So many good outcomes today! So happy she was rescued and will now be on the road to recovery. Praying for healing for this girl and hope she will always know that what happened to her is not her fault. She is a victim! And just a baby!

What a roller coaster of a day. Wow.

Puyallup is just 13 miles from Lakewood where the photo was taken.

I’m anxious to learn if LC came across any other teens who were trafficked by these creeps.

According to Puyallup police, LC was spotted by a passerby at a bus stop in the 1700 block of South Meridian about 3 p.m.

Bonney Lake teen found safe by Puyallup police

The Puyallup Police Department says LC was found around 3:00 p.m. Sunday at a bus stop in the 1700 block of S Meridian in Puyallup.

A passerby saw LC at the bus stop and alerted the police, and when police arrived LC was still there.

Police say LC was alone and no one else was detained at the time of her recovery.

I most certainly hope LC wasn’t a willing participant.

So Awesome. So happy she is safe.

That passerby may have saved a life.
Though I wonder if LC was with someone, or was she let go there.

Such good news....I wish her healing and recovery from this ghastly ordeal. For her parents too....they must be overcome with elation right now.

omg I am so relieved that she has been found!

I most certainly hope LC wasn’t a willing participant.

It doesn't matter if she was. She is a child and she cannot legally make those decisions.

Good news!

 

[Steleheart]

This is excellent news. I hope that LC is at least healthy. The only word is that she is reunited with family but I would expect that she is also being checked out medically.
Since she is a minor I would not be surprised if we don't find out very much more about her personally.
I wish them all healing and love.

 

[Hazelnutty]

Finally! Great news. Thoughts & prayers for LC's future

Thank God. I would guess she was released. With the airing of the LivePD segment on her last night, I’m sure whoever had her could not keep her any longer without risk of being caught. I was afraid they would kill her.

I pray she (and her family) is able to recover from this trauma. I’m sure it will be a long process. Now it’s time to get her name and face out of the media so she can begin to heal.

 

[quidnunc247]

Just checking in again, worried sick. Is good news ever gonna come?

Yes!!

 

[Mica]

It doesn't matter if she was. She is a child and she cannot legally make those decisions.

I agree. However, officials were not certain if LC was in the area of her own free will when she was spotted days ago. Regardless, she is a minor and not of the age of consent. She was exploited by these traffickers.

The FIRST of MANY thank you's go to the PPD, FBI, DOC, USMS, the media, LC's friends and family and the public! Thank you everyone!!!
