Claire Paula Thomas, the mother of missing teen Summer Glo Lake has issued a strong message to the individual who has been hiding her daughter: Let Her Go.

According to police reports, the 13-year-old reportedly left her parents’ home on Saturday, August 5, sometime after 8 pm, to visit a relative in the village and has not been seen since.

Likening the past couple of days to “hell,” Thomas said that since Summer disappeared, eating and sleeping have been difficult.

Thomas wants her daughter to return home safely.

“I really pray and hope the police find those harboring these children. It is really wrong and not the right thing to do. They need to let my daughter go,” she added.

Many teens have gone missing in the past but returned home days later. Summer’s mother is unaware she has a boyfriend or would be at any man’s home.

Young Summer was last seen wearing short black pants and a black blouse

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Parham Police Station at 463-2060.
