Dallas County deputies search for runaway teenager
Published Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Lopez
VALLEY GRANDE — Saturday morning a mother in Valley Grande went into her daughter’s room and found out what she thought was her daughter sleeping in her bed was actually a long pillow covered up with a blanket and sheet.
“Sometime between 4 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Saturday, Cheyanne Lopez ran away from home,” Investigator Janet Cole said. “She left three notes — one to her mom, one to her mother’s boyfriend and one to her family.”
The three notes stated Lopez, 13, was going to live with a new family she met when the family moved to Valley Grande six months ago. But deputies and family believe Cheyanne went for another purpose.
“Cheyanne had been dating a boy and when her parents found out he was 21 years old, they cut off the relationship,” Cole said. “The Friday night before she went missing Cheyanne asked her mom if the boyfriend could stay the night. Her mother said she refused. The next day is when she ran away.”
Cheyanne contacted her mother Sunday and told her that she was OK and would be home Tuesday. But she did not come home.
Authorities said Cheyanne Lopez is 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. She has brown hair, brown eyes and is Hispanic. She attends Valley Grande Elementary.
Deputies ask anyone with any information regarding Cheyanne Lopez’s location or the events surrounding the incident to please call the Sheriff’s Department at 874-2578, Crime Stoppers at 877-3530 or 9-1-1.

I hope this young girl is found soon,she is headed down the wrong path. I ask where did she come into contact with a 21 year old,internet? These young people today should really stop and think before they jump head first into something. Listen to their parents,I never understand why the young think their parents wouldnt understand please we have all in these young children's shoes at one time of our lives. Most parents only want what is good for their children for them to be safe and happy.

I hope they find this young lady and do something about that the so called boyfriend. He is 21 and has no business being with a 13 year old. The sheriff's department needs to lock him up and throw away the key. This is so sad.

We, as concerned parents, cannot help find this young lady if we do not have a name to the young man she was dating. This would help the community search more and maybe help find her. If someone knows his name, please state it so we can help.

My 13 year old child is not going to be dating anyone. This guy was coming over to her house to see her. At 13 my mom wouldn't even allow me to talk on the phone to a boy.
Parents need to step up and put some FEAR in there kids. If a child find out his parents are weak...they are going to run all over there parents. Be the Parent and not the child!!!! Don't allow your kids to tell you what to do!!! If you do you are headed for trouble. Somewhere down the line this child parents went wrong....I dare my 3 kids to run away from home at 13. Parents you need to put that belt or switch on that backside ....you won't have no problems out of your kids!!! Long as you whip them on that backside the police is not going to bother you. Hit them where they got to sit down on and they will always remember it hurts.

It didn't even cross my mind to think of dating males at that age . I was still playing with barbie dolls LOL. Children need wayyyyyy more supervision in present day society It's a lot more trouble to get into at this present time . The grown man should be arrested . He has no business being involved with this girl . Some people don't have any morals nor do they care what they do .

There is always more to the story than what is going to be released in the paper and I think it should be kept that way. We as outsiders not knowing the whole situation can't pass judgement. If something were to happen to my girls I wouldn't want our personal business spread in the newspaper. The people that needs to know the details more than likely already do and they are taking care of it.From what had been printed in the paper though, I do hope who needs to be punished is, and the family of the young teen gets some family counseling to help with parenting and communication.

I feel very sorry for the parents of this girl. No matter how they may or may not have went wrong, they are most likely worried and suffering right now so my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Sometimes, even if a parent does right, these things can happen, I do not know this case so I could not say one way or the other, but I agree that this 21 y.o. has no business being involved with a 13 y.o. girl. I hope my kids never go down this path and I hope that I am doing and will continue to do a great job as a parent. That being said, if this tragedy does happen with my kids, I do hope people will at least wait until my child is found BEFORE they start pointing fingers at me or at my family! Keep your focus people and help find this girl first!
