CLEVELAND — A 13-year-old girl is missing after she apparently sneaked out of her house in the early morning hours on Thursday. The girl's mother said she had been hanging out with the "wrong type of friends" lately.
The teenager — Chantel Braxton — is about 5 feet 6 inches and 105 pounds. She has long braids. She was last seen on E. 115th Street in Cleveland. Her picture is above this article.
Braxton was recently pulled out of Patrick Henry School and placed into Iowa Maple Elementary. The teen reportedly resented the transfer and has been acting out, her mother told police, including several "disappearances."
