An Atlantic City teen missing since Thursday was found in Pleasantville.

Vanessa Raske, who turns 16 next week, left home on North Tennessee Avenue at about 7 p.m. Thursday, according to her father.

The two had argued over issues including content on her Instagram and the people she was associating with, Raymond Wright said.

Police confirmed the father reported Vanessa missing.

Vanessa has runaway before. In 2020, when she was 11, police put out a flyer looking for the girl. She was later found safe.

Shortly after BreakingAC reported the girl was missing, police received a call of her exact location, Wright said. He was on his was to Pleasantville to pick her up.

Wright said he is trying to find out where his daughter was staying, concerned that an adult or adults were keeping a juvenile at their home without checking with a parent.
