i'm getting bits and pieces of this story. these 2 guys ages 19 and 25, hung out at Amber's house playing video games etc. they both have criminal records, dope and domestic violence. (good judgement there mom!) did this little girl think one was her "boyfriend"? did she get in car voluntarily?

also, news wrong on important item, description of child.she is not 5'9", she is 5'1". big difference you dumbass reporters!

in any case...where is this girl??? the 2 guys are in custody. and i don't know if they're talking. i have also not heard about any ground searches. is she a runaway??

SHREVEPORT, La. -- Amber White, the 12-year-old Shreveport girl who went missing over the weekend, was found unharmed early today after she was dropped off at a business here.

Shreveport police would not say if Amber, who reportedly got into a car with a young man the day she disappeared, had been held against her will. They insisted on calling her a victim, not a runaway. if she had sex she IS a victim of statutory rape, she cannot give consent at age 12. even in Louisiana.

Authorities have filed aggravated rape charges against one of the two young men arrested the day after her disappearance, alleging he had sex with a child under the age of 13.

Police said they expect to make more arrests.

"If you helped keep Amber away from her parents -- any way, any shape, any form, any fashion -- we're coming after you," Police Chief Will Shaw said at a news conference.

Shaw said police got a tip shortly after 1 a.m. today that Amber was on the parking lot of the Triple J on Mansfield Road and was trying to get a ride home. She was gone when officers arrived.

Police contacted the tipster and learned the tipster had called Amber's father, too. Police contacted the father, who told them he was taking his daughter home, Shaw said. White was ordered to stop and police met up with him and Amber at a convenience store in southwest Shreveport and Amber was taken to police headquarters, Shaw said.
