Missing child: 11-year-old Mia Thompson, pink backpack
Description
I lost my daughter, Mia Thompson, yesterday around 4:30pm. She's eleven, about 4 feet 9 inches with curly black hair and olive skin. She was wearing a red hoodie with a white star, blue jeans, and bright pink backpack with a small unicorn keychain. She has a tiny heart-shaped birthmark on her left cheek and wears a silver bracelet with a heart charm. Last seen near the Battleground Avenue and Lawndale Drive intersection in Greensboro, NC, near the gas station by the corner, then heading toward the Four Seasons Town Centre. I am really worried—she's shy and tends to follow directions from strangers, so if you see her please message me here and I will meet you right away. She might be nervous and lonely; any info helps.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
