And Again....

...a missing returns home under their own power:

• A fight with her mother caused a teen to run away from home this week, but she has been located safe, Chicago police said tonight.

  On Friday police released an alert asking the public's help in finding a 14-year-old girl missing from the South Side.

Family fight. Kid runs away. An alert is released, wasting valuable police resources, media air time and dulling the public's appetite to assist in legit cases.

Can we stop the overwrought overreactions yet?
