A 12-year-old Brooklyn girl has been missing since Tuesday after running away from home, the girl’s distraught sister told the Post.
Tori Peroso was last seen leaving her home on Ocean Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens to head to Global Education Baccalaureate School in Queens around 6:50 a.m. Tuesday morning. That’s what it means.
When the school day ended, she left.
“When school was out, I would watch her through the air tag that Peroso had attached to his house keys,” she said.
“I could see her getting on the right train from school…and then I could see her going into town. And when she got there, I thought her air tag was going to take her down towards Brooklyn. I could see it moving up toward the Bronx.”
That’s when I realized she was going somewhere she at least wasn’t supposed to go,” Peroso said.
Peroso, who is also Tori’s legal guardian, said he confiscated Tori’s cellphone for texting an older boy the night before.
When Tori takes away her cell phone, she temporarily replaces it with a flip phone.
Shortly after I headed uptown, Tori stopped answering the phone and I haven’t heard from her since.
She called a close friend who helps Peroso raise the bird and tracked the air tag to 134th Street and St. Anne’s Avenue in the Bronx, but she was nowhere to be found.
Two hours later, the tracking device started working again and finally stopped at an apartment complex. When another friend went to investigate, he encountered an apologetic-looking man who picked up an air tag from the ground at the spot where it was last transmitted on 134th Street.
He said he had never seen Tori.
NYPD detectives contacted Peroso on Friday and said security cameras captured Tori boarding the N/R train at the NYU 8th Street subway stop near Astor Place in the East Village around 5:45 a.m. Thursday morning. I told them that there was.
“It took an incredible weight off my shoulders and the shoulders of my sisters who are watching with me here in town.” [for Tori]” Peroso said, adding that about 30 people volunteered to help create the canvas.
“I don’t want this moment to be the defining moment of her life because so many people are trying so hard to find her and she’s so loved. She’s such a wonderful child. “Yes,” she said.
In addition to Tori’s troubles the night before her disappearance, she is also troubled by the absence of her mother, who Peroso says she hasn’t heard from in two months.
“She’s a 12-year-old who has gone through a lot of loss, and I think she has a lot of support and mental health services and people who love her and support her, but in her 12-year-old heart, it just doesn’t feel like that. She ran away.”
Police said Tori was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweater with “Keith Haring” written in cursive, black and white striped pants, white Nike Air Force 1s and a pink LL Bean backpack. It is said that he was
A missing person poster shared online lists her as 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 160 pounds.
