I’m resharing my friends post on here about this place Good Morning, I know a lot of questions are being asked, mainly, why was Gabrielle in Dallas, Ga when her family is in McIntosh and Brunswick. I don’t put a lot of my business on Facebook especially when it comes to my children. Those that are close know everything that I’ve been going through with Gab. Gabrielle was at Wellspring Living facility in Dallas, Ga. It is a rehabilitation center for at risk youth. Gabrielle is diagnosed with bipolar disorder,adhd, and odd. I received a call from someone at the department of juvenile justice last week informing me that Gabrielle was acting out and being aggressive. Gabrielle is not a fighter- she has never been in a physical fight aside from normal sibling fights between her and Taylor. When I spoke with her Wednesday and asked her what was going on, she told me that she has bruises ans scratches all over her and that the staff was abusing her. She said that as long as the staff is abusing her then she would NOT stop acting out and that she will fight every last person that tries to harm her. There was a staff member present during that phone call that I spoke with and she confirmed that Gabrielle did indeed have those marks on her and to request to have the cameras pulled. I immediately reached out to the department of juvenile justice and told them to request an investigation and have photos taken of Gabby holding a piece of paper with her name and current date to verify that these are current photos of her. On Friday I was told that an investigation is going on. On Sunday around 11 am, I received a call from DJJ informing me that Gabby “ran away” with 2 other girls from the facility. I was told that around 7:30 pm her and 2 other girls from the facility escaped. I asked how were they able to escape. They stated that there was a fight in the facility earlier that MORNING that Gabby was NOT involved in and one of the staff members security cards were taken. I was told that they chased them as they were escaping and the chase involved vehicles. The director said that the police got involved and chased the girls who ran into the woods but they got away. Nothing about that story sits right with me. I’ve talked to detectives, directors, and everyone is very nonchalant. No fliers or news coverage has been made about 3 missing girls. I work in healthcare and know that because of HIPAA, I can not be given the information of the other girls or their parents but I did give the director of the facility permission to give the parents my information and his response was “Oh we don’t do that here.” I am having to take things into my own hands because regardless of whatever, my 16 year old daughter was in their care and is now missing with not a single trace. All of her clothes and personal belongings are still there. She did not leave with any money or a phone. She is not from that area nor is she familiar with them. She has only been there for 30 days. Please continue to share her pictures and hopefully someone with a kind heart will lay eyes on my daughter and not take advantage of her and help bring her back to safety.
