feel the need to runaway from a 'parent' with a different last name than her, and be made a poster child of teenage drama on a local news site, but that's a whole other story."

Tim your comments are nothing but ignorant, uncalled for and really contribute nothing to this wonderful story. And what difference does it make if a "parent" has a different last name??

I'm glad to see that she has been found and hopefully this will open up some communication between child and parents to help prevent this from happening again.

Wow, That didn't take long for that to get out of hand. Another comment has been deleted because it violates the terms of use. Please, folks, try to be civil to one another.

Tim, do you know first hand what the environment is? In your earlier post, it seemed you made a lot of assumptions and are now rationalizing your agrument by making up an offensive scenario. If you don't the situation, you should not be making speculations or accusations.

Thanks Alex, Steven for monitoring... really missed the point when it went astray... everyone is grateful this young woman is safe... too many of them are not found alive... believers are commanded to pray and prayer is powerful... answer to prayer is understood to be God's will... but He does command His people to pray... we continue to lift up this young woman and her family in prayer - for healing and building more understanding in their relationships to one another.

Well said sunbeam :)

Glad she was found. Tim, why so much anger about religion? Were you abused by a priest or something? Maybe you should see a therapist who can explain tolerance of others beliefs to you.

Tim, you are either a child or have your own issues for you to project such mean and poisoned thoughts. Do you know this family first hand?? I doubt it. You have no idea what kind of a home she came from,i f it was abusive, or anything else for that matter. Unless you were in that girls head, you don't know anything! You have the wright to not believe in God and prayer, but to blame other people who wanted her safe return is not only cruel, but the lowest a human being could go. You are a bad person to make such comments. I will pray for you, because you need it.

Outstanding that she was found safe...and a great job by the Plainfield Police on making a contact and locating a missing 13 year old!

What do you think Tim? Don't you think the Plainfield Police deserve a high five for this one?

Oh and go ahead and comment on my spelling cause im typing on a cell phone

We shd all pray for Tim.

Hi everyone i am reynas mother and i came to the oswego patch to thank everyone who reposted her missing article and for my community who was constantly involved and callin in the tips and especially the people that do not know my family and had concern.as for tim u can go about the religion thing but i know god personally and prayer does work because my daughter is home and safe.and mayb if you knew him you wouldnt be the way you are.you are nobody to pass judgement on my daughter me or my family.one day you will be judge and this will be part of your judgement day.i am a single mother and a darn good one.it does not matter what her or my last name is heck it wouldnt matter if she was red or purple.what does matter is we love each other and she knows it and you without knowing the facts and just going by assumption i feel really bad for you

I am glad she is home safe. Tim..I will pray for you...but not very much. You are part of the problem in this Country. Prayer does work. As for all the starving children in the world! They are the result of sin...and people like you.

Not Quite sure what I said that would have been offensive to anybody yet my comment was also not posted. Scott you have no civil rights and the constitution must not apply here freedom of speech. I will try again Thank God that she is safe and sound. Tim 1 in 4 Children in our country go to bed hungry every night,should we ignore that? What does Africa have to do with any of this I am so over the crazy things people say. My point to Mr. Tim was if he was so concerned about Africa that he should move there and stop making rude assumptions about people and not worry about others beliefs just his own. ALL THAT MATTERS IS A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL IS ALIVE AND WELL and was not found in a field.

I have removed a comment because it violates our ToS. Please let's keep the comments clean, everyone.

Wow...how things have gotten out of hand since I first made the first comment on Oswego Patch about Reyna. Nasty people....Really...
I am sooooooooooooooo glad that she is ok. What ever the reasons why she left, I beleive that between love, faith and communication...things can be worked out. When it boils down to life...what really matters are the people you love and the people that love you. No matter if we know the family or don't know them...no one wants to see a death or loss of such a sweet girl. It would be tragic for all involved. Lets be grateful !!! Reyna- Jennifer says "Hi" and take care ...

So glad she was found safe and sound. I'm not sure what is up with this Tim guy or why he felt the need to comment at all. Something awful must have happened to him and he just felt the need to bring that to everyone's attention for some unknown reason. So okay Tim...I'll feel sorry for you but only because I pity you.

Hello, Reyna's mother I am very happy that your daughter is at home and safe with you and your family. By me being a parent of three girls and son I CAN imagine what you were feeling and thinking but thank god it turned out with an happy ending. I have a 16 year old thats the youngest still in high school. I live in a nice area in Plainfield, her bus stop is a block away and I MAKE SURE she is dropped off and waited on until the bus arrives. Just because there are so many sick freaks out here just waiting for you to let your guards down. Stay safe God bless you and your family.

Anyone that is a true Christian, please do not fuel the disbelief of these non-believers by being nasty. That is what they are lookinf for. We know the state the world is in and we know the devil is always busy and will use any vessel to attack. Continue to pray and be a beacon to the world with not only your actions, but your words. We are the only light in a world of darkness. Praise God this young lady is safe and I will pray that God works on her and her family regarding any situation known or unknown. No one on this thread needs to know anything that lead to this young lady leaving home. God knows and is more than capable of fixing this families hearts.

