I pray that she is found safe and soon.

i hope she is alright. and she comes home

#helpfindkara

Where's the Amber Alert?

My daughter goes to school with her. We're praying for Kara's safe return.

Holly Berec: I'm thinking the same. The boy needs to be checked out.

Check that boy please help her

I hope she will be found, its horrible...but I have to ask....why whyyy didnt she call 911...she had time to tweet it???? I hope she is home soon

Prayers for Kara and her family for a swift and safe return home.

What is the boy's name????? The boy that wanted to go out with her

i doubt it was the boy. nothing he did was really extreme enough to point fingers at him for the crime... yet... it would be a good idea to interigate him. also, she shouldve reported him before hand, that the boy was being rather disagreeable with her, considering the time span between the day she tweeted about him and now, but my 2 cents. my prayers go out to her. god help her please.

I dont think she had time to call the police based on she spelled the last few words wrong like we all do when we rush. Hope she is safe.

Have they tried tracking her phone yet? If she has it on her that might help.

I'm praying for her and her family...I have to say, I don't understand why she couldn't call 911. I hope we soon find out from her in person.

Her phone was found SMASHED on the floor and the back door wide opened when the parents returned home.

Her parents had come home and found her phone on the floor in the living room and the back door open

I don't think we should automatically assume that boy had anything to do with this from her tweet because if you read many of her other tweets, she seems like a very mean person, making fun of gays and indirectly tweeting about someone being fat, but nonetheless I hope she makes it home safe and okay.

Why does the 3rd paragraph say there are signs of a break in, but the 11:10 update say there are NO obvious signs of a break in?

Someone is posting all over twitter that's she's found. This user is saying his dad is a Clark PD and she was found. I just pray she is ok. Seriously I am actually praying this is just a prank she pulled. Thinking of her family

I heard she was found

#karaisfound is now trending.. Any truth to this?

I hate feeling like this but what if she did this all for attention. Like look at some of her other tweets there are pretty nasty. Like if it is fake she is gonna be in serious trouble. But who knows maybe it is real.

The last update said that Kara should contact her parents of the police....Wasn't her phone on the floor in the house?? Confused

Kara get home safe

Everyone she posted a picture 16 days ago with what appears to be a person stalking her in her backyard. Check it out.

I just Pray that she is safe. I hope it isn't a prank for her family's sake.

she doesnt have her phone on her and she was not found, although trends on twitter are stating otherwise. im praying for Kara and her family #helpfindkara <3

Joel z where at

The tweet says helppppppp with a picture and the person appears to be in the middle of the picture.

I doubt the boy is to blame, we all ha those highschool crushes where they dont leave you alone, but yes this girl is very mean, her tweets are not very nice and some of her pictures are kind of racist... How? By wrapping scarfs and other articles of clothing to make it look like a turban. I myself wear a turban and no we are not muslim we are east indian and she shouldnt be doing that or saying anything against fat or gay people also it is inapropriate. Even though she is awfully rude and racist... I still hope she gets home safe and sound. Praying for her.

I know where clark nj is aunt and uncle lived on alice lane. Possible this might be a prank, from her tweets she's not very nice. Hope she is found safe. So if this is a prank she Can be punished.

I know

Joel, that looks like a picture of two girls. Could be wrong though

I hope she is okay. It may have been random, but still possible.
Nobody will ever know exactly what happened except for her

https://twitter.com/i/#!/KaraAlongi/media/slideshow?url=pic.twitter.com%2Fq5OKpa0K

The picture tweeted saying "heeeelp" with the person in the yard was from the middle of September not tonight. Shame on a news site for not posting accurate information.

That is a picture of two girls that was posted 16 days ago... If your look carefully there os two girls standing and one of them that is further back is crouched... The one that seems closer is wearing shorts if you pay really close attention to it

Joel I still don't see it!

Joel Z 11:45 pm on Sunday, September 30, 2012 Everyone she posted a picture 16 days ago with what appears to be a person stalking her in her backyard. Check it out.

It looks like two people. A girl and the other one alittle to the right I can't make out.

I saw it and zoomed in really good it is a male!

It's funny how a pretty white girl goes missing everyone seems to care.
2,300 people go missing in the US EVERY DAY. She's also very rude, but people only care about her and not the 2,299 others because she's pretty. Amazing.

Is that a third girl on the way right in the picture?

Its sad because she does seem like a very mean girl and its just funny how when people describe someone murdered or kidnapped they describe them as being "Nice,respectful,etc;" It means nothing. Nonetheless the girl doesnt deserve to be kidnapped and harmed. This is EXTREME karma at the worst and hopefully she will return home safely.

