    Missing child...maybe we can help in this one

    hello all,

    I found this link on the AOA website. I figured that maybe optiboard may help get the word out.

    http://www.aoanews.org/x7916.xml

    the crux of the story is:

    Authorities in Maine are seeking information about a girl, between 3 and 6 years old, who appears in photos on the Internet that indicate sexual abuse. She has a rare eye condition, acquired heterochromia, with a blue right iris and green left iris. She has been confirmed as a missing person, and is believed to be in the eastern United States. She has eyeglasses, and thus most likely has been a patient of an eye care provider. One lens is etched with the letters "MS" and the frames are Disney Eyewear 187 from Marchon.

    Pass it around, the more exposure this has, the more likely someone can recognize the glasses or the child.

    I "stuck' this thread to keep it at the top. If you get further information let me know so I can pull it down.

    Hey Aarlan this is not the place to find her. Check out some other places to find her. Because in this way you won't be able to get her. If some one really wants some thing like this, than professional detective should be hires, if its that important to find her....

    Perhaps you should tell that to the AOA. It was on their website that I found it, I was simply trying to help them to reach a wider audience than their web page alone could. Between ODwire and here there have been thousands of ODs and Opticians that saw the story that wouldn't have otherwise. I
