Lilyia looks older than 12, imo.

I think so also but it could also be the makeup and how she is carrying herself. I hope she is found safely and quickly.

Mom says the photo was from her birthday, she had put on makeup to take pictures. Hoping we don't have multiple posts commenting on her age. Her family is worried sick

There is nothing wrong with the way this child looks. If the makeup isn't something she wears all the time then pics without would be something to get out there.

Do not click on any of the news/youtube links on the Colorado comments. They are both fake links.

Perhaps I should clarify. The CPSD post has many, many, comments about Lilyia’s makeup and appearance. She’s a missing child, who needs to be found. It’s not helpful, to put it on repeat. I’m not aiming this at anyone here.

I’d like to know if any of her friends have information which would be helpful? Are there cameras in the neighborhood? It looks like she lived on a cul de sac. Did someone pick her up? Did she have an argument with her parent(s)? Was she doing ok in school?

Most of the comments are about her looking older than her age, but buried in among those comments is a comment posted by "AS,"
and IMO the "AS" comment (and the link she posted) is the one to look at. If what it says is true, I hope that MSM will follow up on it. IMO it looks credible.

I guess its notable if people are aware that they're looking for someone of a more stereotypically teenage appearance than tween. That said, its extremely common in 2024 for 12 year old girls to be very into makeup and skincare, and there's nothing very unusual about it. As a social phenomenon it might not be great at all, but its not individually remarkable about Lilyia or her lifestyle. In fact based on what I know of the girls that age right now personally, it'd almost be more remarkable if she wasn't into it. JMO

Replying to my own post to mention that the comment by "AS" includes a picture of Lilyia without the make-up, and she looks like a totally different person. She looks like a pretty, little 12 y.o. girl. A comment by "RM" also includes this same picture. Lilyia's mom "EG" commented that she had also posted the same picture to the thread, but that her post is no longer there. I can't understand why the PD hasn't released this picture as it must be the way she most likely looks in her everyday life.

ETA: I found the picture (and another) that her mom posted. They are still on the thread, but you need to click on "All Comments" to see them. They are in a reply by "EG" to a comment by "EG." She said that she gave several pictures to the PD, and PD chose the two that they are using.
