Sanford police are searching for a Southern Lee High School student missing for nearly a week. 

Crystal Cherry, 16, was last seen around 8 p.m. Friday at her home on Courtland Drive. When her mother went to check on her about three hours later, the teen was gone along with some of her belongings. 

Family member said the teen had never done anything like this before.

Police say they have not issued an Amber Alert because there were no signs of foul play.

I know this family and I really hope this young laday is found safe and unharmed.I hope everyone would please put themselves in it this family shoes and please keep your negative comments to yourself. What if your daughter,sister,niece,cousin,friend or whatever was missing how would you feel. Just please be considerate of this family feelings. To the media please consider what you post!!!

Unfortunately, too many teens thing the grass looks greener on the other side. Their lack of maturity, lack of fear and/or sense that they shouldn't have to be honor their parents or be responsible around the home or school cause them to make bad decisions. Add negative peer pressure and you have problem. It's my opinion that law inforcement should make some effort to find a runaway teen. However, the kids can be very skillful at not being found. And in the end they HAVE to bear some responsibility for their actions. Sometimes it's the only way they will learn.

Having said that - IF this child is running away from an abusive or difficulty environment - that's a different story. Then she needs all the help the authorities can provide.

I hope she is found safe and everything works out for her and her family.

I HOPE EVERYONE WILL HAVE A BLESSED, HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR.

She's not missing...she is missed, that's all. SecurityConsultant

BE SENSIBLE WHEN MAKING COMMENTS. YOUR COMMENT IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. A YOUNG GIRL IS MISSING. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER, NEICE, OR COUSIN? REALLY, WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING ANYTHING NOW? ALL TALK AS USUAL.

She's not missing...she is missed, that's all.
