A teenage girl has been taken in by the Administration for Children's Services after she was found wandering Times Square with near-total amnesia around midnight on October 9th. The girl, who is probably between 14 and 17, is 5-foot-6, medium build, light complexion, short, with straight blonde hair and blue eyes. She has pretty much zero recollection of her past, and has said, "I just want to know who I am. I want to know who I am, and what happened to me." But there are only a couple obscure clues to her identity.
The young woman has written down the name "Amber" and responded to the name on one occasion, but she does not know if that's actually her name. She also recalled words from a fantasy novel called Fool's Fete by the author Robin Hobb. According to the Post, she has been writing her own fantasy fiction about a heroine named Rian "who’s been raised by the commander of the guard post on the edge of a fantasy kingdom."
A source tells the Daily News, "It looks like she's been walking around for a while. She's being treated as a runaway." Anyone with information is urged to call 1-800-577-TIPS, or log on to Crime Stoppers. Hopefully someone will come forward, and she won't wind up in advertising like Kermit did after getting amnesia in The Muppets Take Manhattan.

Does she have an accent? She looks like she's from the UK.
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.
dissociative fugue sometimes occurs after traveling to another country.
Yeah, but only on the flight home from Cancun.
Poor kid. Here's hoping everything works out for her.
Is she short, or is she 5'6?
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.
where are her parents? has the brilliant nypd thought to check missing persons reports?
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.
+1 for the Muppet reference.
i know her name, it's Joe Dirt.
Yikes guys. She's a missing child.
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!
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.
Look it's the hipster grifter only white.
it appears she might be special ed. doesnt look normal to me.
Stuart Little, is that you?
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

Anyone remember the Minnesota Strip?
Maybe she's trying to bring it back to the Deuce.
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?
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!
