I spotted a young couple arguing in front of my house this evening, in the area of Gladstone and Ellis. The girl was no older than 16, and she was screaming with her boyfriend, who appeared a few years older than her, screaming that she could not go back to his house. She was pulling on his wrist, trying to pull him in the opposite direction, screaming and dead set against going back to his house. They were walking down Ellis Ave, in the direction of Moy, Hall and Parent. I went outside to ask if everything was ok, and the boyfriend apologized, and said that he was just trying to get home. The girl ignored me, and continued to plead with him, saying that she couldn't go back to his house, and that she had no where else to go. I stood in my driveway, watching and listening, because I wasn't sure what this argument was about. The boyfriend agreed to sit on the curb with her, and she appeared to calm down, so I went back inside. I continued to watch from the window, and saw him leave her sitting on the curb. I went outside again to try and talk to her and see if she was ok. She said she couldn't go back to her parents house because her mom was "messed up", and I am concerned for her because if in her mind, staying on the street was a better option than going back to her boyfriends house, then my feeling is that something bad happened there. My gut feeling was that she was afraid and completely alone. I asked if there was anyone I could call for her, but she said no, and she walked away in the same direction as her boyfriends house.
She said her name was BAILEY, and she had dark hair tied in a loose bun. She was wearing grey sweat pants and a black sweatshirt and a bright neon pink backpack. If anyone sees her in the Ottawa, Tecumseh, Parent, Walker border, please contact police and let them know. I have contacted them already to inform them of this situation, and to check in on her if they see her. If you see her walking around, she may not have a place to go.
