Where is Phylicia Barnes?

When you hear that a teenager has disappeared or is missing a lot of things come to mind. Maybe there was family disagreement and she left to blow off steam. Maybe she went to a friend’s house and didn’t tell family members where she was going. Teenagers are strange creatures and their habits can be very confusing so you just never know. As a parent you never want to think the worst. So when I first heard the story of Felicia Barnes being the parent of a teenager I said to myself maybe she is with friends. Than the news reports started to share details that just did not make sense. She is not from Baltimore she is from Monroe North Carolina and she was here visiting an older sister. She was left alone during the day while the sister was at work. Felicia updated her face book status to say that she was in the house with my sister’s boyfriend and that was last thing ever heard from her and that was on December 28, 2010. The police are saying that they believe foul play was involved but there have been no new leads or information. The police are baffled and are stuck, they have been pleading with the public for help. My heart goes out to the family because not knowing if she is ok and where she is has to be absolute torture. The odds of a missing African American teenager making national headlines are very slim they use this crazy point system for their stories and a missing African American teenager just doesn’t score high enough to make the slate for national news unlike a missing Caucasian Female. I will applaud the local media for keeping Phylicia in the headlines long enough to make sure that she made the national headlines. I will keep a close eye on this one and give updates as they come out. If you think that you have seen her Please contact 855-223-0033.