Also she may not have called 911 because she didnt want to be heard incase she was hiding but she could've texted a relative or a friend individually instead of posting on twitter because people on twitter probably scrolled right past it thinking it was a joke because how often does someone tweet that theyre in danger. She also posted a picture from a while ago saying Help so maybe she was known to be "the girl who cried wolf" Unless she heard a noise and as a cruel joke posted it on twitter but then actually was kidnapped.who knows.

I don't wish anything bad on anyone but the more and more I read her tweets the less I feel for her.

Not trying to be negative or anything. I do hope they find her and no harm has been done to her, but why did she tweet to call 911 instead of calling herself? Maybe she was scared, I don't know, but yeah that's my only question.

Yo all the way on the right it looks like a ghost that's crazy in that pic joel

This girl is my husbands niece. She's 16 years old. I can't speak for everyone but I know I wasn't always the nicest person and made fun of others. But I grew up and matured and I can't believe that you are are bring so rude and judgmental.

Is nobody reading her new tweets?? She's tweeting right now saying "April fools mother f-ers" ...she was looking for attention....

Johnny i know right this just gets crazier and crazier.

The picture has two girls in it, one in white and one in all black next to her. If someone was actually stalking Kara I highly doubt they would be wearing white and she would have contacted the police about it already. Most likely just her friends.

Its two girls.. and that pretty obvious when you zoom in.

People need to think or read the damn comments above. She probably would have had less time if she called then tweeted. The "kidnapper" would have heard her and probably found her a lot quicker. Although yes, she sounds like a bitch, she doesn't deserve karma to this degree. Plus, she did have a target on er back, obviously! Those tweets weren't about her imaginary friend.

She has not been found. There are fake accounts on Twitter, & the trending topic about her being found is false. I'm tweeting & retweeting a lot about this story to try & get the word out just like everyone else. We are about the same age & I'd be completely terrified if it was one of my friends. It was best that she tweeted, not called. On a cell phone it is difficult to locate exactly where you are based on phone towers. Word got out a lot faster by her tweeting. & she is a teen, we cuss. We are bitches, but her life doesn't need to be taken or people don't need to not care because she is mean or rude. You don't deserve to have your life taken from you because you're mean. I don't care who you are.

Please have mercy people. And Hunter b what the fuck not cool. She doesn't deserve this. No one does/would. Her friends may be reading these comments right now. Think of them. And most of all think of her!

Everyone who is being mean about her, I hope karma comes around and gets you good. This obviously is serious. It does not matter if she is a mean person or not. Besides that, a person's personality should not be solely based on their tweets. God taught us to love and care for everyone. She is also SIXTEEN. By calling her names and saying that people shouldn't care makes you no better than the mean things she tweeted. Kara my prayers are with you.

Yeah, her friend fat slut? Bet they're BFF's, right?

Dang, and to think, top news in my town is "electronic recycling day scheduled for Saturday"...

Madison I just posted a picture on twitter about the same thing 2 new ones were made last I checked saying April fools mother-ker it may be someone who knows her and might not like her or she just got in a lot of trouble or it is another attention hog

There is someone in my hour ecall 911. Change the r in hour to an s and move the e from ecall infront of the s. "There is someone in my house call 911

Theres a story on twitter that she was killed is it true?

Okay honestly, who cares if she was a "bitch"? Nobody deserves to be kidnapped. Rude or not, that's not fair. And half of you people have no idea what you are even talking about. The picture she posted 16 days ago may be two girls, but just because they're girls why aren't you guys worrying about it? Can girls not kidnap other girls? It doesn't just have to be a guy. If you have nothing nice to say to about then why even comment? And even if she is faking it, there is no reason to dog on her. No one knows what happened to her or if she's doing this for attention. And even if she is, don't judge someone just because they sin differently than you.

Whoever the Anoyomus person is up there, I don't think this is very funny. Joke or not. A girl is missing. Serious actions are being taken & I don't think it's an "lol" situation.

Just saw she was dead! And just think of all her family and everyone and she is suffering some where and reading all this! They need to go investigate that boy that stalks her! It would be the first place I would look!

The boy can't be a suspect he has special needs.

