Teenager Who Disappeared From Brooklyn School Is Found

A 15-year-old girl with severe emotional problems who walked out of her Brooklyn school this week and was missing for two days was found safe at a friend’s home on Thursday, officials said.

“As a parent and as a grandmother in particular, I’m relieved to announce that the child has been found,” the schools chancellor, Carmen Fariña, said during a visit to a charter school in Queens.

According to the police, the girl, Nashaly Perez Rodriguez, was found at the house of a friend in East New York, Brooklyn. The friend’s mother called the police on Thursday morning to say the girl was with her and officers picked her up around 7 a.m.
