The mother strikes me as a responsible and empathetic person. The fact that she gave Alicia mental health days and attempted to brighten her up shows how much she cared for Alicia. It hurts my heart that people think ill of her. She's obviously doing her best and loves Alicia very much. I hope this case is resolved soon.
It’s so easy to put the blame on the parent apparently. People just love to hand out parenting advice, any parent could be in this situation and this could have happened to any children and it’s so clear that Alicia’s mother was so kind and caring about her daughters struggles and mental health and her social life😥 she did the best she could have done but for some reason that’s not enough for these judge parents...
Fr! I was a really sneaky kid when it came to social media when I was younger cuz my mom wouldn’t let me have it. All it takes is a smart child to hide stuff especially with how tech savvy kids can be so I don’t blame the mom at all
It's not easy to have a kid with needs and this mom gives me hope on how bright my son will be ...I'm hoping this little girl comes home soon...hugs mama
She is a good mother.
As a 16 year old I totally agree. Every single one of my friends use discord almost daily and have unrestricted Internet access (since we were about 10-12 actually). Although it shouldn't be common to prevent things like this from happening, it is a normality and we should NOT blame her mother.
Update: As of 7/26/23, Alicia Navarro has been found alive. She will need a lot of support from her family and community. So glad her mom seems like a loving and caring mom.
I came to comment this I saw it on tik tok!!!!
She left at her own free will. She is 18 now and is still on her own not wanting to go home to the mom. No disrespect but why is she so distant from the mother?? What really happened why did she really leave? Grooming was assumed but I think it's something more. She didnt even sign the note with i love you mom. Jus an apology. N she hasnt contacted the mom this entire time. She jus wanted to be taken off the missing person list. She is not even in the same state as her mother she is in Montana. Hmmm what happens behind closed doors must have affected her. Should look more into the mother. Happy to hear she is safe and well..
@@Kayslays2489I was thinking the exact same thing she didn’t say I love you or don’t worry . I feel like maybe the step dad did something to Alicia or he knew something the mom didn’t idk but I hope it all comes out
@@Kayslays2489not saying anything about her, but that’s what I always wanted to do as a kid. I wanted to runaway and get as far as possible from my mom and never see her again. Only thing that really stopped me was that I wouldn’t be able to see the rest of my family
@kayslays2489 you have to remember she was an autistic child, most like she was manipulated. god knows what they put in her head. it will be hard and require a lot of therapy! Hopefully the truth will come to public soon
The clip of her celebrating her birthday without her made me tear up man.
Literally broke my heart :( Can't imagine how hard it must have been for her to go through that day knowing that her daughter was looking forward to it. My heart goes out to her mom and the rest of her family :(
Time stamp?
@@autumn1768 11:20
@@danyvaladez36 agreed it’s honestly devastating. I can’t imagine the pain the family is going through. I hope they find her alive. There is still a chance.
@@summerphillips5576 Thank you
I CANNOT believe she was found! This is the best news. Sending so many hugs to this family as they reunite and begin healing. 💛
Came here to say this. Like wow, my mind is blown.
It seems kind of bittersweet to me, since she doesn't seem to want to be found, really. She just wanted people to stop looking for her AND she waited until she was 18.... I don't believe no one has hurt her, I don't believe someone didn't hold her captive until she was a legal adult before letting her go talk to the cops.
Not found per se, she came out and found the cops on her own. It does seem very odd that she came after she turned 18, and it was just to be taken off the missing persons list. I bet whoever took her didn’t want her to go out until she was of legal age. It’s sick. I hope he is found out and jailed for grooming this poor girl.
I hope the mom doesn’t blame her self. When I was Alicia age I would talk to people online. My mom who was very on top on me never found out. I almost met with a man. I was 14. I took the train to his house and never went in. Something in my gut told me to go home. I pray that Alicia is safe.
Edit: thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences and their kind words. It’s a scary world out here. We have to band together to protect our children.
I’m glad you’re here today to share your story and that you listened to your gut 🥺💖
This made my jaw drop. Thank God you left! So glad your safe and you didn't end up in a horrific situation.
Thank goodness you left!!!
Glad you followed your gut and are safe today ❤
Thank goodness you didn’t go inside !! wow
She was most definitely lured. The note she left . Shows she had intentions on coming back. I think the person that lured her built up her trust, made her feel safe and accepted. She begun to grow a crush on this person, which made her want to impress this person with makeup and clothes. So sick. The mom is incredibly strong.
I agree...someone was waiting for her on the other side of the fence! I pray we can locate her and bring her home safely.
All I hope is she is found and is safe, it's terrible that even as much as we try to be safe and protect the parents these people are expert multiplators
The hole in the window reminds me of what happened with me in my childhood I had a man come to my window nightly and bring me gifts and presents and build up my trust and tell me that I was going to be in big trouble if my mother found out and that it would destroy his life I was little I did not understand what was happening he asked for my help one night I felt it was my fault so I went this was when having only just a flip phone was extremely expensive dial up ect )the guy had stalked me from the mall and followed me home to find out where I lived then he did his work on me overtime it's crazy how differently I see what really happened now that I'm so much older versus when I was so little this guy destroyed my life for years I was in pure hell made to live in a small van on a makeshift bed with no air I had to use the bathroom in a paint bucket right next to me the only way that I was ever found was because he made the mistake of leaving me in his car when he went to cash a check
@@Mializetterose That’s so scary. I cant imagine what that do to a person, let alone a young girl. That man is a creep, I hope he rots or is rotting in hell. You deserved none of that. That’s what it could possibly be in this case too, the hole in the window. What better way to earn a child’s trust? Give them gifts.
I agree with you. I believe this person took advantage of that trust.
*The pain in that mother's eyes is horrendous. Praying she gets reunited with her daughter soon*
My heart breaks for her!
@@lesliehardee3284 same :(
I hope so
I found myself having a hard time to breathe, especially at the end knowing that she has no answers, you don’t have to be a parent to feel that terror 😥✌🏻
Same thing I was thinking.
Came straight to this after the news that she has returned safely. This mom is so emotionally intelligent and my heart breaks for the 4 years of worry and pain that she endured. I’m so happy she’s back safely.
Same here!
She’s not safe yet.
I just have a gut feeling that baby girl is still alive. Definitely adding family to my prayer list.
