This is just the tip of the iceberg of course. The time for being outraged is over. The time to demand action is here.
**Update 10/24 Tekenya has been found unharmed. But what 12 y.o. who's pregnant in this country is safe? I hope she knows that there are people who care about her well-being despite never having met her!!
