A 13-year-old girl who had been missing from Jersey City since Monday was found early this morning in Brooklyn after she called her mother from a payphone, the authorities here said.
The teenager left her house on Monday morning to walk to school but never arrived. Several hours later she began sending her mother text messages from her cell phone, claiming she had been adducted and was in danger.
The Jersey City Police Department, along with the New Jersey State Police and Hudson County Prosecutor's Office, had been conducting an around-the-clock search for the girl, relying on information relayed from cellular phone towers and three men with whom the police said she had a relationship.
At 1 a.m. Natasha called her mother from a payphone in Brooklyn saying she was safe but that two men had raped her, Chief Robert Troy of the Jersey City Police Department said.
She was taken to Bellevue Hospital for tests and her condition was not immediately available. Chief Troy said investigators were still trying to determine where Natasha had been since Monday and how she had got to Brooklyn.
The case had perplexed officials because in addition to the frightening messages sent to her mother, the girl was also sending more innocuous and friendly messages to friends.

Why was she sending "friendly" messages to her friends, at the same time?
I call BS on this story.I have a felling the girl is covering up something else entirely.
You don't think she went willingly?
Real story: girl played hooky...got in over her head...now tired of it...
Just my guess. This doesn't add up.
Most Freepers seem to think this was a hoax of some sort. I felt the same way from the beginning. Glad she's okay, though.
As this was developing, I was thinking her abducter was sending the text messages.
Yes, I'm glad to hear this. But something just doesn't sound right in this story. She gets abducted and is in a basement somewhere. She manages to keep her cell phone and is able to text message her parents. Just sounds like there is more to this story.
Bet cha 2 bucks it will eventually turn out that she ran off with a couple of guy to NY...the text messages and the rape charge will prove to be just covers for her litte escapade..
Bet cha 2 bucks
Yup...I'm thinking she went along for a ride....so to speak...on her own free will.
Yeah My BS METER pegged out too!
girl decided to run away from home and frolic with the boys..to cover it up she concocted this story of being raped to cover her no longer being a virgin (if she wasn't in the first place)..decided playtime was over..and thinks she'll be able to make the story stick under questioning..methinks she's gonna be in BIG trouble..
This is bizarre. Presuming that they were adults, what in the world is a 13-year-old doing in any sort of 'relationship' with three men??
I didn't think she went willingly. I guess my perception of a 13 year old girl is somewhat removed from reality.
I'm glad she's OK but I'm not sure I buy her story.
If this was a prank she needs to do at least 500 hours of community service..But the whole story seems strange.

I've raised a bunch of kids...I would rather raise twenty boys than one girl. Even the goods ones make you old.
Something just doesn't sound right with this story for sure.
