Cops seeking troubled teen runaway
(CNS): A teenage girl who is under a care order has been missing for almost one week, the police have revealed. An RCIPS spokesperson said they need the public’s help finding 16-year-old (Brina) Kimberly Dilbert, who has not been seen since 20 May, when she left school but did not return to Francis Bodden Girls’ Home, where she is currently a resident.
Kimberly left school on Wednesday and was last seen in the Walker’s Road area wearing her John Gray High School uniform — a grey skirt and white blouse. She has a light brown complexion, blue eyes, dark brown curly hair and is about 5ft 3in tall.
Police said they have been making repeated enquiries into her whereabouts and are concerned about her welfare and safety.
“Police take these incidents serious and warn that Kimberly is under a care order and under the Children’s Law anyone who keeps, induces, assist, incites to run away or to stay away from the ‘responsible person’ commits an offence and upon summary conviction is liable to a term of imprisonment, a fine or both,” the RCIPS said in a release.
Anyone who has any information of Kimberly’s whereabouts is asked to contact 911 or the Bodden Town or George Town police stations.

Again, we are left in amazed wonderment as to why and how it should take our 407 “serious” RCIPS employees close to a week to report this disappearance to the wider community? An AMBER Alert or Child Abduction Emergency in any civilized place should be 24 hrs. The team leader on this project should be called back to the boardroom…
But yet again when the American 16 year old tourist went missing it was on the news the same day and she was also found the same day!
That is the outcome everybody should want concerning a missing minor under 18. American, Caymanian, Honduran, shouldn’t matter. A passport shouldn’t have any bearing on a child’s worth – and Francis Bodden and RCIPS are not legally at liberty to create their own leisurely timeline on these matters. The Cayman Islands are part of the International AMBER program as a territory of the UK.
Poor thing. It seems she has not been dealt the best hand. I hope she comes back safe and sound. No family, that must be tough.