I am honestly scared right now. Kara is about my age and if someone could get her, what makes me think someone can't get me? I really do hope that Kara is okay. Sure she said some bitchy stuff, but she is a human being. Everyone says things that r rude as hell, or at least think them. So I pray to God she is alright. If this is some sick prank though, I will be pissed. Also, they said there was no sign of a break in? Well, think of this...maybe her friends usually knock for her on her back door, she unlocked it through the closed blinds and then the person came it? Just a thought. And that Samuel guy sounds suspicious. And if it was a prank, do you really think that people would be camping on her lawn? I ran away once, and left a note. She does sound like she loves her family though so if she were to run away, she would leave a note. Also, she is a pretty white girl and I have noticed that when a not so pretty black girl is kidnapped, no one cares. So.....And i don't want her to die. Her family and friends may be reading this and they may be crying right now so....keep in mind that you would be sad if you were her friend. I pray she is safe and well and that she doesn't die. If anyone needs to talk, my kik messenger app username is bjrcarebear

I know someone that knows Kara and the boy she told me that the boy has special needs

I'm guessing its either a prank or suicide. Nearly all of her tweets are negative. One tweet in particular makes me wonder if she wasn't an in-the-closet lesbian who felt unaccepted. Either way, the poor thing is in serious need of proper attention and love. Just my guess. :( Hope you find her safe & sound!

I don't know her but everyone, you don't know her. You don't know her life. Kids have crushes, leave the boy alone. The picture is of 2 girls, it isn't someone stalking her, it's her friends or something. You don't know if she's racist, it wasn't a picture of her with a scarf it was her friend, she had it on her head not to make fun but just by goofing off and she posted it for #embarassyourbestfriend. And people should really know the facts before jumping to conclusions. My friend was hit by a car and died and people were saying how she was bad and that her parents didn't discipline her. You don't know them. Don't post without the facts. My friends family had just been through a traumatic time her little brother had an accident and she was going to go to school early so she decided to walk and unfortunately didn't make it. But in conclusion, it's okay for people that don't know her to be worried, it shows humanity. Don't say she's mean, you don't actually know her. Most of you are adults, so grow the hell up and act your age. Don't make fun, mock or be mean to children. Hope that she is found okay and that is really all you can do.

To the anonymous person who commented me back, my prayers are with you too. I hope one day you'll embrace God's love and not be so insecure with your life that you have to be so hateful to others. I may be a "stupid Christian" but I'd rather be that any day than a miserable person without Him in my life. Even though your comment was completely uncalled for, Christ still loves you.

Ok i just have to say, as a teenager myself, that hellpppp picture kara posted is absolutely 150 percent just her and her 2 friends messing around. Yea the one on the right is a guy, whats the difference? They clearly would not pose like that if they didnt know she was taking a picture, and this would have happened much closer to that date she posted the picture if it WAS real. If this her trying to get attention, shame on you. But even if it is, I hope you get home safe and i will be praying for you.

http://www.facebook.com/HelpFindKara

Just because this girl said mean things doesn't mean she is a bad person. I have studied psychology. A lot of young girls deal with their emotions differently. I do think a lot of the things she wrote is a "lashing out" call. I have seen this type of behavior so many times in my line of work. As for the boy. He may or may not be to blame. I have also studied stalker behavior. No one knows how this boy made her feel. How do we know she wasn't being harassed by this boy? Maybe he was angry by her tweets about him, and made him hurt her? You never know what goes on. Does no one watch those TV shows about real life stalkers on the Discovery Channel and other channels? It does help you a lot if you ever find yourself in that position. Another thing, why does everyone say "Why didn't she just call 911?" Well, obviously she didn't want the intruder to hear her. People, think outside the box a little bit.

I just PRAY that this girl is playing a joke on her family because if she is really in danger...who knows what will happen. :-( God Bless her and her family.

I saw a story on twitter (not going to sleep until resolved) this girl is dead ya so she may act like a spoiled brat to be honest most 16 year olds girls do. Makes some cruel jokes but don't we all but IF THIS IS REAL we shouldn't be saying hateful things about this girl. Yes this case a bit sketchy but Sierra was able to figure it (I couldn't have done that) out. Now we have two people here that MAY be part of this case Andre Pagan and Samuel Guskind (I am guessing am on cell phone). Now they may not be part of this but the police might want to check.

Hopefully this was some sort of prank and that she'll come home soon; if not then #pray :(

Jannah I just saw this. Wow. & this really is this girls account.

I've worked with special needs. Mental issues don't automatically remove you as a suspect. You're equally capable, if not a little more in some cases.

hey anonymous

Its not fake! She has more followers than that now. The picture is not real. It can't be a minute ago.

