Missing Aaliyah (13): Cologne police are asking for information!
Concern for Aaliyah Soraya K.'s well-being is growing. The 13-year-old teenager from Troisdorf is missing and the Cologne police have launched a comprehensive search for her. This reports Cologne City Gazette. Aaliyah was last seen on June 27th in Cologne-Porz. She had left a children's and youth education facility around 4:50 p.m. when she ran away during an accompanied exit. Since then there has been no trace of her.
The police have indications that the missing person may be using local and long-distance public transport. This is a cause for concern as Aaliyah is described as being 1.65 meters tall, with red hair and a strong figure. Officials have called for anyone to report information about the girl's whereabouts. This can be done by phone on 0221 229-0 or by email to poststelle.koeln@polizei.nrw.de. Pictures of Aaliyah have also been published on the NRW police website to support the search. Loud Cologne.de Investigators hope that witnesses who know something about their whereabouts will come forward.
Focus on juvenile crime
Another aspect that catches the public's attention is the discussion about youth crime, which is showing a worrying increase in Germany. In 2024, over 13,800 cases were registered, more than twice as many as in 2016 Statista communicates. Particularly in the context of Aaliyah's situation, it is important to think about the risk factors that often lie behind young people's behavior. Psychological stress, especially after the Corona measures, plays a role, as do family and social influences.
The debate about the criminal responsibility of children under 14 is gaining momentum when it comes to serious crimes. It is crucial to strengthen preventive measures in order to get children and young people on the right path. The high proportion of male suspects, which accounts for almost three quarters of juvenile crime, raises questions that should be discussed in society.
In this difficult and tense situation, there remains hope that Aaliyah will return safely soon. The police and relatives urgently ask for the public's help. In such situations, good cooperation can often be decisive and strengthen the community.
