| Tyla-Ann Placencia has been missing for two months. |
THE FATHER of a missing 14-year old girl fears his daughter may be the victim of human trafficking.
Tyla-Ann Placencia had just been elected class president at Oceana High School in Pacifica near San Francisco when she went missing on September 27.
“When you have a beautiful young lady that can make herself look almost 18-years-old, why would not some guy take advantage of that young lady? And that’s the worst nightmare,” said her father Aaron Placencia . “That’s the worst thing that can happen at this point.”
Her dad said she had good grades and they had talked about her college plans. She moved from Hawaii a year ago where she lived with her Filipina mother.
Police are treating the case as a runaway and believe Tyla-Ann does not want to be found. The anti-human trafficking group East Bay foundation Love Never Fails has been working with the father, according to NBC Bay Area.
“Children don’t plan on being exploited and abused when they run away but it’s a harsh reality,” Vanessa Russell said. “Within 48 hours, one-third of runaway youth will be recruited for human trafficking. That alone is reason enough to fervently search for a missing loved one.”
Police are asking people with information about the case to call 650-738-7314.