Same here!!! Prayers will help find her!! God will lead someone to her we have to have hopes. I feel so sorry for this poor mom💔
Me too! I can’t take the pain of these terrible things happening to autistic children . A 12 year old autistic boy was just killed in my town and this is hitting home in an awful way
I feel it as well and I hope she is okay. As okay as she can be away from her family. I hope her family is reunited with her sooner than later.
I think so too, it's a horrible situation and I just pray for her & the family 🙏
Let’s also take practical actions if possible ♥️
It still surprise me how people are so blind about human trafficking
Shows you how hidden in plain sight shit really is☹️ nobody wants to believe it
Yeah, It is really sad.
Some of my family doesnt believe it and they have kids bruh
Tbh it wasn't until like a few years ago for me where I realized it's more n more common. I thought it was rare and only in shady places but no. It can happen anywhere and it can be a man or woman luring young girls and boys. Tell kids stranger danger again like they did wit us cuz for them kts really really real. Stranger fuckin danger. I feel for parents it seems so hard I would just constantly worry
People know about it but no one cares
I feel so terrible for her mom... she seems to be a really caring person. Letting her daughter take mental health days? Doing so much for her birthday? She really was doing everything she could, and it's amazing to see. I pray Alicia can come home soon 😢
I thought the same thing 💯
Damn you felt so bad as a mom in these moment yes wherevere your look is story but she had to knew lured in her home...or just stalked enough
@@lilithlevi9534 what
Internet communications need more supervision guidance and limits. She was probably lured away
I know right, I don’t know what I would do if I was that woman. she seems genuinely like a good, loving and a caring mom
Coming to rewatch this video after finding out she was found safe and alive! The best outcome possible ❤
Same 🎉❤
Same, couldn't believe it when I saw the headline!! Amazing
I first found out about Alicia’s case through this video. When I saw a post about it I had to double check. I was so happy to hear this good news! So happy to hear that Alicia was found!
Same!!
I have prayed and prayed for this child🎉🎉 I'm so happy she's found
I cried at the part when her mom still celebrated her birthday and sang to her. I can not even imagine.
I went to school with Alicia she was so kind and shy hopefully she can be found and be reunited with her family
It’s so sad💔I feel horrible for not only her family but friends also.
Why are some people like this
@@loopsy1050 wdym
@@moon-o1v like why do people do this to kids. It’s not right to groom kids.
@@loopsy1050 same
The way you described autism - with respect and accuracy and genuine acceptance that we are humans with brains wired in a less common way, not broken people with broken brains - feels so amazing _ I don't even know how to describe it. My heart is with Alicia and Jessica. Thank you, Kendall.
Yes, we are different but we need no cure.
@@LightsOfLisbon different is great imo ,boring if we all the same 😍💖🇬🇧😂
Yess. I loved her description, I don't personally have autism but I have two cousins and a grandfather who are autistic. I hate that people discriminate against autism when we should celebrate it!
I hate when people think my son is stupid because he's autistic and has ADHD. He's not. He's very intelligent. He is going into first grade and is doing second grade math. He can identify makes and models on cars. I think I have a mechanical engineer in my future and he can do it.
THEY FOUND HER ALIVE!
She walked into a police station asking to be taken off the missing person’s list. She’s 18 now. 🤯
What a WILD outcome!!
Yeh I watched that on ABC, fox all the ones on TH-cam that were reporting it. I'm thrilled for her Mother. She can rest easy. There's work ahead obviously but at least her baby girl is home ❤❤❤❤
She was found in my hometown
@kyleesternberg9933 Probably not the best thing to put out there FYI since this whole thing is about safety. You never want to put where you live online you never know who will find it
I hope her mother knows she didn't do anything wrong. Even if she was more aware of her daughter's online activities, she still could've ended up in the same situation.
Exactly. I know when I was a kid online I did literally everything to keep my parents out of my business. Her mom seems so genuinely loving a caring
I was actually thinking the same thing. 💔
I agree 100% & I hope that Alicia is out there somewhere & OK. I hope she will make it home.
this yes
As an autistic person, she’s a wonderful mother. Very few parents would let their kids have mental health days or try and be involved in their special interests.
Sucks she needs to tell people to be respectful. Seems so obvious. Thoughts and love to the family ❤️
@@christmastree6817 because some people will find fault in parents for no reason. I don’t have children myself but I’ve noticed if you’re a parent nothing you do will be right in other peoples eyes. Someone will always think there’s something you could have done better. But what they don’t realize is most of the time in cases like this the parents are already beating themselves up & blaming themselves it’s sad.
Agree!!
It definitely sucks. Just goes to show how many heartless, rude, and just plain cruel , people can be. Smh
True! But that’s the sad world we live in everyone feels they should speak just because they can.
Agreed!!!!
I'm from Michigan... and my 14 old daughter was groomed and lured to get tickets to TEXAS ..and I caught her. This was in 2000 in brand new days of internet. He was a 40 year old maggot ...
Protect your babies .
Oh how terrifying, I'm so glad you caught her before anything horrible happened. Hope everything is well now ❤
Omg I’m glad she’s safe
wow. good for you that you caught it. its hard cause eveyrone's situation is different and I can see why young girls turn to online relationships and such without telling people for fear of judgment. but yeah its horrible they don't realize the tactics of getting personal information. better to be safe and sorry and assume they know when they really don't
Thank god she I safe and you caught her. That is terrifying.
This kind of thing terrifies me with my son so I am constantly checking what he does on the internet, without him knowing, just to make sure he is only chatting and gaming with friends he knows in real life
As an autistic person who was groomed through the internet at a young age, thank you for the way you spoke about those topics. You are very educated on what you discuss and it shows :)
same here! i really appreciate that she didnt use functioning labels or infantilise her.
@@Tsubvn keep in mind functioning labels help other people understand at what level does this person function. My son is high functioning although that can be deceiving as he is also highly gullible and trusting.
you can also understand a lot more clearly how someone functions by asking them what their specific needs are instead of making a gigantic generalisation.
self diagnosed autism
As a victim of grooming I really have to stress to everyone that no matter what you tell your child, it can still happen to them. It’s not because your child isn’t smart or capable, it’s because these are grown people who have done it many times before. They can manipulate children very easily. I was trapped by my groomer from 16 to 19. I didn’t realize it wasn’t a consensual relationship until I was 25.
