SAPD wants to remind you that harboring a runaway child is a criminal offense.
A person commits an offense if he knowingly harbors a child & is criminally negligent about whether the child:
- is younger than 18 years
- has escaped from the custody of a peace officer, a probation officer, the Texas Youth Council, or a detention facility for children, or is voluntarily absent from the child's home without the consent of the child's parent or guardian for a substantial length of time or without the intent to return. This offense is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $4,000 and/or confinement in jail for up to a year.
If you have seen Bella, or know where she might be, please contact the San Antonio Police Departments Missing Person Unit at (210) 207-7660.
