Update: Brielle Morella turned up safe in Old City Philadelphia overnight.
-----------------
Authorities are seeking the public's help in finding a Pennsauken teenager who went missing while attending a concert in Camden on Friday.
Brielle Morella, 15, was last seen with a friend outside the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden around 4:30 p.m. Friday. She was attending a concert by rapper Wiz Khalifa when she and a friend became separated, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
Morella sent a text message to the friend around 8 p.m. Friday asking to be picked up in Camden, but her friend received no more information. Morella has not contacted anyone since, a spokesman for the prosecutor said late Saturday.
A Facebook group dedicated to finding Morella gained more than 800 followers less than two hours after it was created.
Anyone with any information on Morella's whereabouts is urged to contact the Pennsauken Police Department at 856-488-0080, ext. 2407. Information can also be emailed to ccpotips@ccprosecutor.org.

I really hope they find her. So sad. It's stuff like this that reinforces my over protective nature. Sometimes people tell me I am too protective- but no way my 15 year old is going to Camden by herself at night. Sorry- no way. This is why.

A majority of those living in Camden are good people but Camden is stuck on a downward spiral. The state can only spend so much to improve that city; now it must address crime by fixing the illegal drug problem. Perhaps legalizing certain drugs but carefully controlling who purchases them is the answer. That would eliminate the pushers and cut off the funding for gangs and crime lords. By controlling the sale of illegal drugs, you can reach out to addicts and help them recover.
Camden also needs strong leadership that unifies the people and motivates them to overcome their obstacles and become successful in their school, jobs, and families. It is up to the city to change people’s attitude.
It is time to think outside the box. If you do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.

little sick from the heat. ha! Who thinks she was sick from the heat? Not me.
She and her parents better wake up real quick, before it is to late. What do you think this girl was doing in Camden/Philly through the night? Obviously, she wasn't with friends trying to make herself a better person..

What the hell were the parents thinking by letting this 15 year old go to a concert in Camden? Or did they even know what she was up to,and why was it her friend's responsibility to pick this girl up and not her parents?