I will cry if she is dead, but think of it this way everyone....if you were in her shoes, would you do this for attention? Even if I was the biggest bitch alive, I wouldn't. She seems like she loves her family dearly and would never hurt them, so why would she pull a joke this big? My prayers are with her. Also, it should get you guys thinking. 1-ur calling her all of this rude stuff when u don't know her. Maybe she cuts or something idk, but you swing shit, is making you just as bad as the next person. 2-If she is dead, wouldn't u feel bad for saying all of this stuff? Like really, if you were an ass to someone at your school and then they died wouldn't you feel bad? This should get you all thinking! Be nicer to one another because YOUR words could be the cause if a death. And 3- if this could happen to her, what makes us any safer? We always do crazy shit, what if someone is watching us? What if someone is cyber stalking us? I think that after this, I'm scared to leave my window unlocked!

Seriously I just checked! She has 71k followers. The picture of her joking is fake!

Whatever happened, learn from it. You don't tweet if your in trouble unless there's NO other option. It takes less time to call 9-1-1 than to tweet a full sentence. You don't even have to talk when you call 911, u keep the phone close in case you have to scream or get a chance to make a quick whisper. They teach you this at a young age. If your on the phone with 911 and someone grabs you, u can do many things... Call out the persons name if you know them, describe them, let 911 hear a struggle if there is one, etc. when u tweet, knowledge is very limited. It took allot more keystrokes and opening twitter than to dial 9-1-1. Learn from this.

dude, anonymous, stop being a troll lol. you're just upsetting people for what? a little laugh??

She is gaining followers like crazy. I'm not sure what to believe. But the tweet WAS sent.

She is gaining followers every second. The tweet was sent by someone.

We appreciate everyone's comments on this story, but I'd like to remind everyone to please keep the comments clean and be sensitive to the situation and Kara's family. Comments that are profane will be deleted.

Jaber, wow!!!!!!! What did people have to say to that? Also, where is she and where could she be? They say they found her phone and that some dogs tracked her. Wow, just...wow

Most teenage girls call their friends rude names its just how we play around. The majority of teenage girls are ignorant and mean towards other people especially on twitter where no one knows who your talking about. She doesnt deserve to be kidnapped because she tweeted some very rude things. Also to the people stating that she could have just called 911 not only could she have been trying to avoid someone hearing her by the looks of it she was already on twitter. Most teenagers can type really fast so that Could have even faster than trying to call. I hope she is found and i keep her in my prayers

But look at the time! She had a shitton more followers than that at that time. People need to open their damn eyes! Anonymous, chill out dude. Haha, just calm down. We don't need people getting pissed at you, even though they're already thinking about the girl.

The picture is fake, her 966 tweet was the 911 tweet, so how was her 966 tweet the faking tweet? its not. its fake. photoshop at its finest. She is still MISSING!!

the "tweet" that everyone is saying she posted is fake. if you look in the picture is says she has 966 tweets. if you go check her twitter now it still says 966. if she deted that tweet it would say 965. obviously fake.

Why would they delete our profane comments? Maybe this will knock some sense into her, if the "kidnapping" didn't already!?

Idk but she unfollowed someone to, pick says 130 she has 129

That's screenshot of her Twitter page is fake, notice the tweet counts are the exact same..

That tweet was obviously not fake that's when she had 31k followers and was/is still getting followers but anyways that tweet NOT fake she sent it out and proved it was all fake!

The picture in the dark only has two girls in it, and was tweeted 16 days ago and right before the picture she tweeted and said 'this is so illegal ' . But yet it was still 16 days ago. This is all stupid. Yes I feel bad but think of all the there people missing. Not just her. Stop with the lies and rumors.

she unfollwed someone

Hope she's okay

that picture is definately a fake, if you look close enough you will see that her tweet saying "there is someone in my hous ecall 911" on her original page it was not towards anyone, unlike the fake one it shows her tweeting it to someone in a conversation cause the little conversation bubble shows that.

That boy who "stalks" her is just a freshman who thinks he's found love. He's honestly a kind hearted kid. He's a part of my Boy Scout troop and honestly, he goes through a lot. He does not need this bull with people pointing fingers at him. You should be ashamed of yourselves if you think he has a part in this.

the picture of her saying she was kidding isn't real, check the tweet count of what she has now and when that picture was taken, 966

http://twitpic.com/azzl9f

People are so quick to believe ANYTHING they see. Especially pictures. They can be faked so easily. Please learn that technology has come this far and stop being so gullible. That aside, im waiting for another update from another REPUTABLE website/organization before I say anything else. Whether she was kidnapped or faked it, she needs to be found.

The number of followers doesn't matter. It's the tweet count.
How can she say call the cops and it be at 966. Then tweets that she's just kidding, an the count still remains at 966. Please explain?

