My 16 year old daughter has run away repeatedly over the last month. She has a 20 year old boyfriend who she met on Facebook. They apparently met, and started sneaking out of our house in the middle of the night, without our knowledge. When we stopped this activity, his family got involved and have not only encouraged this "dating" activity, but have actively aided our daughter's disobedience. They provided her with a cell phone a week or two ago to contact them, which we discovered and turned over to the police. We believe that they are harboring her at this time, but cannot prove it. She has now been missing for 2 days. Friends in the neighborhood state that she was planning to leave the country with this guy and marry him - but she has no identification on her, and it is unlikely that this boyfriend has much money to travel very far. The police are doing what they can, but do not have enough solid evidence to search this family's home or property.
Our daughter has changed so much since meeting this man. She was a cheerleader at her high school, had decent grades, and a happy personality. Now she is hostile, disobedient, failing in school (she was expelled before Christmas break), and doesn't seem to care about her appearance at all. She has become a consummate liar and has started smoking.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