My heart breaks so much for the Navarro family, especially when her mother sang happy birthday. I hope Alicia is found!
thank you for sharing that
Thank you for this. I also know from personal experience that you can be the most sensible, careful person and still fall victim to a predator. I'm glad you got out of that situation and are in a place where you can talk about it, I wish you all the best. 💕
I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you're on the path to healing.
i hope ur much better now
I was 21 and I still believe in a way I was groomed/ manipulated many time by my boyfriend at the time that was older. I’ve realized it only in my late twenties, early thirties the full story and how “the game” was played. So I can just imagine how easy is to get the power over children! Its sooooo scary to even think about it!
“I celebrated her birthday with people I don’t even know” 😭😭😭 bless those that were there for Alicia and Jessica. Absolutely heartbreaking
Heartbreaking
As a mom I put my self in that place when I saw her trying to sing and I cried
Can we take a second and appreciate how good of a mom the mom is? Like, understanding and parenting according to her mental health, fine tuning everything to make her daughter feel comfortable and able to express herself.... that takes a level of parenting that alot of us can only hope to get to one day.
I agree. She's an awesome mom. Listening to the story I was like wow. She's truly supportive and that is so rare.
yesss! especially them being hispanic bc “mental health” doesn’t exist to most hispanic parents 😔 you’re supposed to just suck it up
To Alicia’s mother- If you happen to see this I just want to know how incredible and amazing you are. Alicia couldn’t have gotten luckier in the mom department! You are so wonderful and supportive, and an all around great role model. I’m praying SO hard for you, your family, and all of Alicia’s loved ones.
❤❤❤❤
My heart breaks every time I see her mom. She seems exhausted and worried, but you can tell that she'll never give up bc she loves Alicia so much
Same...
Yeah...
Yes!! 🥺 She just keeps going. My heart goes out to her.
To the mother- you did nothing wrong, you didn’t LET this happen, and you are absolutely NOT to blame. I see your pain, I hear your pain and I’m praying for strength and for your daughter to be returned to you.
🙌🏼
Incorrect. I'm sorry but parents should see and learn after their faults ! You don't give a chill complete internet access and not be to blame afterwards. Poor Woman. I hope her daughter is okay.
@@vedranailicic80 Do you have children miss high and mighty?
@@vedranailicic80 children will find their own way of getting internet access whether the parents allow it or not. Jheeze, have some respect
please be a little bit more empathetic put yourself in there shoes
I use to cringe when I heard about parents "spying" on their kids' internet activity, but it's become absolutely necessary at this point. Sending love and support to Alicia's mother 💕
yup yup, it may feel invasive but they do it because they care about you!
They’re boundaries but parents should definitely keep an eye on them.
We really just do it because we care I may not be a parent but I am my brother guardian and I just want him to be safe
After working for some years with people on that spectrum, I ve noticed that parents see the internet as a 'friend' for their socially awkward children. Major mistake
Why on earth would you cringe about that? The internet has been dangerous from the start. MOST parents keep an eye on that stuff. Omg so cringe parents are protecting their CHILD.
so happy to hear she’s been found. i’m just concerned about what happened in between then and now, i hate thinking that she was groomed and still currently in that situation and thinking it’s normal. i hope she’s actually okay and if there’s someone evil behind this, that they get caught. praying for her peace and safety 🙏🏽
Me too. I’m curious to know the details. I am glad it is known that she was safe and wasn’t hurt this entire time. It’s sketchy that she came out to the police station after turning 18. Who was she with the entire time? Why didn’t she go sooner? Is it because now whoever she is with, can’t be charged because she is of legal age…so many questions.
And my biggest question is, did she or could she have had the free will to come back home this entire time? The article I read said she turned herself in because she wanted her name off the missing persons list so she could obtain her drivers license..
Could she have had the chance to at least contact her mom…
Did she watch the clips of her mom sobbing on her birthday or her posts desperately looking for?
I just wonder. While still wanting to remain respectful of their privacy. It’s just a big story not to be curious about.
She’s still being groomed even now… the person who she’s with and his family and her all flees their home recently and moved somewhere else. This was right after she came forward and said she was ‘okay’ and ‘fine’ after all the years she’s been missing.
I made my 12 year old daughter watch this with me because she reminds me of Alicia and she is getting into discord and online gaming. It's important that everyone understand the dangers out there.
Is there a way you can watch her online activity? I want your kid to stay safe. 🥺
@@jessicakabelwelter2774 there are many mirroring apps that show you everything your child does online
I think it’s good for parents to show stuff like this to there children. It’s always good to be safe and cautious even around those your trust.
That was a great idea! Watching this with your daughter & opening the window to questions & conversation.....
You’re a good mama. I think this is a great idea.
The only person who is to blame is the man or women who took this precious lady from her home. I wish this family nothing but the best wishes from me and my family. ♡︎
same here
If no one is to blame for the safety of our children, then how can we protect them? There are plenty to blame here…
@@trulytiffany.4773 She is missing rn and that's all that really matters. Pointing fingers does no good. U realize the parents can probably read ur these comments right? Chose your words more carefully.
@@trulytiffany.4773 As she stated there is no one to blame. The generation before us had NO clue about how the internet work, even when warning them about stranger danger. No one is to blame.
@@Limptastical inn
Child predators are everywhere, not just online. Mom didn’t do anything wrong. 🖤
Exactly! I would always say I was 25, even when I was 12. Not to talk to men, but my father was worried if I said my tea age I would be targeted. We also had our only electronic device in the living room where he could see. He was being mean or nosey, he was just terrified.
@@hayleym50 my parents were the same way. Looking back I get it and am thankful
@@hayleym50 tbh it depends on the context to me whether or not ur being nosy and honestly no one under 10 should be using the internet
My 17 yr old daughter was just telling me that she gets hit on by way older men at work all the time. She said she stopped telling them she was underage cause it made them want to talk to her more. Now she tells them she's like 23 and they leave her alone. There are predators literally everywhere. Even a small grocery store
@@Cinder526 I used to work 3rd shit at a gas station by myself when I was 21, but apparently some of those creeps thought I looked 18 or younger, and I remember one creepy guy would literally sit in his car during my shit and watch/stare at me the whole time. One of my nice regulars saw it and ended up hanging out with me until he left, which was shortly after he realized he wasn't leaving before he did. I learned quickly to always keep a sharp box cutter from the store in my back pocket always while I was working. It was in a pretty bad/sketchy area, though.
