Constance Kisbour Mensah, a 15-year-old girl who was reported missing on July 28, 2024, has been found alive and in good health.
Her disappearance had sparked concern after she went missing following a punishment.
According to her mother, Esther Asibi, Constance was punished for returning home late after going out to trim her hair on July 28.
The following morning when the family went to prompt her to prepare for school, they discovered that she was not in her room.
Her window was open, and her school bag and shoes were missing.
Subsequently, the incident was reported to the Central East Police Command.
On August 9, 2024, Constance was found near the Kasoa station with a woman who had been accommodating her.
The woman fled when Constance’s relatives approached, and the teenager was taken to the police station for questioning.
Initially, Constance resisted questioning but later confided in a senior CID officer about her reasons for fleeing home.
She revealed that a classmate and her relative had persuaded her to travel to their hometown to “chill” at a festival, but the trip did not materialize.
Fearing punishment, Constance wandered for days before being taken in by the woman, who exploited her for her thrift business.
Constance has been reunited with her parents, and the police are investigating the incident.
The case highlights the importance of vigilance and communication among parents, authorities, and communities to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of children.
