The parent of a missing 15-year-old Michigan girl are asking for the public's help in finding the teen and bringing her home safely, ABC13 reported.
Gracie Hewartson of Hopkins, Michigan, has reportedly been voluntarily missing since Friday afternoon after disappearing with a man she allegedly met through Instagram.
The pair believe Gracie voluntarily went with a man who contacted her through her Instagram account, and who offered the teen a place where she could live with him, Darrin said.
Gracie's friends had previously warned her against meeting the man but she ignored them.
They say Gracie went with the unnamed man "willingly."
"But she was being baited," Darrin said. "She went under the prospect of 'come live with me and I'll take care of you and everything will be OK and you'll never have to be found again.'"
In an effort to spread the word about their daughter's disappearance, they have started the Facebook page, Help Us Find Gracie Hewartson. On the page, they've included various pictures of the teen, as well as printable handouts and flyers that they encourage people to distribute.
They're also asked to post this information on the Facebook page.
Gracie is described as being 5'3, 135 pounds with hazel eyes, short dark hair, glasses, and scars on her upper thighs. She was last seen wearing white jean shorts and a black hoodie.
"We just want her home and safe," Micki said.