It happens everywhere- as scary as that is, unfortunately, these creeps are going to be fucking creeps until they do something drastic to get caught.
I'm glad your daughter is okay and I hope her and her coworkers keep an eye out for people like that to keep her and each other safe.
i don’t usually comment but this case has always stuck with me, the way Alicia’s mom told her story alwaysss left me in tears because i could feel her pain and heartbreak. i’ve only watched this video once or twice just because it was hard to watch for me but i never forgot about Alicia. I’m so happy she was found and is back with her mom. i just read that she was reunited, is unharmed and is happy. i hope she is doing okay 🩷
I think her stepdad was abusing her and that is why she left, and came back at age 18 so she knew she couldn’t be forced to move back with them
She was definitely coached and groomed. I feel whoever did it was a man in his late 30s early 40s. Likes Pink Floyd and the Iron Man comic? She ended up liking this man because he made her comfortable and that comic was something he liked and she felt she needed to give him a gift for being "good" to her. Many older ppl lurk in game rooms and he probably chatted with her and she gave him too much info about herself. He probably overshared info about himself so she would feel comfortable to share about herself. Sad and sick.
This is a good assessment. My 11yr old niece is not autistic and yet, she was easily manipulated into giving sensitive information. My sister in law found conversations on her phone. I can only imagine how much more vulnerable Alicia was. Predators can smell vulnerability a mile away. I feel so bad for her mom. I can't imagine what her family is going through.
Sadly yes. But I realllllly hope they find her safe. I feel so sorry for her family
This absolutely breaks my heart. Groomers and predators in general are the scum of the earth.
i also got that impression. the sudden change from pop to pink floyd, the iron man comic, the revealing clothes, the preoccupation with fitness, the wanting to try steak and putting on body spray despite her sensory issues... if you put all of this together, it's way too obvious she was trying to impress an older man. it's terrifying to think about it. poor little child :(
I believe the guy is a bit younger (21-30). Pink floyd is a very popular band even for the younger generations. The comic book may have been a cheap, strategically placed idea for a gift - something to make Alicia think its a real relationship and not grooming.
I feel alicia would have known a 30+ guy (especially 40+) is creepy/unappealing. Even if the guy was just pretending to be younger (very common with pedophiles).
Youre right that these creeps hang out in chatrooms, PMing every young girl they can.
Hacking is also likely. The culprit may have found her address threatened to hurt alicias family if she didnt comply.
They should have investigated the steak house restaurants’ surveillance. I bet the man who was covered in tattoos was there often and that’s why they recommended it to Alicia. Since Alicia took her computer, what about the box it came in; could it have contained any information so they can locate her computer and see if it’s being used or sold ? I have a really bad feeling about the hole in her window screen, like someone was lurking around the house before the event happened
uppp!! this is useful info
Commenting to boost!!!!
!!!!
Boost
Great advice regarding the steak house, I feel like they could check all surveillance around the area too even if they don't think it could be connected. This guy sounds really distinct! Also why are there no sketches of him?
But just to let you know IP addresses are connected to the internet connection the computer has, not the device itself. There can be different IP addresses associated with the same device. Each device should have its own MAC address but not much can be worked out by just knowing this address alone unless they know the device its been connected to. The biggest problem is accounts like Discord can be secured with 2-Factor Authentication so even if they know her account logins, they cannot access the account without the device that the authentication is connected to.
One thing they might be able to do is to restore a version of her device either from iCloud or if she ever backed up her phone to a different computer. But I guess they must have thought about this.
I will never understand how adults could ever hurt a child.
I know this is random but your comment means so much for me. Thank you so much.
this.
They are pure evil!
I was a victim to online grooming. I still regret being a naive child and thinking someone who I never met cared about me, I’m lucky and grateful that my sister stepped in and alerted my parents. At the time I hated her for “snitching” but now that I’m older and I hear about horrific stories involving online predators I’m forever grateful that she “snitched”. If she hadn’t I’d probably would’ve been lured and killed or worse. That time in my life will forever haunt me and continues to be brought up from my family. I understand what I was doing was dangerous and just down right stupid. But I was a child who felt alone, ignored and unwanted. It’s effected my mental health, but it could be much much much worse.
Years ago I was a teen and I picked a teen girl up hitchhiking and I asked her where she was going she said she meet someone online and she was going to meet him I told her how do you know he's a teen he might be a adult and she said no no he's a teen so I dropped her off when I was gettingboff the highway and iv thought about her over the years and I can't help but thi king she's probably not here anymore. But u hope she is
@@MikeSmith-cn6ub so you allowed her to go to someone else she probly was pared what was her name and age you should of just brought her home n told her parents
@anikastarseed the girl prob wouldn't have told them where she lived. If they brought her to the police, she probably would have ran. If teens are set on running away or doing something, even if it's dangerous, they will do it.
@@kpoppy9635 🤍 aw probly may these teens and kids become more wiser n protected🙏
As a human trafficking victim myself, I can't agree more with internet safety. The internet really aided in my own situation. I'm so thankful I was able to get out. I hope Alicia can be found soon
What happen to you? 😢
I’m sorry this happened to you ♥️
i’m so happy ur safe ❤️
Please Please be careful
Glad you got out
Take Care 💞
❤️❤️❤️
Her mother seems like the type of mom everyone dreams of having. Loving, caring, empathetic, and incredibly supportive
I know Jessica and indeed she’s a very sweet lady.. please pray for strength for her.
Yes ❤️ What a wonderful mom
Were either of the two people who saw the guy with tats able to describe any of them? Sometimes a tattoo is unique to one artist. Maybe the artist is local and since he has so many tats, maybe checking the local shops for their most repeat customers that fit the darker skin tone may be helpful. He seemed to maybe be from close to her area or he wouldn't have been there 4 days later. That makes me think a tat artist in that area has probably worked on him. If he was from out of town he would have hit the highway with her immediately.
Well said you could be on to something
You’re so right!
This is such a good point! People are usually very loyal to tattoo artists. being that he has so many, it’s more than likely local.

I just want to say, the amount of times I’ve heard, “the parents said the police weren’t doing enough, so they took matters into their own hands,” is INFURIATING. As a parent, it breaks my heart that they don’t do the MOST when it comes to missing children.
