Mystery Teen With Amnesia Searching For Her Family

Jeez, no one can get lost or have amnesia anymore. Everyone cries "hoax" - I guess we are cynical and we don't want to get "taken" by a prank. Hey! Maybe she's had plastic surgery to look like her own twin and she got kidnapped by pirates!

another +1 for the muppet reference

she's a lesbian from Maine, UK.

Look these things ALWAYS turn out to be hoaxes. Remember the piano player guy two years ago? Publicity stunt

Squirrel,

Was the piano player guy a hoax? I've always wondered about that, but nobody that I knows has ever heard of that story. Does anyone have a link to that being resolved?

Anyone remember the Minnesota Strip?

Maybe she's trying to bring it back to the Deuce.

times square is where all the mormons exile their outcast dykes to.

girl says shes 14 but the ACS/DailyNews says shes 14 to 20?

isnt there some medical test, dental work, tattoo search, cut her legs off and count the rings things before they actually go public with something that can cause embarassment. im sure theres something about documented amnesia that a professional knows just like people can fake movie symptoms of mental issues but cant fool a psychiartrist.

as a matter of fact the first result of googling

'faking amnesia' explains it all by breaking down the movie myth of memory loss

Stuart Little, is that you?

it appears she might be special ed. doesnt look normal to me.

Look it's the hipster grifter only white.

Yikes guys. She's a missing child.

SHE'S not missing. We know where she is. It's her family that's missing and perhaps isn't making a great effort to find her considering she was found two weeks ago. We're not even sure she's a child. Maybe she's 22.

And as horrible as that is, since none of us who comment here have the power to (a) restore her memory or (b) Vulcan mindmeld, we will instead try to make amusing comments in an effort to make us feel better about the fact that we still have our memories and know, for the most part, who we are. This is also known as coping with bad news.

Ah okay. I guess I need to lighten up!

i know her name, it's Joe Dirt.

+1 for the Muppet reference.

Teenager + Times Square at midnight + identity amnesia + fantasy fiction + media involvement = complete crock of s**t, in my unqualified opinion.

Balloon Boy is so last week. There's a new attention-seeking kid down the well.

where are her parents? has the brilliant nypd thought to check missing persons reports?

She was so annoying, her tour group ditched her at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory while they made a run for Madam Tussauds.

Funny.

I'm not sure of her name or where she's from, but I'm pretty sure she's a lesbian.

No, we're all pretty sure she's from the UK.

She looks like the child of Jon Cryer and Molly Ringwald.

More like John Cryo. He's way to gay to worm his way toward Molly's Ringwald.

Jon Cryer is not gay. I saw him and talked to him in NYC with his girlfriend. She was way friendlier then him though.

Is she short, or is she 5'6?

Poor kid. Here's hoping everything works out for her.

Does she have an accent? She looks like she's from the UK.

dissociative fugue sometimes occurs after traveling to another country.

Yeah, but only on the flight home from Cancun.

She looks like she's from the UK? Huh? What?

yeesh.

I was going to say she looks like she's from Maine.

Tell me you don't see the Austin Powers grill on that mug, and I'll tell you to hit up Cohen's for new glasses.
