Breaking: Scout Alive and well

From Reuters:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Teen actress Scout Taylor-Compton, who disappeared from her home more than two weeks ago, has been found at a friend's house, police said on Thursday.

Taylor-Compton, 16, star of the 2004 teen comedy "Sleepover," was last seen at her home in the Southern California community of Apple Valley on August 12 and was considered a runaway.

"We received a tip from the Apple Valley School Police that she was at a house in Apple Valley," San Bernardino County Sheriff's spokeswoman Robin Haynal said. "We sent a deputy over there, picked her up and took her to the station."

Haynal said Taylor-Compton, who lives with her father and stepmother, apparently left after a family disagreement. She was in good condition and cooperated with police.

"She was a runaway juvenile. She just didn't want to be found," Haynal said. "She hasn't been harmed at all and she appears to be fine."

Taylor-Compton's publicist said she had no further information on the young performer, who has also appeared in "Gilmore Girls" and "Hidden Howie" and worked in independent films and music videos.

I'm pleased to hear that she is okay. I'm gonna leave it at that for now as I had feared the worse.