Anyone who takes advantage of children has a special place in hell
They should suffer before they get to hell
Totally agree with you
Most definitely
Oh absolutely.
not a special place, they have a horrible spot waiting for them in hell.
I still see missing posters of her around . I hope to God she’s found.
this story has driven me crazy. Where is she. I hope she’s found alive.
Same
Yes, I'm in Arizona and this is close to my heart and home. I think she's alive, which I don't always feel about missing girls. I hope she is okay. It is possible.
Trafficked people don't get found alive. They take them to other countries and immediately drug them. This is a sick reality that you people decide to "pray for"
@@shelbyk7229 geez
@@damnmuggle once again, the dark reality of it goes ignored because my comment made you feel a little bad. Frig off.
So glad to read that she is 'found'. She walked into a policestation and asked to be takennoff the Missing Peoples list, now being 18 years old....Claiming no one has hurt her.
Happy for the family to know she is alive and healthy but something seems odd still...
I was just trying going to say something similar. It's amazing she's been found alive and safe but she waited till she was 18 to let anyone know she's okay and something is weird about that. I hope it's not some kind of Stockholm syndrome type of thing. I really hope her family gets answers and reassurance and gets to be around her now. I pray she doesn't dissappear on them again and can tell her family at least why she left. Even if we don't ever know why, I hope her moms gets answers she needs. She never gave up and every interview with her mom breaks my heart.
This is for Alicia’s mom: My heart is with you. This is not your fault. I have an autistic daughter and I know the hardships that come with this diagnosis. I’m sending you a big hug 🫂
I have someone who is willing to try and see if that Ironman comic book has showed up online. Does mom have a picture of it or can you take the receipt back to the place you got it and get the exact title and edition number? If you can get me any details, I have a comic book group willing to try and find anyone online selling one or even posting that they got one. Let me know.
I liked for the algorithm! Thank you for trying to help!!! God bless!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Boosting (idk if this helps her see this but i hope so!)
This is an incredible idea! Kendall has an email address posted to contact her, have you tried to reach out that way?
I hope Kendall sees this! Commenting in hope it’ll help boost your comment up
You're amazing!
I was literally thinking about this case earlier and wanted to see if there was any new updates, but unfortunately couldn’t remember the poor girl’s name. Perfect timing. I hope everything ends up being okay 💔
July 30, 2023 Update: I’m so glad she was found safe. I hope her & her family are able to heal well and together🙌🏽
Was about to comment the same thing. Was thinking about her yesterday. xo
I was too. I was just looking it up this morning too see if there had been any updates on it.
I was randomly thinking about her too this week! How weird
Me too! Like this case popped in my head yesterday or the day before, and I kept meaning to look it up. Omg😭
Same! Danelle Hallan’s video stuck to me
Rewatching now that she's been found !! We need an updated video 😊
Predators prey on the purest people. Poor baby girl, I hope she knows how loved she is.
Plus the fact that Alicia hasn’t even made one phone call to her mom this entire time is a huge red flag that she definitely isn’t okay… that’s horrendous, and terrifying!!!
I wonder if she is... dead?
@@KYLE1654-v7m In my spirit I don’t think she’s dead but time is running out
Remember that family reads comments, this comment is more harmful than it is helpful.
She may not be in control of her phone etc if she isn't dead. Coercive control and abuse even work on adults, not to mention an autistic teen.
@@TheNinnyfee Yeah in most situations the person takes the devices so they can’t escape… sorry if I’m just saying common sense to some people! Have a safe and wonderful day!
Parents : I can speak from personal experience, if your child seems “surprised” that you’re still awake…that’s a red flag. Do NOT go to bed. I used to sneak out and remember saying something similar one night to my own mother.
Exactly. I did the same when I was younger. I'm so glad I can lock the doors at night and take the keys to bed with me
Same .stunned almost
@@smiler3707 I snuck out of my bedroom window . We had ADT alarm system at night but not on the windows at that time.
How old is the child pls ?
I'm a teenager, I've never snuck out (I'm boring and also covid) but I'd still be surprised if I was sneaking INto the kitchen for a midnight snack and my mum was still awake
I hadn't heard about this case really until I saw your post about her being found alive, so I wanted to come watch your video on her. I'm more than likely autistic (unable to seek out a diagnosis) and I related to her so much when you spoke about her personal life towards the beginning of the video. It almost made me cry. So glad to know she's alive! I wish nothing but the best for her and hope that she and her family are able to heal
To Alicia Navarro's Family
I am so sorry this happened to you guys. This is terrible. You and Alicia will forever be in my family's prayers.
Here for you

Praying with you 🙏❤🌹❤🌹
Me too!! I hope she's found safe and extremely soon ❤️🙏
the kitty purse she took with her broke my heart😭😭 she was a baby
Since Alicia is using an Apple device, I wonder if she had "Find my Mac" setup and maybe if she reached the internet it would show her last known location. If you are able to log into her iCloud you can see her contacts that were synced. Maybe that can help? Like a heart emoji by a name or number. Also, I wonder if you can give Apple the serial number of that Macbook or other local repair shops to see if its on sale somewhere or was checked in for repair.
I wish that she can be found. I am so sorry. I can't imagine.
I was thinking this
I was thinking the same thing. Where they turned off? Wasn’t clear why tracking her location wasn’t an idea during the investigation or even mentioned at all in the video.
@@kaseytriggs6859 Potentially they don’t know the email address and/or the password or it wasn’t turned on at all.
I do hope they find some sort of lead out of something soon or another spotting especially since so many people watch Kendall.
i don’t think you’re able to track a device unless it’s active or recently online, so if her computer was off when she left the house, i don’t think find my mac would work :( only way it would is if she opened it after she left her house. tracking the serial number is a great idea tho.
replying to boost!!
I really loved how you described her as having "low support needs" rather than high functioning or similar, I'm autistic and I've never heard it before. But I feel like it's a really good way of describing it (since the functioning labels are really outdated) and it's nice and simple for people outwith the autistic community to understand what it entails. So basically thanks for choosing your language so well.
As an autistic young woman, thank you so much for taking the time and energy to accurately portray and describe autism. This was incredibly refreshing, and didn't feel inaccurate or like an attack, which unfortunately happens often when nuerotypical people discuss nuero-divergence.
