So they think she's a runaway? Would probably help to include as much info as possible!

It's been 5 days since last seen. What difference does it make whether the post says driving or walking, runaway or not. Just keep an eye out for her. Better to get something out ASAP rather than wait for a ton of details, which police may not be giving to Patch. Geez.

Just call 911 if you see her. Not everyone is entitled to know all the "facts" Bill

Don't be rude, doesn't matter if this girl is a runaway, the fact stands that she is missing. Her friends and family want her home. Don't let this case turn out to be death. Another teenager has already died within the last 4 months because something like this wasn't taken seriously.

I pray for her family. Not that long ago there was another, girl Sierra Lamar who went missing and remains missing. Morgan Stanton and Sierra Lamar were best friends. Morgan and Sierra's families have shared a parents worse fears..... Their child went missing. My prays go out to their families. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will be holding their child a little closer.

All I can say I hope this young lady will be found safe and sound...because there's been too many young people who have gone missing and the outcome hasn't been so positive. I will say a prayer for her safe return and that her family will remain strong.

No disrespect at all...but It does make a difference. Her parents are devastated and want their daughter home regardless the situation, runaway or taken, but there is not always time for police to get to a location before someone is gone ... there are different angles of approach if she is found based on leaving by her own free will or being abducted. This is not meant to correct your comment, but meant as a different perspective of helping her get home safe. Prayers for Morgan & her family...I hope she is back with her family soon. So sad!

There are ways that she could be tracked down so I hope that police are doing all they can and not just think she is a runaway and will turn up.I haven't heard anything about Morgan on the News Just on Facebook. Praying for her safe return.
