Was checking on my dad today, who lives out in the country along Hwy 95. Nearest town is about six miles away. I'm pulling out of his driveway and approach the busy hwy and see a young girl, 13-16yrs old, walking along the shoulder.
She is wearing shorts, flip flops, and has a blanket wrapped around her. Weird.
She sees me coming up the drive and stops nervously along the shoulder. I stop about ten feet from the road and roll down the window. She keeps walking and as she approached the drive, I ask if she's alright or needs help. She starts running across the driveway entrance and doesn't respond.
She stops running about 50' later and keeps walking down the highway.
I called the sheriff's office and told them what I saw. They said they would send a deputy out to make contact with her. So I sat and watched her keep walking down the highway and pass the next house down the road, about a 1/4 mile away.
Pulled out and drove back into town and passed her, still walking clutching the blanket.
Called my brother when I got into town to see what came of it. He is a Detective with the Sheriff's office and said all he could confirm was that she was picked up by a deputy and driven to her mom's house in Viola, which is a small town another 12 miles down the road.
Weird.
Would you have called the cops? Or just minded your own business and went on your way after she refused your offer of help?
