🚨 14 year old Esther “Esti” has been missing from Toronto for over a week.
Her family asked Global News to re-share this clip from last year because they hope someone recognizes her face, her voice, or remembers an interaction that didn’t seem important at the time.
Watching it is honestly devastating. She comes across as bright, warm, articulate, and genuinely sweet. Her parents describe her as extremely intelligent, deeply caring, and trusting. Esti is on the autism spectrum and her family is terrified that someone may have taken advantage of that.
She was last seen late Friday night on May 15 near Earl Bales Park in North York. Police later released security footage appearing to show her in a restaurant shortly after midnight. Toronto Police launched a Level 1 search, the highest level search operation available, involving multiple specialized units.
She’s 5’2 with brown hair and was last seen wearing a turquoise sweater with writing on the front and grey sweatpants. Police say she was not wearing shoes.
If you are in the Toronto area, please look at her face carefully and share this as widely as possible.
Let's find Esti!
@TurtleSprints@csmyers111@nnamlhab I am so sorry to hear this. I was so happy you had the courage to follow through. I can only imagine any normal person would be delighted to make a new friend. Ignore the hate. Keep enjoying good company!
We are disappointed by the vote in the House of Commons regarding Bill C-242 ‘Jail Not Bail’ but we are hopeful the federal Liberals under PM Carney will do the right thing and step up with their own legislation. It doesn’t matter how this gets done, it just needs to be done now. We have made recommendations, in person and in writing, we have presented at Standing Committees and we have made public pleas for change that will keep our members and communities safe. This is not time for politics. It’s time to get it done. Our members and the public deserve better.

Crime is out of control in this country and our Federal government and even our justice system thinks there isn’t a problem. Meanwhile, more than half of Canadians no longer feel safe in their neighbourhoods, poll finds. https://t.co/3dbc0iagVc

It has become, in fact, the Wild West.
Why hasn’t parliament been recalled in Canada?
They all just got another massive pay raise to take 5 months off? This government has become such a joke it’s disheartening for the future of Canada.
Oliver Bonk put his Instagram on private after being attacked by Canada fans for a play that wasn’t even his fault.
Bonk’s shown how open he is about his mental health and for grown adults to attack a kid playing in a hockey tournament for teenagers is sick and disturbing.
With all the high-end auto thefts in Toronto this Range Rover owner in an upscale neighbourhood has invested a few thousand in retractable steel bollards to deter even the most determine crooks. They’ll find another mark. #Toronto
