Girl found in N.Y. claims no memory - CNN.com

Interesting read. It is almost like something out of a book or a movie. The writing on her arm strikes me as really strange.

Crap, can someone alter the thread title? I was going to type no memory, but decided on using amnesia. Apparently, I need to proof read my own writing.

it's the amnesia story again..usually they are just afraid of their parents because they overstayed a party they weren't allowed to attend.

So they get their picture plastered everywhere so that said angry parents could assume something really bad happened that caused amnesia? Doesn't sound like a good solution.

Very likely for someone who “appears to have been living on the streets for some time“, yeah.

That could just mean she plays D&D.
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction
with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the
moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the
neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"

Doesn't seem terribly interesting of a story.

Hallmark has already released a documentary.

If you replace the girl with some toothless old bum with the same problem nobody would even care.

Lets just say her name is Suzy and she did too much cocaine after she ran away from home and lost her memory. Fascinating story.

If that not exciting enough lets say aliens did it.

Hope it works out for her.
