teen found safe in Manchester
July 10, 2006
MANCHESTER – A Milford mother said her 16-year-old daughter, who disappeared last week from a home for troubled girls, was found yesterday in Manchester.
"I retrieved her and she is safe," Debbie Clough said. "Unfortunately, she will be going back where she was."
Clough's daughter, Kasey Mangold, went missing last Wednesday from the Germaine Lawrence School, a residential facility in Arlington, Mass., that specializes in treating girls who are struggling in school or have acted out in dangerous or criminal ways. Mangold was placed there about two weeks ago after she stole Clough's car, her mother said.
Police in Arlington say they receive between three and four missing-person reports from Germaine Lawrence each day. Most end up returning within a few days, Lt. Paul Dooley said.
As with all cases, he said, Clough's name was entered into the National Crime Information Center, a computerized database used by law enforcement officials throughout the U.S.
However, he said, "It's not a case where we actively go pursuing every single girl that goes missing from there. For one thing, we don't have the resources."
Claiming to be frustrated with police efforts, Clough posted more than 300 flyers from Milford to Boston and called several media outlets in hopes of locating her daughter.
Clough had told the New Hampshire Sunday News she suspected her daughter might have headed to Manchester because she has friends there and "that's where she has gone in the past to get drugs." Mangold's father also lives in Manchester, Clough said
NOTE: Germaine Lawrence School – This is a residential school housing 35-40 adolescent girls who have experienced severe emotional and psychiatric trauma in their lives. The girls reside in neighborhood homes owned by the Germaine Lawrence School and attend school on the campus grounds. The average stay for a girl is 1–2 years.
