Her name is Natalia Muoio. She goes to my school. I always see those things on Tumblr asking to reblog a missing person. I always feel terrible when I see them and i think ” I wish I would never have to do a missing person on Tumblr” Unfortunately, I have to. She lives in Plainview, New York on long Island. Please.She was last rumored to be seen at the Broadway mall in Hicksville, New York. I’m begging you. Reblog this. I just want her home safe. She has been missing for a week now. If you have ANY information, please call the numbers or tell me in my inbox! PLEASE!
Her distraught family is looking for clues to the 17-year-old’s whereabouts after she disappeared without a trace one week ago Wednesday.Nassau County Police say they are taking the matter seriously and are searching for the missing Plainview JFK junior. They have questioned several people but have not located the troubled Plainview youth.
“We want her to know there’s another choice, this isn’t what she has to do,” said Natalia’s mother, Diane Muoio who, with her sister, Patty Brick of Plainview, have been circulating fliers throughout the community and the high school. The fliers have gone viral in Plainview circles, on Facebook and other social media sites. They bear Natalia’s photo and physical description.
“We want her to know she can come home, no questions asked, and we’ll figure this all out together,” added Brick. “Just a phone call to her mother, just to let her know you’re alright. That all.”
The family has many reasons to be concerned. According to family members, they include:
- Natalia has experienced a difficult past-few months, hanging out with a new set of friends with their own troubled pasts. At least one friend was considerably older than the teen and exhibited domineering, manipulative behavior, family members said.
- Recently, Natalia has shown signs of an eating disorder. She is 5’3” and weighs less than 90 pounds. She had been prescribed anti-depressants.
- Most frightening is that, in recent weeks, she’s shown signs of physical abuse at the hands of another person, including bruises on her back, legs and face. There were at least two such reported incidents, family members said. When questioned by Plainview school authorities, medical personnel, and her family, Natalia denied being beaten and explained away the injuries.
Before further intervention could take place, Natalia wrote a note to her mother that she “wanted to try life on my own,” and left suddenly. She took important personal belongings with her, including her laptop.
She hasn’t been heard from since.

If you live on the island or anywhere in the area, you better fucking reblog this.Reblogging because I know a lot of people who follow me live in the area. Something like this is always awful, and it’s easy to just pretend it doesn’t matter because you don’t know them, but if you’re in the LI/NY/CT/NJ area you really should reblog this! You never know - someone has to be the one to save her life if she’s really in danger, and who’s to say it’s not going to be you?
