MISSING CHILD: JSO searching for Youth Crisis Center runaway

Jacksonville, FL — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s office is asking for your help finding a missing 11-year-old.

Addison Terry is described as 5’2”, 107 lbs., with blue eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt. JSO says Terry may be in the Orange Park area, or other parts of Clay County or Jacksonville.

Terry ran away from the Youth Crisis Center on Parental Home Road on the Southside last night, according to JSO. YCC’s website shows they provide short term crisis care, mental health counseling, skills-based group training, and transitional living services for children and families. YCC says they are a secure, gated facility that has security cameras and 24/7 staff supervision. They say there are protocols in place for when a young adult attempts to abscond, which involves using de-escalation techniques to try to get them to come back inside. Staff can only follow the youth to the property line and cannot physically engage, though, so if that child does run away, that’s when police are notified. YCC says everything was done properly by their staff in this case, however they are not commenting on the specifics of why Terry was with them or how specifically she ran off.

Youth in the facility receive food, therapy, school, family visits, recreation, and more. YCC says the average stay is 10-14 days.

If you have any information about her location, you’re asked to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