I have a daughter who is Autistic and I can’t imagine her disappearing. This really breaks my heart. I’m praying that her family finds answers and their little angel.
i went to bay beach one time with my cousin, And this guy ended up kidnapping her and took her all the way to california also. She was missing for 6 months. No she’s not alive anymore and she was 17 it’s been 4 years. I still pray for her i missed her i loved her she’s dead now i can’t do anything.
@@sugarneptunes I am so sorry for your loss. I have no words.
My eldest son has autism and kids at school are always trying to get him into trouble because all he wants is a friend….and he’s so trusting so if they say, “jump” my kiddo is there to ask, “how high?” It breaks my heart that it happens at school and now I have to be more aware of what others may be telling him on roblox or other online games he enjoys. I’ll be praying for your daughter, Alicia, and others like our children. All they want is to be accepted!!
😣😢
i'm an autistic adult and alicia reminds me so much of myself when i was her age, it's honestly crazy. i can definitely see this having been me if i'd met the wrong people online--i was very, very lucky. sending love to you and your daughter, as well as to alicia and her family.
Kendell's cat is such cutie and looking at her comforts me whenever these cases get tough. I pray Alicia is found.
Same! I can’t figure out how many kitties and doggies she has but they’re all so adorable and obviously so loved. Cats and dogs sleeping in the background is so comforting. I am so sad for Jennifer and Alicia. I will continue to hope that she is found. Her poor mum is obviously stuck in her own personal hell and it’s so unfair.
Anyone else here after Alicia has been found safe?
So happy she is well 🙏🏻
Please please cover the Vanessa morales case from Ansonia ct.

the internet is incredibly dangerous and it's just getting worse. the number of arguments I've had with 15 year olds thinking they're mature enough to date adults and adults thinking it's okay to be with children is horrifying.
TRULY horrifying. For some reason it's becoming more normalized and I can't stress enough how it's not okay at all. It's disgusting.
@@SherbertLime especially older women as groomers being normalized and nobody saying anything about it and calling it “cougar” and think it’s a “goal” cause she’s a “milf” no she’s just grooming young boys that’s it. call it what it is, Predator
It’s so sad because my older sister and I both met our husbands online, but we’re in our 30s now and the face of the internet has changed a lot even in the last 5 years. Laws are not keeping up with technology these days.
My son was targeted by a 42 year old man from Canada. We live in the USA. He was trying to groom my son and eventually send him explicit pictures and was starting to groom him to come to Canada. I found out and turned him in to the sheriff of my county and the RCMP in Canada. He is now looking at 24 yrs in prison. But he knew where we lived had his phone # and the whole nine yards. luckily I found out before he convinced my son to run away from home to his house.
God bless you. You are wonderful. 💕
Thank God nothing happen🙏🏾. Parents should be more alert about the online gamings. There’s lots of predators online.
Thank God you're son is ok, and you still have him. Very smart to be active in your sons business.💗🌹👍
Do you know why he chose your son? What did your son say when you turned the guy in? How did you find out about it? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a very paranoid mom :-(
What site was this man on
Can’t believe she has finally been located . They have a video of her talking to the police . Praying she goes back home with her mother ❤️
This is so unbelievably sad and scary. Jessica is so incredibly strong. She is amazing advocating so hard for her child. I’m heartbroken for the whole family.
This really hits home. I'm an autistic girl and it's painful how much I can see my younger self in Alicia. I can easily see how seemly finding someone who she thinks likes her could cause her to meet that person without considering the potenial danger. My heart breaks for her and her family. It's easy to see how much her mother loves her. I'll be praying for Alicia and for her to safely return to her family.
She went missing a few blocks away from my house. It was and still really is hard. Thanks for covering this Kendall💔
Yikes. That's so sad. :(
That’s heartbreaking 💔 😔
Watching this just after hearing the news that she was found alive!!! So glad that there were so many caring eyes on this case ❤
Edit: I removed the term “safe” from my comment because unfortunately, she is still in danger. She is living with the person who groomed her and convinced her to leave her parent’s home the night she went missing. I really hope that there can be some way that the justice system can step in, but it’s so sad to hear that she has just been with the abuser this whole time.
Me too! I can't wait till they release more information.
Yess❤
Unfortunately Alicia has Stockholm syndrome. She’s not home safe. She’s been groomed
@@Celestialfairy8 I learned more about how she was found recently and you’re absolutely right! She’s far from safe. And the fact that the police refuse to do anything is sickening.
Wow, that’s so freakin sad. I can’t imagine how hurt the mother must feel knowing her daughter is still in this man’s control. To have your daughter taken from you for 4 years only to find that she wants to be with her groomer is a really awful situation. But at least Alicia is alive.
Poor girl, I hope someone finds her eventually. Sushi probably misses her too.
As an Autistic person, I just want to thank you for how you went about talking about Alicia's Autism. A lot of times people rely on tropes and what most people assume Autism is and it's clear you put some research into the proper terms and how Autism really works. It's nice seeing someone talk about it in an educated way and still have the focus be on the case. So thank you for that on top of spreading the awareness Alicia's case needs
Same
I hate how people think they know what Autism is but the truth is they really have no damn clue.
Also Autistic and also agree 100%
I also agree
Yes! Like how she said Alicia has 'low support needs' rather than saying she is high-functioning.
The only way this case is ever going to be solved is if the detectives/whoever is in charge does it ONLINE. If they manage to get her discord account or at least a list of the servers she was a part of. They can start looking for suspects
This!!!!!
That's the problem with so many of these cases, you can't solve a case if you don't understand what it's about.
Comment this uo
Everyone’s make this comment relevant
This right here
I really wish I could hug you Kendall. You really give the victims their story and show us their beauty they brought to the world during their lives and who they are or were. Thank you for this. This is so important. Praying for this little baby girl.
The fact that she was spotted days later and so close to home, makes me think she's being held by someone local. I can't imagine a professional taking that chance. We must also remember to keep kids safe from acquaintances: doctors, coaches, educators, clergy, family, etc.. I'm so glad this is getting more attention, as I'm a bit disappointed in the policing. God bless mom! ❤🙏🏽❤
I totally agree. Of course Idk the exact steps taken by police but come on sooo many important clues and none of them lead to Something? She was seen in a local park… They can be looking miles away when maybe she is at the same exact neighborhood of where she lives
It’s seriously scary thinking/knowing that there are so many “expert” predators online. Alllll the children that play games online now. Especially since the beginning of covid. That many more children have been online. Anything can happen anymore. Anytime. Anywhere. Anyone.
that is exactly why my parents never let my brother play any online games like roblox or anything like that
Removing access of these apps won't help though? Why not educate them on proper internet behavior?
