DELAND, FL A Florida deputy rescued a 13-year-old girl from a motel room where she was with a 22-year-old she met online.
The teen s grandmother reported her missing after she failed to come home after school Thursday. The girl missed her basketball game and had not been seen since classes dismissed.
The girl s friend told investigators that she had recently talked about meeting an older boy that she had met online.
That comes just days after a Pennsylvania man chatted with at least 10 students through their school-issued computers. He eventually abducted a 14-year-old from North Carolina. Law enforcement tracked him and the teen down in Arkansas, where the kidnapper died in a shootout with police.
