LONDON -- A 15-year-old British girl is believed to have run away to France with her 30-year-old math teacher, ITV News reported.
Megan Stammers, of Eastbourne, England, was reported missing at about noon on Friday and police said they believed she had traveled from Dover, England, to Calais, France, that evening.
Police said later that she was believed to have left the country with Jeremy Forrest, 30, of Ringmer, near Lewes.
"Megan's family love her dearly and are all incredibly upset by her disappearance. They want her to come home as soon as possible. We need Megan or Jeremy to make contact with us to help us return her safely to her family,"?Chief Inspector Jason Tingley, of Sussex Police, said in a statement on its website Saturday.
Police said her family were due to appear at a press conference later Monday.
ITV News said a?blog posted on May 19 on Forrest's website, James Ayre Music,?talked about trying to deal with a ?moral dilemma.?
?And the?overiding?question it left me with was this: How do we, and how should we, define what is right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable???? the blog said, according to ITV News.
?I came to a few different conclusions, mainly that actually we get a lot of things wrong, but at the end of the day I was satisfied that if you can look yourself in the mirror and know that, under all the front, that you are a good person, that should have faith in your own judgement,? it added.
