Horrible that they wont issue an Amber Alert she is a child, granted she ran away before the was back within 24 hours she has been for almost a week. My heart breaks for her family, I hope they find her soon.

That's disgusting that there is no amber alert. Does it truly matter she is missing and everything possible should be done shame on them for not doing what needs to be done.

Everyone should flood the State House with calls to the Governor. I hope she didnt meet a stranger on Facebook they are loaded with nutcakes. The State Police should change their game plan on Amber Alerts.

I am a Family friend and can't Thank You enough for sharing, we all hope Brittany returns home soon. It has been a long 6 days!

The family and the police should comtact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and get her listed as an endangered runaway. If she is seen, you can't just grab her against her will and hold her for the police. The missing poster on Facebook does not have any info on it, not even her name. That makes it difficult to share info with any agencies or people who will look for her.she should be classified as an endangered runaway and then the local media will pick up the case and blast her poster on the news.

Why cant the city or highschool do a code red call . If she ran away Maybe the home she is staying at the parents dont know she is missing.

I JUST WANNA THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE SUPPORT AN CONCERN. IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. I JUST WANT HER HOME.

Donna, I absolutely agree......... It's just really sad no one is helping, thank god for Facebook, I guess........... The police hate paper work, and that's how they look at it........... It's very sad, but if it was there "runaway" teen, I'm sure it would be another story? Blessings to u and ur family......... I'm sure she's safe........... Im going to post her pictures now. I have people from different cities and states on my Facebook......... We can't just limit a search to one area......... She's 17.......... As I said I'm praying all goes well, and she is returned safely back where she belongs............. Oxoxo

Lois I think one thing we can all agree to, is that the thought of a child or any loved one who is or goes missing has to be one of the greatest most dreaded nightmares
we can imagine in our personal lives. Going through this now, for you must be unbearable and it would be for any of us. I hope that everything soon will work out for you and your daughter. I guess we can all that some solace, that having Patch to put this out there for everyone to see will make this happen sooner than later. I realize you can find little comfort at this time, but remember there are Patch outlets in a multitute of cites all around in this state and this country. I hope people keep posting about this very important and personal story, for you and your daughter and the more that do, I believe this would increase the chances of a positive outcome. My heart is out to you and your daughter. Please keep your faith and hopefully soon, your prayers will be answered. To all Patch posters please tell your friends to write and talk about story because it can only increase the chances for a happy ending.

Do we have details on what she was wearing? Known favorite hangouts? friends vehicles information? has her social media accounts been reviewed, emails accessed? Has the GPS on her phone been checked, etc. Making updated posters and online shared fliers will help...most recent pictures, make sure positive messages from loved ones are on her Facebook and Twitter in case she is checking them. The AMBER Alert is for known abducted children, with little to no information here it wouldn't be effective...there is no vehicle or adults she is known to be with, there is no current physical description of her clothing, Using Facebook, Twitter, etc and the media will be more effective than an Amber alert, an Amber alert is effective because of the ability to describe vehicles and locations...Just keep posting, sharing and updating...keep photos posting everywhere...the more everyone shares the more others will share and her picture will be everywhere....

Thats right Patch is all over the country. If they can put it in all the Patch's all over would be great. Does Saugus PD know? All missing kids end up at the Square One Mall. She could be still with a freind and you know teenage girls and Malls. Try them all in the area.

I am so sorry that your daughter hasn't been found but why don't you contact the local radio stations and news stations. Our prayers are with you and your family.

What i don't understand is why nothing was done within the first 48 hours she was missing, it's said that's the most critical time in missing persons cases. Hopefully she gets home safe.

I just sent a tip tp WHDH. I suggest everyone does. All the news. Go to tips and send.

Lois- as the mother of a teenager I am so sorry, this is every parent's nightmare and this mom is thinking of you. I agree with several comments that you should go to the media. Contact FOX25 first - they cover these types of stories more than other local stations especially Mike Beaudet and Bob Ward at myfoxboston.com. The legal loophole here of not qualifying for an amber alert because your daughter had run away before is very newsworthy. The intent of the alert is to help kids in danger. You should e-mail these guys and the assignment desk - I'd advise doing all 3 at the same time so you cover all the bases and they can see who else you've reached out to at the station. Someone will call you back and hopefully they will do a story and help you get the word out. Good luck!

Does she hangout or know anyone here in marlborough

Sadly, this case doesn't meet the criteria for an amber alert to be issued.
1. A child, 17 years of age or younger, has been abducted;
2. The child is in danger of serious bodily harm, injury or death; and
3. There is enough descriptive information to believe that an AMBER Alert may help locate the child.

Please do not look at this as a slap in the face to the family. I've personally shared the photo several times today. I pray that she returns as well.

