Missed Aaliyah (13): Cologne police asks for clues!

Köln-Porz, Deutschland - The concern for the well -being of Aaliyah Soraya K. is growing. The 13-year-old youth from Troisdorf is missing and the Cologne police have started a comprehensive search for her. This reports Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger . Most recently, Aaliyah was seen in Cologne-Porz on June 27th. At around 4:50 p.m. she had left a child and youth pedagogical facility when she ran away during an accompanied exit. Since then there has been no trace of it.

The police have indications that the missing person may use public local and long-distance transport. This gives rise to concern, because Aaliyah is described as 1.65 meters tall, with red hair and strong figure. The officials have called for information on reporting on the girl's whereabouts. This can be done by phone at 0221 229-0 or by email to poststelle.koeln@polizei.nrw.de. In addition, pictures of Aaliyah have been published on the NRW police website to support the search. According to Köln.de Hoffen that witnesses report something about their place of stay know.

youth crime in focus

Another aspect that catches the eye of the public is the discussion about youth crime, which shows a worrying increase in Germany. In 2024 over 13,800 cases were registered, more than twice as many as in 2016, such as Statista . Especially in the context of Aaliyah's situation, it is important to think about the risk factors that are often behind the behavior of young people. Psychological stress, especially after the Corona measures, play a role, as well as family and social influences.

The debate about the penalty of children under the age of 14 is gaining driving when it comes to serious crimes. It is crucial to strengthen preventive measures to get children and young people on the right track. The high proportion of male suspects, which makes up almost three quarters of youth crime, raises questions that should be discussed in society.

In this difficult and tense situation, the hope remains that Aaliyah will return safely soon. The police and relatives urge the population to ask. Good cooperation can often be decisive in such situations and strengthen the community.
