CARROLTON, GEORGIA: Kaylee Jones, a 16-year-old Georgia teen, has been missing since June 14, 2022. The parents of the teen now fear that their daughter might have fallen into the trap of the wrong people, who are into sex trafficking.
The teen was last seen at her home in the rural area of Whooping Creek Church Road in Carrollton, Georgia, on June 14 at around 11 pm. Kaylee's parents, Daniel and Brenda Jones, said that they saw her last when they said goodnight to her. And the next morning she went missing from her room. CBS46 quoted the missing teen's father as saying, "I was here at work - my wife called me about 7:15 am and she said Kaylee was gone." He said, "It’s gut-wrenching, knowing she’s out there somewhere and not knowing where she’s at. All the worst thoughts come to our minds. She is our daughter and we desperately want her back. She is a big huge part of us."

As per the father, his wife found out that Kaylee, who is autistic, was talking to four or five guys via Snapchat. According to DailyMail, the teen is believed to have climbed out of the window from the second floor. Moreover, she had no cellphone as her parents took away the phone days before she went missing. The father said, "You never think it’s going to happen to you. I tried to run this and enforce this and re-enforce this in her mind that she cannot trust everybody that she sees. They prey on these kids. And it’s sickening, but it’s a reality. And all we can do as parents is train our kids."
In an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta, her mother Brenda said, “It's horrible. We're worried. Scared about where she might be. She's very loving, very kind, and overly sensitive." Adding further, “She was groomed online. We think she's a victim of sex trafficking.” “She's susceptible, kind of naive to this stuff," continued the father.