Lois i dont understand why they wont issue an amber alert... its does not matter that she ran away for a night before... this is about "NOW" she has been missing for nearly a week!!! Now if the state police dont wanna help then maybe the mayor will!!! We will find her lois.. that is my little cousin and i refuse to sit back and do nothing ... i love you and keep ur head up, we are a strong family and we will bring her home safe and sound

Not really shur it was the same girl but I saw a skinny scruffy white guy with a young girl at wonderland station the other day thot it was wird cuz they payed to get in both used the bathrooms then left didnt get on a train mybe a bus tho

Lois keep your head up. She is just like you so I know wherever she is she is okay. I know you just want her home though. Praying for you and your family.

Okay I'm not sure if family and friends know this, but they say Brittany was last seen leaving Malden High School on Wednesday, Feb 06, 2013 but on Feb 07, 2013 she tweeted: " When @Kiki_KnowsxO puts Drake on pandora in ms.seagers room >>>> " I think that's a teacher. So she must of been in school on Feb 07,2013. Her last tweets were on Feb 07,2013.

Chris, Amber Alerts shouldn't involve the public in personal family matters that should be resolved in family/juvenile court !

I emailed the missing picture to nancy graces website in hopes they may air it . I truly hope she is found and brought home real soon. My prayers are sent to the family. I am the mother of 7 I could not imagine what you must be going through.

No no no I'm sure I was on the 441 bus YESTERDAY with her one other female with light brown/blonde hair taller black male maybe 5'9 /6'2 it was the 2 or 230 bus out of central sq lynn inbound to wonderland run the bus tapes back she was on that bus

Folks, Amber Alerts are for CONFIRMED kidnappings where the child's life is in danger.

If Amber Alerts were issued for every runaway or custody case, the system would be overwhelmed and Amber Alerts would mean nothing.

Ok kt... if u saw her and knew she was reported missing why didnt u contact the police ?? Just curious

I didn't know she was missing until today and just because someone is missing does not mean they are not a willing party she's 17 with past missing reports I hope for her return that's all if it was that concerning to u u would have been contacting someone urself

Why is Facebook have another name? I just got an e mail with a Facebook pic and it has a different name. I copied and pasted what is said on the patch at least 50 not counting whats being fowarded. My daughters and their friend
s are nurses and are fowarding to different hospitals,tow truck drivers and rubbish truck drivers I know. You should CORRECT that name in Facebook. Has someone gone to the MBTA Police with the picture? They are located In Cabot Station Broadway and Dorchester Ave. They have a data base where they can play back all cams.

Where there is no amber alert Im sure the MBTA and local police will help. If she was seen in Wonderland then she has gone on the Blue Line to Oreint Heights or Downtown Boston. If she is just hanging out she may have gone to Fanuel Hall where all the young teenagers hang out. Im just presuming IF She is Riding the T.

David Mokal is publishing erroneous Transit Police contact information.

David, you posted the MBTA Police were located at Cabot Station at the intersection of Broadway and Dorchester Ave .. I'm asking you to do a Google search, Sir.

sure will it used to be there.

UR Right South Hampton Street. When did that happen.LOL they used to be Dot and Broadway. Geesh they had an awesome police station too. Sorry about that JAY.

I forwarded this story to Susan Warnick at channel 5. She is trying to get them to do a story on it. Hope this helps.

First kids run away for a reason. If in fact she ran away. If her home wasn't distressed then she wouldn't leave. They have access to any computers she would have used to see if there may be any insights. Secondly, her phone. They can get info from it. If it has a tracking device they can track her. There shouldn't be any limitation on any amber alert. Running away or not! The CHILD is missing! Bottom line! The system that is put in place to protect us, I don't feel protected. It seems like there are just as many good cops as bad or crooked.

Oh good grief.

According to relatives on Facebook, there are TWO Malden girls missing. Looks like they are cousins.

Well Im a newsaholic read em all and havent see anything yet. Just here.

Comments removed for violations of our terms of service.

I know one girl Quianna is home safe . Thank you lord. Brittany I haven't heard anything about.

Boston.Com said she phoned her boyfreind 2 days ago and said she is OK. Is thgis so?

Y no amber alert just cuz she ran away b4 she disappeared thats the dummest law ever

Oh Diana
I look forward to reading you, but you lost me on this one. Please explain.

Are the police talking to the other girl?

Unfortunately the local and state police do not set the policy for issuing amber alerts the legislature does and they recently eliminated chins and began faces program for runaways, now the police are have little power in relation to runaways. If a child is 17 years old they are considered an adult in MA and you can not force them to go home.

17 is not really an adult!! I consider an adult at the age of 20.... this is ridiculous , if it was one of their own children I'm pretty sure they would want answers!!! As far as quianna I believe she knows something but don't want to say.

The laws now adays give kids way too much leniency!!!

Okshe is home safe thanks to you all for us hello and concern , I got to hold hug and tell Brittney I love her ' her family is happy to have her back, again thanks four all our support and concern , for I know it meant all to her MOTHER and FAMILY .....

I meant help and concern sorry

Ok, I am confused. Are both girls home or not and if not which on isn't?
Someone please let me know cause this is crazy making.