Ok, everyone most of these comments are simply not OK. you are casting judgment and disregarding the fact that this girl might be endangered. A lot of you are taking your own issues and placing it on this girl. This is not a racial issue: so the white girl shit has got to stop. The teenage angry boys who think they are funny saying rude disrepectful things about this girl, needs to stop. You are just as guilty as the girl in this regard. This is not funny. I pray for all of you. And honestly, Twitter, is a wonderful tool of social media. When gov't in another country tried to shut down the voices and internet a few months back, twitter was the only voice left. People came from all over, different nations to convene and support. And what is happening here today. Without evidence, without fact, with shoddy new reports that contradict themselves (because all media outlets want to win the race of reporting) you are instead of using you minds and caring about another human being, destroying her. It's disgusting. Shame on all of you. Do not decry this powerful tool. And even if it is a hoax, the next time you see something like this it might not be. And if it was you, you would want people to respond with respect and diginity. And to freakin look for you, right? right. so shut up already and spread the word man.

So I found this really weird. Everyone might want to check this. She is now following 129 people. But in the pictures above she was following 130. Now Someone could of deleted there twitter. I don't really know. It was just really weird and creepy https://twitter.com/_Scarella_/status/252632493398847488/photo/1

People could also hacked into her account too...keep that in mind. Just saying. I understand that there is so many people out there that are missing, but how many people are ABLE to be looked for? You know? There is a certain limitation to what a Police Officer can do, especially without any leads. You know? Why can't people just leave race out of this? Seriously? It's getting old. This isn't the 1950s anymore. We live in 2012. Regardless of what happens. She needs to return to her family safe and sound.

Also, Anonymous, just because I study Psychology, doesn't mean I can't be respectful for this family in their time of need. Learn some respect for others.

If she ran away fuckig team up think of where she likes to chill , smoking spot ? She mentioned in a tweet " you must be high "

hope she safe go home soon

but if her phone was SMASHED up she could of done that before she run away now one knows if she run away or kidnapped > all i said is i hope she gose home safe

Photoshop is a wonderful thing by the way. The picture could possibly be fake. Don't write it off so soon though. I'm just saying hopefully she is fine.

Just thought this should be seen by those who don't have a twitter as well. http://twitpic.com/azzl9f

Okay, to this anonymous person, you're comments are uncalled for. If the only comments that you have to make are sexist, hop off it. There are people here who actually care. Stop being insensitive and find something better to do with your life.

People are photoshopping pictures of her twitter. Observe the number of tweets she actually has are the same as the number she has in the photoshopped photo after she "tweeted again"

FYI. If she posted the "wtf it was a joke" comment. Shouldn't there have been 967 tweets when the screen shot was taken? Just a thought.

what is going on this weekend!!! we had a 16 year old boy go missing by the Nebraska/Iowa border friday and they found him dead in a field earlier today(sunday)!! seriously wth is going on!!!

just to show how easily twitter can be photoshopped

https://twitter.com/ThatsNotGlue/status/252636590273335296/photo/1/large

this is kara's "latest tweet". you all act like photoshop doesn't exist.

SHE'S STILL MISSING.

We all want to give our opinions and quite frankly, they all suck! They last thing you say is I hope she is OK! No!! That should be the first damm thing you say instead of calling out all the inconsiderate %&*$# on how shitty they are. And for some, they may pray to God she's OK. But God doesn't just come down and there's a flowing light over her and she is found. We just look to believe in something and hope for a brighter future just because the going got tough.

I've had mobile notifications on for her account for several hours. She has not tweeted anything.

Maybe she deleted a tweet.

Anonymous...shut up. Good mother of crap, no one cares about your opinion. Be stupid somewhere else, thanks. No one is asking you to agree. I know it'll be difficult...but do your best: try not being a total nuisance.

This is from the Star Ledger at 12:15am. This is getting ridiculous. http://mobile.nj.com/advnj/pm_29221/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=R7MEILtB

I hope this is fake, for her sake, and if it is, she is going to be one of the most hated people on the planet. Crying wolf like this will only make people skeptical if they see someyhig like this again, and if it is real then, whoever is missing at the time will have less support and attention that they NEED. Plus, she definitely doesn't post the kind of things that will lead to positive attention.

All said, whether it was a joke or not, I hope she gets home safe. I can't imagine being her parents right now.

I'm going to sleep bow, but I pray she is safe. Stop bashing on her people. She is a human being you know? Alright, HFKA

https://twitter.com/KristaLong20/status/252624659378491392/photo/1/large enough said some kids need to understand somethings are not a joke real people do get kidnapped

is she still missing plz

If she tweeted that and deleted it her tweet count would have gone down..

In the picture it says 966 tweets..on her page it's 966 tweets..the picture is photoshopped..pray for kara

Anonymous,
Since you only believe in "psychology". I would highly suggest you seek some professional help in that area, as soon as possible! And you are wrong! People that do believe in psychology, can also believes in prayer. It's only a closed minded person that cannot believe in both!!!!

