MIRAMAR, FLA. (WSVN) - Police and family members are pleading for the public’s help in finding a teen who has been missing out of Miramar for nearly two months.
Police said 13-year-old Victoria Gonzalez has been logging into her social media accounts, but her family has not been able to locate her for about seven weeks.
Her parents said they just want to ensure she is safe.
“Victoria, if you’re watching me, I love you,” said her father, Enrique Gonzalez. “Give me a call.”
Gonzalez reportedly went to school and never returned home.
“I went to the attendance office, they checked the attendance. She was in every single class,” said her father.
Security cameras showed the teen simply walked away.
“It’s not the same without you,” said her mother, Sophia Gonzalez. “We miss your smile, your eyes, your joy, your sparkle. You bring joy to the home.”
Police believe she has been active in social media. Each times she posts something, detectives go looking for her.
“I’ve been to several locations in Miami, Miami Beach, Opa-Locka, Miami Gardens, Liberty City, Sunrise, Homestead,” said Miramar Police detective Nikki Fletcher.
But police have been unable to locate her.
“We’re not mad; we just want you to be safe and come home,” said the teen’s mother.
Police urge Victoria or anyone who knows where she is to let police and her family know.
“If she’s with you, contact the police department,” said Gonzalez’s father.
Police believe the teen may have run away but could now be in a dangerous situation.
“If you are an adult, please keep in mind that if you are harboring this minor, it is a felony,” said Miramar Police detective Tiffany Roy.
If you have any information on Victoria’s whereabouts, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
