What has this kid been through the last 4 years

Thankfully she made it home safe.

Thankfully? Sounds like she wanted to leave, is happy, healthy and well cared for. We don't know what home life was like, and she walked into the police station to get herself off the missing persons list as shes not missing.

It also said they had a happy reunion but I was speaking generally in the sense that most of these stories don't have a happy outcome.

"emotionally overwhelming" isn't always happy.

Ya, I don't think she went "home". I think she ran away from an abusive home and then after she became a legal adult she went to a police station to let them know she was alive and ok. She likely waited so she could not be forced to go back to her parents.

She ran away at age 14. At 18 she went to the police station to clear her name from the missing persons list. They said she was healthy and in good spirits.
