A teenage girl is missing from a secure care home for young people in Renfrewshire.
Jordann Webb, 17, did not return to the Good Shepherd Centre in Bishopton after she left to go to a work placement on Tuesday February 13.
An appeal by police, launched last night, stated that staff at the centre spoke to Webb on the phone on Tuesday and the teenager said she was going to visit a friend in Greenock.
Jordann is described as white, 5 foot 2 inches tall, of slim build with long brown hair. She was last seen wearing black jeans, a grey Adidas hooded top and had a pink Puma bag with her.
Sergeant David Edington, Johnstone Police Station, said the teenager has been “dealing with some personal issues recently and this may have something to do with why she has not come home”.
Staff at the Good Shepherd Centre were criticised in 2012 over the deaths of two residents aged 15 and 14 who fell to their deaths from the nearby Erskine Bridge. A sheriff said more staff should have been on duty and the girls should not have stayed near an unalarmed exit.
Anyone with any information about Jordann Webb should call police on 101 and quote incident number 3196 of Tuesday February 13.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
