A 14-year-old girl is back with her family after making a dramatic escape from kidnappers who snatched her on her way to school almost a week earlier.
The girl, whose identity must be withheld because of her age, was last seen leaving her home at around 7.20am on May 17, wearing her school uniform.
Last night, family members of the high school senior, who is the oldest girl of five siblings, were overcome with emotion at her return.
