From earlier:

Police are investigating the disappearance of a 13-year-old from Woonsocket.

The girl was last seen on Tuesday afternoon and her mother, Jessica McDermott, is worried sick.

McDermott said Thursday that her daughter left the house after an argument over a cell phone and just wants her to come home safely.

“She was in my bedroom yelling at me, and then my one-year-old started crying, and before I could finish changing his diaper, she was gone,” McDermott said.

McDermott filed a missing persons report and has been getting drips and drabs of information from children and classmates of her daughter, and the information she’s recieved is extremely troubling.

McDermott said that two girls who were with her daughter sent her Facebook messages over the past few days taunting her, saying “how does it feel” that she can’t locate her daughter.

Those girls reportedly came home Wednesday night after spending time in Connecticut, McDermott said, and they had with them a wad of cash.

“They have $1,000 on them and I don’t know where my daughter is,” McDemott said. ”I’m freaking out, I have no idea where she is. She’s 13 — a teeny tiny little Irish child, she’s not big and tough and has no street smarts.”

McDermott said that she heard through the grapevine that her daughter was dropped off at a Motel 6 in Warwick.

McDermott also said that one of her daughter’s friends is friends with a woman who “took over” for “those guys at Motel 6 who were buying children” but got arrested in a recent sting.

McDermott said that “none of this is confirmed” but she has told all this to police.