What the police should be doing is questioning that Samuel Guskind guy who she tweeted about a few days ago. If he's nowhere to be found then it's suspicious that he could be involved or with Kara. Idk who she is but she has been trending on Twitter and Instagram since this happened. I pray that the Lord protects her and the police find her ALIVE and bring her home. Those who are involved in this, will pay for the damage they have done. Justice will be made! #HelpFindKara and #BringHerHome

Who knows... Rumors are flying. Nonetheless im super creeped.

i don't even know this girl, just saw a post on facebook but some people posting on here are ridiculous. shes a normal teenager with normal teenage thoughts, anyone posting with kids growing up in this era clearly doesn't know them too well if they think her tweets are so far out of the ordinary. most of her tweets are clearly directed at people because they have offended her. and honestly people need to realize that when someone says gay that it usually isn't to offend homosexuals, it's just a loosely used term nowadays. and fuck no ones perfect or the nicest human being ever. seriously take a look at urseleves before you judge

If you really want to be smart with photoshopping her tweets you should realize that the conversation icon isn't supposed to be there. Well I hope she is found and the person who made a parody account for her is ignorant and so are a lot of these comments. I understand that people get kidnapped everyday but it was the fact that she tweeted before she went missing. People find that weird, scary, and maybe even interesting. Her tweets might be bitchy but that doesn't mean she was a bad person. No one deserves to have something horrible happen to them cruel person or not. Just remember that's someone's child. -follow @bornsotrill

I know this girl. She isn't the nicest human being on earth, but I do hope they find her. Hopefully she's not crying wolf. I feel bad for Samuel Guskind though. Everyone is going to be pointing their fingers at him without really knowing whether or not he has anything to do with this.

Why does every situation automatically turn into a race war? We finally got a black president, clearly our society doesn't have the racist antics as we did tens of years ago. Her being white has nothing to do with why this blew up. I just found out about this via twitter, and with more and more young people using twitter, her friends were able to make this a "world wide trending topic". If a black or Latino girl was kidnapped and had a lot of friends on Twitter who were worried about her, the exact same thing would happen. So, let's end the absurd talk about race and focus on what is happening, a girl is missing and it's devestating.

I do not know this girl, i seen status's about her and got curious. I rounded up a couple of friends and we searched the area pretty thouroughly. We searched through the woods near her house about a 1/4 mile in. We searched the skatepark, local bathrooms, rivers and ponds in the middle of different woods. We did not find any tracks or fresh footprints because of the rain. Best of luck to her family, and we hope she returns home safely.

The fake accounts are ridiculous, the photoshopped pictures are ridiculous, and all of you comments are as we'll. no one knows FOR SURE what happen to Kara. Instead of making your assumptions, ridiculing, pointing fingers, or trying to be investigators why don't you give your condolences to her family, and say a little prayer. She, nor her family, or any people you guys are trying to pin point out deserve this. Also, if you don't have anything nice to say then in this situation you probably shouldn't say anything at all. Kara, I pray for your safe return and your family and friends are in my prayers.

Perhaps she was on twitter when the house was broken into, she typed what she could, and then hid or faced the intruder. Look how often she tweets, it was probably just easier to tweet it but why would anyone assume she just ran away? Not many kids are willing to smash their phones, and run out the back door for some attention. People get kidnapped often. This is a real situation until further informed. Imagine this was your child or friend and they were missing for 8-9 hours now.....have some respect. We would be lucky to find out it was a prank and know she's ok but "pranks" Sony usually lAst this long with kids.

Wow some ppl are heartless..read some of the replies to her "bad tweets" ..seeing ppl saying these things is almost as bad as the kidnapping itself..we get it..ur the anti-social % of america..the rebels..congratulations u made ur point and told all of us sheep what we needed to hear right..and only at the expence of a 16 yr old girl..who may or may not be dead as we speak..and a grieving family who has to be going through hell right now..good job guys..but do all of us good ppl and cast ur bullshit opinions somewhere else..and leave this to those of us that genuinely care about our fellow man..I dare anyone of u to say that to my daughters face..you are pathetic..to the family and friends..and the girl wherever she may be..my heart is with u..we hope for ur safe return

Dont*

The picture posted here says she's following 130 and now her twitter account is following 129 . At first I agreed that it was a photoshopped picture the one that said she was Jk but now I wonder because if you check yourself she has 1 less follower since when this report was filed. Also, According to the National Center for missing and exploited children there is no active amber report out for her as claimed in this article. See for yourself http://www.ncmec.org/missingkids/servlet/AmberServlet and lastly, there is an account @Find_Kara created over 12 days ago. I don't think this is real anymore. Idk

Oh and no other website aside from this and 2 others have reported it. People were saying it was on CNN ect.. No. It's not.

