COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — The family of 16-year-old Madison Fields is pleading for information on her whereabouts after she went missing six days ago.
The Colerain Township Police Department issued an Endangered Child Alert for Fields Friday night.
Fields' father, Tyler Hirn, said his daughter was last seen around 4 p.m. on Feb. 13.
Hirn said she left the InTown Suites in Colerain Township, where her family is staying, to meet up with a boy she met online.
"She was supposed to meet a boy named Josh, who was 18, is what her sister said," Hirn said.
Hirn said Fields had been messaging the boy on an app called Sessions. He said it is an app that deletes messages after they have been sent.

"We can not get ahold of her," Hirn said.

"Anything helps," Hirn said. "Everything helps."

"I won't stop until we find her," Hirn said.
