AMARILLO, TEXAS -- UPDATE: It turns out the girl was never actually missing. Amarillo Police tell us that she went to school for breakfast, and then left with her family. It was discovered that her siblings did not show up for class either, and the whole family was found at a clinic to receive medical care. The family is new to the country, and may not have known the proper procedure to let school officials know the girl would not be in class.

UPDATE: Pronews 7 has received a report that the child may have been picked up by her parents, but police are still trying to confirm that.

Amarillo Police are searching for the girl now, and we are awaiting more official information.

Scanner traffic says that she could be wearing a pink jacket and a pink backpack, and is possibly Burmese.

If you have any information please call Amarillo Police at 806-378-3038.
