BRASILIA, Brazil — A 17-year-old Oregon exchange student missing since last weekend was found safe Thursday in northeastern Brazil, ending an intense search by Brazilian authorities and the U.S. Embassy.

Mykensie Martin arrived at a police station in the coastal city of Salvador, about 690 miles northeast of Brazil's capital, Brasilia, said Lt. Alexandre Silva of the federal police in the state of Bahia.

She was accompanied to the police station by a young Brazilian from Salvador identified as Marcos Alves, a waiter at a beachside restaurant. The two arrived holding hands and stayed arm in arm at the police station as a swarm of photographers snapped pictures.

Yep. They have probably been literally sick with worry as any good parent would be.

I read this morning that her parents flew down to Brazil before the girl had been found. Those tickets were sure to be really inexpensive!

One less missing white girl story for Rita, Greta and Joe Scarborough. What will the cable nets do in the wee hours?

I personaly do not think any activity between youths within 3 years of one another should be a crime as long as it is consentual.

No, no, no, don't send the mother. Send the child.
The fear an dread of having to fetch your own switch is worse then the switches work, and lessen the need of the actual switching.

Sounds like she's been making the rounds. She gets a strange man to pay for her hotel on Sunday then on Tuesday she is supposedly rescued from robbers by another guy, stays with her rescuer for a couple of nights and shows up with him on Thursday. (But they're "just friends".)

If I were her parents, I would bring her home and cut off her travelling allowance.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT bring back a little twig, either. Learned my lesson on that one.
