Three girls have been reported missing after disappearing from a behavioral health center in Virginia.
Police said three girls — identified as Forever Scott, 12, Joseline Krofec, 14, and Darsha McAllister, 16 — have been missing since Sunday, Jan. 18, according to CBS affiliate WTKR and NBC affiliate WAVY.
The group was last seen around 7:30 a.m. local time on Sunday in the area of Fort Lane in Portsmouth, according to the Portsmouth Police Department.
CEO Freddie Anderson confirmed to WAVY that the girls were all residents of Harbor Point Behavioral Health Center.
“Our team responded immediately by informing local law enforcement and the patients’ guardians, and we are cooperating fully with the Portsmouth Police Department as they work to safely locate these individuals,” Anderson said in a statement.
Tammy Krofek, Joseline’s grandmother and legal guardian, told WTKR that she believes Joseline may have tried to contact her through private or blocked phone numbers.
However, she alleged that Harbor Point didn’t contact her following her granddaughter’s disappearance — and that since she didn’t know her granddaughter was missing, she didn’t pick up.
“Had they called me when she disappeared, I would have answered those calls,” Tammy said during an interview with WTKR.
Tammy also told the outlet that Joseline previously ran away on New Year’s Eve, but returned after a few hours.
“I just want her home, and I want her safe,” Tammy told the news station.
Authorities described Joseline as a White girl who is 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 129 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair, according to WAVY. She was last seen wearing black pajamas.
Meanwhile, Scott, a Black girl who was last seen wearing navy blue pants and a Jordan brand shirt, is described as being 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 129 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair worn in two cornrows.
McAllister, described as Black girl with brown eyes and orange hair who is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 188 lbs., was last seen wearing pink pajama pants and a tan shirt with the word “California” printed on it.
