A 17-year-old high school student has gone missing in Ocoee, Florida.

Police are now asking for the public’s help in locating her.

Kaylee Posey left her home for Ocoee High Schoo on Jan. 15 but never arrived.

Family members and friends have been searching for her ever since, and authorities thought it was time to send out a nationwide alert.

“We have been disseminating images of the child to the public, like in this case, the public awareness part of our work is extremely important, that’s one of our most powerful tools when it comes to missing children, making the public the eyes and ears of law enforcement,” Robert Lowery with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children told Fox35.

Ocoee Police Lt. Mike Bryant said he believes Posey ran away, but she could unknowingly be in danger.
