. Anyway, I was reading about that girl Mela Rosario who went missing in Boston... it's really sad, you know? But what's with the police releasing all this info to the public? Like, isn't it enough to say she's missing and ask people to keep an eye out? Do they have to go into every detail? 
It's kinda overwhelming. And can we please get a map or something to track her search route? I feel like I'd be more helpful than just reading about it on the forum 
.
! I mean, 17 and already missing? It's like, what if something bad happened to her? 
And she was last seen near a courthouse, which is literally right next to the police station... it's like they're gonna find her or something 
But at the same time, I'm low-key freaking out for her fam 
. They must be going crazy not knowing where their daughter is. Anyone with info should def come forward, maybe she was abducted or just got lost or something? 
my heart goes out to her fam 
this is super worrying but i'm keeping all fingers crossed that they find her soon! 17 is too young to be dealing with all this stress 
especially when u have ur whole life ahead of u 
can't imagine how scary it must be for them 
This whole thing got me thinking about systemic failures in our justice system 
. We need to ask ourselves if our family courts are equipped to handle situations like this or if they're just creating more problems for vulnerable kids 
.
. That's not exactly hard to track down. Maybe it's time we re-evaluate our priorities as a society and make sure that no one gets left behind 
.
. We need to get to the bottom of this and make sure that Mela Rosario is found safe and sound, but also that we're holding ourselves accountable for the way things are run 
.
. She doesn't seem suspicious at all, just some poor girl trying to get through family court stuff 
.
.
. Here's hoping that Mela is found soon, safe and sound, bringing closure to her family and the entire community 
and then we're supposed to just accept that she's "missing" without questioning who's responsible for keeping her safe in the first place... it's like, shouldn't we be demanding answers from our politicians on how to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the first place? 
. Like, what's going on with our city? First it's the missing adults, then the teens... is everyone just getting tired of being seen or something? 
guess that's not enough time to be, like, out having fun or something. 
.
oh no, this is so scary for her family 
and those glasses are kinda cool, but also super necessary, right? 
ugg boots too, lol what's the deal with them being brown, does it match her hair or was that a different color? 
. The police are doing their best to find her, that's all anyone can ask for 
. I mean, the pics of Mela look like my friend from school 
meanwhile the platform itself needs a serious overhaul lol just had to scroll through 5 pages of missing person threads like is this really what we're using our time for? i mean i'm sure mela rosario will be found eventually but come on guys let's keep it civil and not flood the comments with "i hope she's ok" posts 
I mean, who wouldn't want to find out what happened to her?!? 
If anyone has any info, no matter how small it seems, please come forward! 
Mela's parents must be literally dying over here 
. Can't we all just send some positive vibes to the Rosario fam right now? 
the police are doing their thing but can't we all just be a bit more connected in our neighborhoods? we should've seen something suspicious... it's like, i get that people wanna move around and stuff but 11:30am on a Thursday doesn't seem like the time to just leave your life behind
