KUALA LUMPUR: A 15-year-old girl who was reported missing after allegedly running away from home last Wednesday has been found safe.
The teenager, Nur Shafina Maisarah Abdullah, was reported missing after her mother realised she had not returned home from school. Her mother filed a police report at the Kajang police headquarters (IPD) the same day.
Kajang district police chief ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said Nur Shafina Maisarah was found when her friend's mother became aware of the case through social media and brought her to the police station on Saturday (Sept 16).
"The 48-year-old woman said she saw Facebook posts regarding the missing teenager who had been staying at her house in Semenyih, Selangor," he said in a statement on Sunday (Sept 17).
Mohd Zaid said Nur Shafina's friend was unaware that the girl had run away from home as she did not mention it, adding that the police investigation found that the teenager left home due to a misunderstanding with her family.
"The victim was found safe with no injuries and was handed over to her parents at the Kajang IPD," he added. – Bernama
