CARTHAGE, Miss.–A girl who had run away from home in Scott County was found Saturday night in Carthage.
The 15-year-old, who left home Saturday on the Scott-Newton County line, was the subject of a BOLO or “Be On the LookOut” by law enforcement.
She was spotted first at the McDonald’s in Carthage, then at the Walmart.
Shortly before 8;30 someone called Carthage Police and said someone who matched the girl’s descripton was leaving Walmart and headed for the woods.
Once police arrived at 8:30, they found the girl near the front entrance of the store and held her for her mother, who drove there from Scott County to pick her up.

September 22, 2025 at 9:17 amI ran away from home when I was 19 and stupid because looking back on it anyone could have picked me up ,or said they were going to give me a ride home, accept didn’t get the ride home,I’m 60 and now and thank GOD that i myself was found by Freeport Police, I called Dad he said keep him there until I get there ,boy was i ever glad to see my Dad , TOO: the 15 year old just be glad that you were found and your mom was called,also be greatful that you are home with your mom, think back on why you ran away then ask yourself was running away from home worth it , sure we when we’re young we don’t think like an adult does so if you have any brother’s or Sister’s that are young talk too them , tell them that if they ever need someone to talk too that they can count on there mom , because anyone could have picked you up and took you some place and r***d you then your mom would have gotten a phone call from the hospital so think about what you are going too do and if your not sure ask your mom because they can be very helpful