So glad your daughter is back home.

Glad she's home. I know many were concerned.

Prayers were answered and as all struggles remind us how much we need God in the difficult times. We have enough food to feed everyone but free will holds some back from giving to those less fortunate. Let us learn how to solve a problem and not create one. Thank you Lord for all your blessings and let that little girl of 13 know she is loved by you and her mother. We are all sinners that make mistakes. Prayers will be answered in Gods time and based on what plan he has for us. If Tim does not pray and believe God hears him, I hope others will pray for him.

Tim, Let me just clear up some issues. I am the aunt of Reyna. I can tell you that she was NOT abused at home. You ask why were the police involved. They are there to serve and protect. They used their service to bring my niece home, and they did a fine job! My sister has already paid for this service by paying her taxes so no need to cry boo hoo about who is paying for what? :-)

I'm glad She's home safe and sound. The thing that angers me, is these kids running away from home. I don't know the family situation, but I do know, that these kids today, do not like the word No! I am a single mom of a daughter and I Thank God that she has never attempted to run away. But there is always that possibility, because, like I stated earlier, they don't like the word No! It has nothing to do with parenting or the last name. I am constantly reminding my daughter of the things that could happen, if she decides to go. She may not come home safe. As we all know, teenagers think they are invincible and my daughter is one of them. It angers me that these kids purposely put their parents through something like this. If something that bad is happening at home, then let the authorities know. Otherwise stay home and talk it out. Once again, I thank God She's home, it could have turned out for the worse.

Hi Karie,
So glad Reyna is home safe. Been worried sick about her all week. God is good!
Hallie & Lexi's mom

Thank goodness she was located, and apparently unharmed. And Tim is obviously a moron but I have to pile on here...any time a minor is 'missing', they are in danger. Most children do not run away expecting to end up on the streets, on drugs, selling themselves, begging for food, searching for a safe place to sleep...yet this is what can happen in the blink of an eye. Thankfully this CHILD had resources to turn to when she thought leaving home was the solution. That is not always the case, and that situation can change in a heartbeat. The police take these matters seriously because they are serious. Why do you think there are curfews for minors? It's not just to keep them from keying your car or sneaking beer out of the fridge...it's to protect them too. God bless this family as they try to address the problems up to this.

Thank you GOD! You answered our prayers again!!!!!!

Good news!

felt this all the way in California! Glad to hear she is ok!

Happy to hear Reyna is safe. So many people were worried about her. Blaming or accusing her family was uncalled for. In general, we should all be concerned about the way our young teen girls are acting these days. All the drama and all "about me". I agree with the woman who brought up they can't take "NO" for an answer. One thing I cannot tolerate is disrespect. These kids aren't our "best friends" and can't have and do whatever they want. They are NOT the boss. To rebel or get attention some are swearing, developing eating disorders, doing drugs, cutting themselves, having sex, etc.... the list goes on. I saw some pretty nasty posts on FACEBOOK a couple weeks ago, with frequent use of the "f" word, which in most cases, was used in reference to sex. And posts about being bi-sexual - girl preferring girl?? At 13? That was very disturbing to say the least. This is unacceptable and I suggest to anyone with young teenagers to MONITOR their Facebook account. And please, What's up with the pictures of young girls sticking out their tongue?? I'm sure the young boys get a thrill out of that.... I think it's disgusting!

Wow!? Someone asked me to forward Reyna's picture last week so I thought I would check in to see if there was any news as I know I would be devastated if it were my child or someone I knew. I was completely shocked by the comments from Tim. Obviously, anyone with connected brain cells knows that a teenage girl's emotions are in overdrive and anything can make them upset and act impulsively regardless of how good or bad their family situation is. One the other hand, she very well could have been abducted by a child molestor. If it were my child, I would be grateful for any kind of help including prayers, FB Sharing, looking for her... Tim needs to get a life and focus on his own life since he has no interest in helping here. I recommend not engaging in his his ignorant, uneducated posts. Just saying...

Sorry about the typos above and forgot to mention that I thank God that she has returned home safe.

Thank God, Reyna is home and safe... still lifting the family in prayer for a strengthening of their relationship... mothers/daughters... can be a tough one... we all need prayer in raising our children... for wisdom, patience and loving discipline.

Sunbeam says it all. Excellent comment. That being said, I am always amazed at the hate spewed at Tim and others on this site for simply stating their opinion. His opinion, if different from others (and it is quite different), is valid and makes a point we must all consider. It is a crime in Illinois to make a false police report, pull a fire alarm as a prank or claim your child was abducted if she was not. I do not know the facts so as of now I will just be glad she is safe and with her family. Give Tim a break and let him to his opinion. Has anyone asked how much it cost in resources to find this girl and why the story was reported as it was?

Tim and Monica are just trolls. Ignore them. And they cease to exist.