The cops just said the case is a missing person not a kidnapping.

Regardless of this whole it was photoshopped someone tell me this : in the original photo posted by the website with the police reports you will see that she is following 130 people...she is now following 129 go see for yourself

Two hundred one comments in three and a half hours. That's almost one per minute!

Perhaps someone unfollowed her or deleted their account and that's why her following number went down. If she had her phone on her to unfollow someone the police would've tracked the sim card by now

were is she from what country i am in england just wounder what time it happen in my time any one know

To those who say burglaries mostly happen at night- what is wrong with you? Why about the two men who snuck into the familys home and murdered the wife and two kids while the husband was tied in the basement. During the morning. People are sick. Who cares what her tweets sound like as a person. She is a 16 yer old child. Someone's child. You need to assume she IS missing and something happened. Maybe it's a joke and she is too scared now to come home. She's a child. And they don't think thoroughly with things like this. But until we know what happened, you need to assume she was telling the truth. And the twitter account is obviously being monitored at this point. If she was changin it or if changes were made, the police would be tracking it

And most of those comments are stunning in the insensitivity, ignorance and pointlessness. The biggest problem with social media is that is seems to have become legitmized "electronic Tourette Syndrom". People need to learn that just because they have an opinion doesn't mean they should articulate it.

Did anyone else notice that in the picture of her twitter that they have, there is no flower light thing behind her name, but when you look now there is?

Look at how she treats others, why would anyone feel for her? I hope she did get kidnapped, that would teach her a lesson.

god please help this family.....

So why is there no Amber alert?

Freedom of speech shouldn't extend this far. Moderators, there is some vile and hateful speech on here. Nor sure what youd wait for to start deleting. There are posts that add value snd spirited debate, but this exceeded inappropriate a long while ago. I'm sure the police don't need suggestions from us with our tv watching backgrounds and fake or not, real people and emotions are involved with real consequences, and i just hope for a positive ending for all involved.please delete all this garbage before more are hurt, especially the family. Shame on so many of you.

Praying for her safety. Dear God please help her and make sure she is safe. My heart aches for her family

Does it have to be that it's an abduction before it cna be an Amber Alert?

However, the U.S. Department of Justice issues the following "guidance", which most states are said to "adhere closely to" (in the U.S.):[11]

1.Law enforcement must confirm that an abduction has taken place.
2.The child must be at risk of serious injury or death.
3.There must be sufficient descriptive information of child, captor, or captor's vehicle to issue an alert.
4.The child must be 17 years old or younger.[

What was she wearing? Saw a girl walking on raritan on the opposite side rotondos in a peach colored hoodie around 11:30. Don't want to scare anyone, but you never know.

god bless all the people who care. I am praying for Kara to return back home real soon!!!

She couldn't call 911 if the kidnapper was in her house? They would get angry & probably hurt her. Hope your okay kara.

looks like police said she left on her own, so she just ran away, seeing some of her tweets I don't feel all that bad. There are kids who have actually been abducted that are to this day still missing and the media coverage is low.

First of all, I'd like to point out that the police have never, ever been wrong before. They always know exactly what happened, and therefore, we should stop looking for this girl to make sure she's safe and continue the lynch mobs that have formed online calling for her to be killed and kidnapped, beaten, "taught a lesson", etc.

I mean, threatening a troubled girl (which you would have to be to fake something like this) always has great outcomes and never leads to suicide or self harm.

Maybe she had a reason to run away, ever think of that? Maybe Kara had issues at home, or maybe hated herself and needed to find herself. I have done it before but came back. I want to do it again to go places, but I won't. But remember, she could still be in danger. As a girl of her age, I know that if I could, if someone online claimed they loved me after talking to them for a long time, I would go meet them. Maybe a main cared so much for her, she went to meet him and he is just a sex creep!!!!! Honestly, all of you rude ass mother fuckers need to do a personality check and check your ego at the door. I pray for you Kara! And I have 'HFKA' weirdness on my wrist. #helpfindkaraalongi

She needs to be charged and ARRESTED for the time and money she wasted that could have been spent looking for children who have actually been abducted. Don't make excuses for her. Yeah she could have problems at home, yeah she could be going to meet a boy or "find herself" but don't cause a NATION WIDE PANIC because you're a little drama queen looking for attention.

