An 11-year-old girl stole £6,300 of her grandmother's cash and set off on an 800-mile taxi ride to meet up with a boy she met while on holiday.
這名11歲的小女孩從她祖母那裏偷了6300鎊的現金,叫了一輛飛的驅車800英里去和她假日裏邂逅的一名男孩碰面。

Alexis Waller left her parents a note, telling them she had run away, before hitching a ride from her home in Arkansas.
亞歷克西斯·沃勒在搭車離開她阿肯色州的家裏前給父母留了張紙條,告訴他們她“逃跑了”。

She then got in a cab which took her on a £1,600 journey to Jacksonville in Florida, to see the boy she had met a couple of years earlier on vacation.

She told Arkansas Matters: "[The driver] didn’t really ask anything, he just asked me where I needed to go.
她敘述了阿肯色的這起事件:“司機真的什麼都沒問我,我就問了我需要去哪兒。

"I said: 'I need to go to Jacksonville, Florida'. He’s like: 'Do you have money', and I’m like: 'yes'."
“我說:‘我要去傑克遜維爾,在弗羅裏達。他就問:’你有錢嗎‘,然後我說:’有啊‘。”

Alexis was asked to pay £827 up front and would hand over the rest of the money when she arrived in Florida.
亞歷克西斯被要求預付827鎊,然後到了弗羅裏達後再付剩下的錢。

But her frantic parents had already contacted the police, who called the driver using her mobile phone records.
但是她驚慌的父母已經聯繫了警察,用她手機電話記錄聯繫了司機。

He stopped the cab nine hours away in Atlanta, Georgia, where Alexis' parents drove to pick her up.
他在9小時後在喬治亞州的亞特蘭大攔下了計程車,亞歷克西斯的父母驅車去接了她。

Alexis added: "I'm actually glad I got found. I knew I made a mistake after a while and I didn't have a phone."
亞歷克西斯又說道:“事實上我很高興我有錢。過了一會我意識到自己犯了錯誤,而且我沒有手機。”

Her father Brent said: "You have the rest of your life to punish her, and you just want to hug her and just love her because you got her back and that’s what’s important."
她的父親布倫特說:“你的餘生都可以去教訓她,但是當時你只想給她個擁抱,好好愛她因爲你把她找回來了,這是最重要的。”
