I Hope This Story Has A Happy Ending...

Missing Teen May Be In Portland


PORTLAND - The public is being asked to help in the search for a missing 15-year-old girl who is believed to be in danger.

missingChioma Gray is from Oxnard, Calif., but investigators have reason to believe she may be in Portland with a man identified as Andrew Tafoya.

Gray was reported missing Dec. 13. She and Tafoya were last seen in a white 2008 Acura TSX with California plates: 6AXX928.

If you have information or see the vehicle, you are asked to contact 911.

There are soooo many stories out here that end dreadfully. I hope Chioma is returned home (and issues are tended to) safely.

Scripture of the Day...

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3

1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

*****
This scripture is sooo true.
It doesn't matter how rich you are, the connections you have, the tawny neighborhood you live in, how productive your children are, how smart YOU THINK you are, the accolades you've received...if you DO NOT HAVE LOVE...it all means NOTHING.

You're just a mess of atoms and molecules.

Ephesians 6:12-13 (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,^[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. source

10-year-old gives birth
28 September 2007

BRUSSELS – A ten-year-old girl from Charleroi gave birth to a baby last year. The father was 13.
"The pregnancy was a big surprise to the girl and her mother," says doctor Robert Chef from Charleroi. "The child came to me with unexplained abdominal pain. She had also put on weight.

Her mother had even put her on a diet for a while but that had little effect. When we examined her it turned out she was nine months pregnant. The child was carrying a full term baby."

What surprised the doctor the most was that the 10-year-old really looked her age. "Some girls look like a teenager of 15 or 16 at that age. But not this girl."

Still the delivery went smoothly. The young mother was given special treatment however. She was not admitted to the regular maternity ward lest this raise too many curious questions. She was given a bed in the children's ward.
document.

"The father of the baby came to visit her there as well. Many pregnancies in young girls are the result of incest. But that was not at all the case here. The father was a schoolmate of 13. A young guy as well."

Robert Chef says the parents of the girl did not respond angrily. "The grandmother immediately took charge of the baby. She said she would raise it as her own child."

Yesterday the medical weekly De Huisarts reported that 57 Belgian 10-year-olds had been prescribed a birth control pill last year. Some for medical reasons, but others for actual birth control.
