Yes- It did work.
It’s sad to hear what happened to her.
Check out today’s Washington Post. There is a picture of this missing child.
I live behind this young girl’s home. It just angers me that this isn’t the first or the second time….its like the fourth or fifth in the past 3 weeks. The second time that she got out she should have been taken from the home because obviously she isn’t being taken care of the way she should with her disabilities. My heart goes out to this little girl and I hope that she does get home safely but also for the police and social services to WAKE UP and put her somewhere where someone will actually care.
mhmkay,
I don’t know if I did that right…it didn’t create a direct link, but if you copy the link in your browser, you can view the photo of Alexis.

It’s worth a shot.
Sorry…in my haste to make correction, I made a typo as well…the correct number is 703 792 6500!
The police telephone number is incorrect…it is 703 793 6500.
I have a photo if someone can tell me how to list.

Previous comment is very true. Please post pictures.
Once again, if we (the public) had a picture to go on, perhaps we could help the police and family find this poor girl. Am I not pointing out the obvious?
