I do not think she just ran away, as a teenager would probably still be texting (apparently it was in her nature to text often, according to her family/police) and there has been no activity since Saturday. Also didn't the reports say she hadn't used any debit card, etc? I don't think any 17 year old would NOT use money/a cell phone readily available to them...often, they just don't think that way.
Also, regarding Brittanee's mom saying that Brittanee was good, and she never had any problem out of her: I mean, if MY kid were missing, even if she WERE a typical, strong willed teenager, had a history of acting out, I wouldn't go giving people the idea she ran away, because they might give up looking for her, or slack on the investigation. I've been around websleuths enough to realize that this is a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation- if she went on saying that Brittanee was prone to run away, people would be suspicious, and vice versa...it happens.
I mean, what teenager ISN'T strong willed and uncontrollable at times? I was. My mom can attest to that.
I think this is suspicious. I hope and pray that she is out there somewhere, alive and well, but teenagers often think one day at a time...and if she did have a cell phone, I don't see why she wouldn't use it, even just to text. It's unlikely she would leave ALL of her friends behind, and not contact ANY of them, even if she did want to run away because of her home situation. If her cell phone were lost, etc, or she were robbed, I think she would have found a way to contact someone, by now.
I just hate this for her family![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