Your kids will find a way to bypass you. The fact that you think simply removing access solves this problem shows that
Tiktok too 😢
*It’s scary how so so SIMILAR this case is that to Hailey Burns* - and she too was lured away by an online predator and held against her will in awful, traumatic conditions. I hope one day Alicia is found much like Hailey was.
Shauna from tiktok?
Came here to say this
That’s exactly what I thought!
@@ednitatrejo just a keen interest in TC for the last 5 years haha
High school teacher here: another thing is there is no reason a minor needs their phone, tablet, laptop etc in the middle of the night. Good things don’t happen at 2am. Even if they aren’t talking to strangers, they should be sleeping. Can’t tell you how many TIRED teens I have who say they stayed up youtubing or whatever til 4am. Have them turn it off and turn it in to you before bedtime. Studies are showing that not only is there stranger danger but mental and physical health issues due to lack of sleep, peer pressures etc.
i totally agree. even as an adult i feel the strain of technology. i recently bought a regular alarm clock and now i charge all of my tech in another room. it has really helped me with getting more sleep and quieting my mind at the end of the day
I agree with this plan of action but the sad thing is I saw a study talking about how many kids have devices and social media accounts their parents have no clue about. They can get old devices from their friends or buy inexpensive ones that only work on wifi so they don’t need a parent’s money to be on it. It’s scary.
This is what we do with my 15 almost 16 year old. She has a regular alarm clock :) Never can be to sure!
im autistic like alicia and i rely on my phone to do everyday tasks. this might be helpful for allistic people, but this would cause more damage than good to people like me. i would feel very isolated, social situations are not easy to me and my phone can act as a buffer. this can very easily be harmful for autistic people, autistic people have different needs and different ways of doing things than allistic people. not to mention how many ND people use the internet to for their hyperfixations/special interests and to learn about topics that schools refuse to teach. it also connects us to people like us, which is very important.
@@ambrose6801 that's normal and fine but she's still a child and does not need it at night.
This is heartbreaking, we need to be more educated about human trafficking.
I have a nephew who works in trafficking and he's arrested many!!!

@@amandawaldron715 thank you I'll definitely check this out
We need to be a United front against this. But unfortunately it’s more important (in the US) to be divided on other louder topics 😞
Yeah, people still think it's a movie thing :(
it sounds like she was trying to impress someone. im autistic and in the past I'd change things (things I'd never normally change) to impress someone. its not easy to notice. my mom didn't notice those things in me eather.
im so sorry you are going through this. I wish you the best. sending love.
i think its more like we're mirroring the person who we like to impress them or just naturally
Yeah same
My sisters are autistic and they have traits that are the same they attach themselves to specific people on an obsessive level. They can't help it they wanna be like them be with them all the time ect
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also think a lot of autistic people find it hard to see signs of people lying/things being sketchy or not adding up, especially online.
@@idek7438
Not all autistic people.
Some look normal.
This case is very, very similar to the Hailey Burns case. Hailey, like Alicia was on the autism spectrum and communicated with people online regularly. Hailey was around the same age as Alicia when she was convinced by an older guy online to run away and live with him. He held her captive for over a year until the police finally found her. I pray Alicia is ok and is found soon
I have become very numb to cases, but this one has brought me to tears. As a young autistic woman myself, I see so much of younger me in Alicia. We have the same interests and everything. I donated to the GoFundMe, and I will keep this sweet angel in my thoughts.
She was groomed and lured out. I'm autistic and first time I was Introduced to the computer a 26 yr old man named Dave tried getting me to take a train to meet him in London. Even though I was smart to know not to go, he still groomed until my mother caught what was going on. She never reported it to police though, just scolded me as if I was the one in the wrong.
I’m sorry you went through that and I’m so glad you’re safe🥰 that’s horrible that your mother blamed you instead of just talking to you about creeps and reporting him. Please be safe hun❤️
Happened to me too. :(
I’m so sorry this happened to you 💚 glad you’re safe 💚
So sorry that happened to you. I just wanted to say this- as an older parent, I can imagine how scared your mom may have been. Just to think of the what ifs... I completely understand your feelings. The convo cpuld have gone another way. I bet she was scared. ❤
Sorry u went threw that fairy God mother. .this is something to parents to think about
I know that Alicia’s mother had been trying to get attention for this case on Tik Tok so i’m glad that you’ve decided to talk about it here on TH-cam where it will hopefully get more attention. My heart goes out to her family🖤
Since Alicia has a macbook, I am assuming she has an iphone. In that case, the police should be able to ask Apple to give them access to olivias apple id and icloud password. Having access to that should provide some more info especially her contacts and stuff.
Unfortunately apple doesn’t give any personal info like that to police but since it’s a minor they should make an excuse 😭 I’m not sure if that’s still a thing but I’m pretty sure i remember something happening awhile back and apple won’t open phones or anything for police
@@jessicacameron24 im wondering if she had my moms credit card info and stuff on her iCloud cuz she’s still a kid. That might give her mom the right to get her info. Or getting into her email can be helpful cuz then she can change say “forgot my password” on iCloud and they will send the password changing link to email and that way she can access the iCloud.
@@jessicacameron24 Apple can get info from the police. I bought an apple watch from someone on Fbook Marketplace and it ended up being locked and I could not get into it (so the guy scammed me). I ended up taking it to the police and they called Apple and got the information on the original owner. Turned out it had been stolen in another city and the guy who sold it to me (i had minimal info on him) was at the theft and was interviewed as a "witness". So the police can get some info. I'm not sure exactly what they are allowed to give but they did in this case.
I'm curious as to if they could use find my iphone or the tracker on the macbook. maybe not if they havent done it already
@@alyssabug2002 if the devices are turn on then one can log into their icloud and use find my iphone to track the device but i think if the devices are turned off, it only shows the last place the device was turned on
As a mom my heart hurts for Jessica. I can't imagine what she going through daily. I will keep my eyes open and sending prayers for Alicia and her entire family. Stay strong Jessica we are all with you and won't stop till Alicia is home and in your arms again.
