LORI MARIE RIVERA - 13 yo - Portland OR

PORTLAND -- The mother of a child in protective services custody who
went missing Tuesday wants to know how her daughter got out of a shelter
where she was staying.

Lori Marie Rivera, 13, went missing Tuesday afternoon with two 17-year-old girls from the Teen Connections shelter in Portland.

Terry Rivera, the girl's mother, said she was not notified her
daughter was missing until the day after, and said she has struggled to
get answers from Child Protective Services.

"You [CPS] promised you were going to put my children in a safe
place, and nothing was going to happen to them and she [CPS case
manager] told me, 'Well, we did try to put her in a safe place, but if
she ran away that was her own thing of running away,'" said Rivera.

Rivera said she lost custody of her daughter after a drug raid
involving her husband a few years ago. The girl has lived at the shelter
in Portland since November.

Portland police are investigating Rivera's disappearance as a
runaway. Child Protective Services has notified the appropriate courts
and the girl's attorney.

How ironic. The mother who was raising Lori in a drug house has the nerve to demand CPS guarantee her daughter is in a safe place and that nothing would happen to her. That's exactly what Lori had the right to expect from her parents and they failed her. It's their fault she's in that home so get down off the high horse and stop trying to blame CPS. If it weren't for lousy parents CPS wouldn't even exist.

PORTLAND -- Police are still searching for a 13-year old girl who
disappeared from the Child Protective Services shelter in Portland.

Lorie Marie Rivera's mother -- Terry -- told us her daughter went missing Tuesday afternoon along with two older girls.

Rivera said her daughter wouldn't leave the shelter -- she's been at since November -- without a reason.

But, detectives are investigating the girl's disappearance as a runaway.

Portland officers believe all three girls are somewhere in Texas.

Posters note: Further to my earlier comments, IMO Terry views her daughter's escape from CPS custody as a possible opportunity for compo. Lori was in their care because why? Oh that's right. Parents weren't providing a safe environment.