All I have to say is the girl either wants attention or is so unhappy she wanted to leave. Thought she could cover it up by making it out to be a kidnapping. All I know is she called a cab. TOOK THE CAB. And went to a trainstation. So if something shall so happen to happen to her yes I'll feel bad. But not completely. If you would have stayed home you would have never been in harms way...

Any updates??

The girl abducted herself. What a surprise!

Should I call my local news and report this? Maybe it will get the word out. I live only about an hour away from her so...should I?

Why didnt she call 911 instead of tweeting? The stupidity these days

Her being a "little blonde girl" has nothing to do with why she's getting attention, and I think that it's really ignorant to think that. She posted it on twitter, and that's the reason for the attention. It would have got attention for any race or gender.

I seriously think some of you people underestimate how teenagers these days connect and associate with each other. Being a 16 year old girl myself we call our best friends the harshest of names and laugh it off, I understand that some of her tweets come off as too far but really is that the reason to judge someone when they may possibly be in grave danger? Even if it is a hoax, police have to treat it like a real case because someone's life could be at risk. To people saying that just because she is "a pretty white girl" and that's the only reason it got all this media coverage, I don't think you realise the huge impact social networking has in this generation. Twitter is one of the most used websites of social online interaction therefore it is only expected that this story has had worldwide attention as I've heard about this story all the way from Australia. Honestly to the 'adults' on here grow up. This is someone's daughter, relative and friend. Show some sensitivity and decency. Sorry for the essay.

You honestly can't tell me race, gender, and age didn't have anything to do with popularity! Everyone is going to give her attention! If it was a black kid or a gay kid or even a boy people would honestly care less and the support will fizzle put right away. People who think that anyone could have gotten that attention like she did, are definitely too sheltered!

SHE IS IN RUTHERFORD NJ STAYING WITH SOME GUY. HE TWEETED IT AN HOUR AGO AND POSTED A SCREEN SHOT OF THE CONVERSATION HIM AND KARA HAD TEXTED EACH OTHER BEFORE THEY GOT ON THE TRAIN TOGETHER.

Any update ?

I havent read all of the comments. Some have vaild points and others are just cruel. There are no words to describe what the family is going through... It has to be devastating.

But I need to mention this as it is bothering me. I've read some of the tweets and to be frank, some of them boarder on bullying. Tweets like those are what causes bullied children to do unthinkable things. I pray that parents with children make an example of her Twitter feed for their own children.

May she return home safe and sound.

Update soon? Also, is this something I should report to my local news? I live in PA so....

N e update if she is back home?

I just wanna say I read the story nd looked at y'all comments nd even looked on her twitter yes she's rude but hey don't be like her she def has a way with words nd her spelling is always off she also does a lot or tweets sounding depressed nd manly upset with her mom often saying suicidal thoughts even if so she possilbly ran away from my point of view think about it smh nd the cops should look into the train station thing research who she knew outta town poor baby she def is loved so if you see this girl go home

It's like we're all insecure teenagers again. Maybe this should be a more private affair, and the police not hampered by buttinskis and hero wannabes.

NJ.com has reported that Kara bought a train ticket to NYC and then after that tweeted her bogus kidnapping report. This is a calculated act and appears to have criminal intent.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/10/missing_nj_teen_kara_alongi_bo.html

The girl needs to be left alone....Don't waste law enforcements time to go look for her. She left on her own. Maybe her family/friends who wish her safe return should never have made her do this in the first place. Grandfather mother father friends, don't go getting 2 faced now that she is gone. They couldn't see it coming? Not even 1 person? She is scared to return if she wants to because she knows what she did was wrong and is embarrassed for what she did. Also facing jail time is not something to look forward to either. She created a federal offense. Not just Clark anymore (even though they gave up) it's F.B.I. time. She is going to jail. Then when she does and is put in female adult correctional facility in Wyoming what are her friends and family going to do then?

I pray for her safety. I read a bunch of the tweets everyone is carrying on about and they look totally normal to me. Hello! that's the way kids talk. I'm a senior -- think back to the way you used to talk to your buddies when you were a teen.

That girl should be placed in a nunnery for three solid years, with no social media or television. That'll help her overcome the psychological and emotional poisoning administered by crappy American pop culture.

Its been awhile now. Im happy that she is OK. I hope she is getting the help she needs. Lets start by supporting her and remove this from the Patch. Shes a young girl and has her future ahead of her.

Just found out this idiot said she was abducted by a black man which turned out to be false. No one is discussing this serious accusations. So many innocent people get arrested and sent to jail because of racist people like her. I understand she is a product of her racist parents and racist community, Clark. Why didn't she say a white man abducted her. Oh i forgot they shoot innocent children in schools.