My son is autistic(he is 18 now) but this is still and has been my biggest fear. Hes huge into gaming and I have always been terrified this would happen to him bc he just doesnt get how the world works no matter how much we try to explain it. My heart is absolutely broken for this family.
We had to put blocks on my 17yr old autistic son's phone, laptop & internet when we found out he was talking to strangers on Discord about sex and other things. One person even convinced him that he needed to kill himself & he tried. So we've had him in counseling also. The internet is a scary place.
I’m autistic, and my poor mother was terrified that I’d be kidnapped as a child because I didn’t understand that you shouldn’t go with strangers that promise to get you ice cream or a puppy. Nothing ever happened to me (thank god, I was kind of a dumb kid), but I do think it’s a common concern for parents of children with autism. Hope you both stay safe!
@@dawnvaughn9803 omg that is terrifying. I am so sorry. We've had to blocks on his phone/laptop/tablet etc bc he just does not understand that giving out his personal info is inappropriate and incredibly dangerous. He thinks everyone is his friend and is who they say they are and it literally keeps me up at night sometimes.
@Katie A unfortunately he just doesnt have the capacity to understand and embrace and process the info in videos like that.
@@Nightwalker-zk6ce ggggig
Completely uninformed suggestion here - I realise that if the comic was a gift, it's unlikely to have been resold. However, given its value, it could be a collectors item - So, it could be worth tracing any listings for sale in California ( since she mentioned on discord that's where she was going) and see if the seller matches the description of the man she was reportedly seen with ?
Good idea!
Please make this comment the top! It could help the case!

What an incredible woman, i'm in awe at how strong Jessica is, she did everything for her little girl and she seems like the kind of mom everyone deserves to have; this case is incredibly upsetting and I just hope they do find her or at least find an answer to everything 💜.
I really feel that Alicia is still alive. Her mother is such a wonderful woman and I feel in my heart that they’ll see one another again
she was found today !
And she's alive today all over the news thank God 🎉
Crazy u said this and she was found alive today.
The strength of her mother is incredible and she’s an incredible advocate for her baby girl. I’ll do everything I can to help share their story and hopefully bring some justice for their family.
I never saw this video and I thought I binge watched them all. Now that she has been found, I’m here to hear the details.
Poor Jessica, she looks so emotionally fragile like if you’d touch her, she would shatter into a million pieces. This is just devastating. We can’t wait to welcome you back home, Alicia ❤️
Gut wrenching listening to her try to speak about her beautiful baby😥😥
She’s strong too though!! She is fighting so hard for her daughter
The second she came on the screen I almost started balling she's shattered 😭
I have an autistic son who is just like Alicia and I’m crying for the mom… sending prayers and hugs
“Not everything that you think about has to be put into words every time.” ❤️ Love this!!
Yes! Just because you think it doesn't mean that you have to say it. :)
i remember seeing this when it came out... i live 20 minutes away from where she went missing, i see her moms FB posts every day, I think about her often even though i never met her.. it breaks my heart, i pray shes safe and is found because i know her mom sure as hell will never give up on her
Gosh, my heart breaks for her mother. As a mother myself this is my worst fear.
I fear bringing children into this world. Prayers and/or good vibes for you ❤️
Kendall: “I don’t want to scare anyone with this video.”
Unpopular opinion here, but i think that without being scared, we don't take enough precautions. And even then, it could not be enough.
Parents do as much as they can and sadly, not enough people talk about the dangers of the internet or smart devices.
Perhaps games and apps for kids shouldn't have a messaging option? as in no forum, no private messages, nothing like that...
Additionally, the 'groomer' was testing Alicia to see how obedient she is. I'm sure all the requests she made were because he told her to ask for those. Especially the expensive comic book.
Exactly, unless you actually get and know the red flags and know what will happen to you, your never going to actually understand what will happen. If you just sugar coat it then no one will actually get it. For example when I was smaller my mom used to tell me not to talk to strangers, I didn’t care and I would go online and at one point I got someone’s number, after that my mom told me what would happen to me and didn’t just sugar coat it. After that I never did that ever sgain
I don’t think all parents know to discuss Internet safety with their kids, especially ones who depend on their kids to help them with the computer. Or those with parents who have to work and leave their kids at home by themselves and no one to monitor their usage.
My parents used to often tell us stories about bad things that happened in the news with strangers. At least with me, it scared me sufficiently enough that I never talked to anyone I didn’t know, online. The only instance was maybe when our school board had an online system for all students in the schools in our district. So basically, people also in high school, that you can chat with. I think they scrapped it though, because they didn’t want to bear the responsibility of monitoring it. I thought that was something they should of maintained because it would have allowed kids to talk with others who are actually their peers (students had to have accounts approved by a teacher). It’s quite sad because these kids just want to be able to develop friendships, but come across evil predators, like what happened with Alicia.
I was thinking the same thing. We need to be scared, you won’t forget it.
Agreed, my oldest son is 10. He has Nintendo not xbox or playstation because Nintendo is the only kids gaming console that has no chat feature. To have a chat feature you have to download an app and of course they have to have passwords etc for the app store which he doesn’t have the password i do as its linked to my bank which also has encouraged him to ask permission to search for new games and such. He only goes on the internet at school not at home as he doesn’t need it i prefer books for research and knowledge and he doesnt have a phone and i have no plans to get him one any time. If he wants to speak to his school friends out of school me and the other mums set up zoom meetings for them. It is hard sometimes as he sees other kids have things and questions me but i have explained to him the dangers of online and that the fact is it is each individual’s choice what they let their child do and just because their friends mums are ok that doesnt mean i have to be ok. I actually might watch this video with him since it wasnt actually graphic or anything and id like him to hear this information.
how is this an "unpopular opinion"?
Thinking outside of the box here, but did she still have braces when she went missing? I'm thinking mexico or sketchy dentist to get them removed/tightened/reg maintenance on them. Send dental records through all data bases and match them. This is of course if someone has her and is taking care of her.
Great idea!
YES !!!
If we’re going that route, perhaps a really outside the box approach is use fire to fight fire.
Theoretically since the dark web is what started this whole mess, maybe a dark web hacker can be hired to try and scour digital footprints of Alicia and whoever she interacted with?
Surely there are skilled hackers that can do all that.
@@nicholass9841 yeah I think that's possible actually
