A 12-year-old girl has been missing since yesterday afternoon after she left her Frisco charter school and never returned home, according to the Frisco Police Department. Laure Bloom was last seen wearing a blue shirt and brown pants or shorts, and police have asked the public for any information regarding her whereabouts under case number CFS 2026-00090492.
The department shared the missing person notification in a post on X, describing Bloom as a white female standing 4 feet 8 inches tall and weighing approximately 75 pounds, with curly brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses, according to Frisco Police. A notification flyer attached to that post, however, listed different figures for the girl, describing her as 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. Hoodline could not independently reconcile the discrepancy between the two descriptions, both of which came from the same department post.

Bloom was last seen leaving Leadership Prep School, a tuition-free public charter school with campuses at 8500 Teel Parkway and 8100 Teel Parkway in Denton County, per HAR.com. The school operates a K-5 elementary campus and a 6-12 secondary campus along Teel Parkway in Frisco.
How Frisco Police Are Handling the Search
Frisco spans both Denton and Collin counties, with emergency dispatch and public safety operations centralized through the Frisco Police Department. Anyone with information can reach the department's non-emergency line at 972-292-6010, text tips through its tip411 system by sending FRISCOPD to 847411, or submit information via the Frisco PD mobile app — though the department has emphasized that urgent reports involving Bloom's whereabouts should go through 911 or dispatch rather than online forms.
Texas law shapes much of how a case like this unfolds behind the scenes. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 63.00905, law enforcement agencies must enter a missing child's profile into the National Crime Information Center database and the state clearinghouse within two hours of receiving a report, according to FindLaw. That statutory clock likely explains why Frisco police moved quickly to assign a case number and publish a public alert the same day Bloom went missing.
Why an AMBER Alert Hasn't Been Issued
Some social media users have asked why a statewide AMBER Alert hasn't accompanied the search. Under Texas guidelines, AMBER Alerts require preliminary verification that a child under 17 has been abducted and faces imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death before broadcast systems can be activated, per the Texas Police Chiefs Association. Absent that verified threshold, cases like Bloom's are handled through department-issued alerts and public appeals rather than statewide broadcast systems.
The vast majority of missing-youth cases in Texas are ultimately classified as runaways. Texas recorded 28,229 missing child reports in 2025, with runaway cases accounting for 80% to 85% of all juvenile disappearances statewide, according to data compiled by the Texas Center for the Missing from the Texas Department of Public Safety Missing Persons Clearinghouse. Nationally, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children supported 32,167 missing child cases in 2025, with runaways making up 92% of reports and an overall resolution rate of 90%.
What Texas Law Says About Runaways
Under Texas Family Code § 51.03, running away is classified as conduct indicating a need for supervision rather than a criminal offense, which allows police to take a missing minor into protective custody without filing formal charges. Adults are not, however, free to shelter a runaway without consequence: intentionally harboring a runaway minor under 18 without notifying guardians or law enforcement is a Class A misdemeanor under Texas Penal Code § 25.06, punishable by up to a $4,000 fine and up to one year in jail.
Frisco has seen this kind of search resolve quickly before. In August, Frisco police located 13-year-old Jayden Sanchez safe after launching a public search under call-for-service number CFS 2026-00077676 following his disappearance from home, as Hoodline previously reported. Just weeks earlier, Aubrey police searched for a different missing 13-year-old boy in neighboring Denton County, a case that similarly drew on Texas runaway statutes and statewide missing-persons data.
No further details about Bloom's disappearance have been released as of Friday. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Frisco Police Department at 972-292-6010.
