CANCELED PARENTS

 When our daughter first left we started a Facebook page. The page was started after we found out where our daughter was.  When we first found out our daughter was at Delaire High School teacher Dara Colt's home. We were shocked we did not understand. We wondered what people would think. This was weird, it made no sense. Was there anyone who would be willing to talk to our daughter and tell her we love  and miss her?  We were searching for answers. We were confused as to why our daughter just up and left. We were confused as to why a former high school teacher let us worry with despair about our daughter, why she wanted to hide our daughter. Why would a teacher of all people do such a thing?  We asked for prayers for our daughter. We said we missed her, that her pets missed her. We said we love her. It did not make sense that our daughter would just up and leave us, and leave her birds, her puppy and even her cat. Elizabeth loved them she loved us. I was in for a rude awakening. I

  Our daughter told us she was going to spend the night at a friend's house. She said she would text me to come pick her up. She took her computer to play video games. We had no reason not to believe her. We trusted our daughter. Our daughter gave no indication she was planning to move out or move half way across the state to live with her former high school teacher.  When Elizabeth didn't return we tried texting, and she didn't respond, we tried calling Elizabeth no response. We put her photo on Facebook telling anyone if they see her to immediately call 911 because she was missing. We called police reported her missing. We were living our worst fears our daughter was missing. I felt I was going to die right then at that moment.   We later found a note in Elizabeth's room saying she moved out to stay with friends, and not to contact her. The note sounded nothing like our daughter and read like Elizabeth was coached as to what to say. We have a difficult time believing

 We tried to be good parents to the best of our ability and sought solutions to the very great challenges with our daughter. We tried different therapists along with group and individual DBT therapy Dialectical behavior therapy. Our daughter refused to go to school, it was her senior year, I wanted nothing more than for her to graduate. She was smart, she scored in the top percentile on an AP exam, she was plenty capable. She missed too many days, so she was put into online classes. She refused to do her school work, she said it was boring. She was going to one of the best schools in the state, but she longed for DeLaire High School where Dara Colt teaches. Our daughter insisted we enroll her in a different school, so we did. Covid forced closure and she was put in online classes again. She refused to do her work again. I offered to hire a tutor, she pretended to be sick an hour before the tutor arrived. I had to cancel and pay the tutor. She made it clear she did not want a tutor. At
