BSB APPEAL FOR FAN TO COME HOME

Thirteen-year-old fan's parents ask pop idols to appeal for her to return...

BACKSTREET BOYS have appealed for a teenage fan who has gone missing to contact her parents.

According to reports in the Observer newspaper in the UK today (February 18), the band made the appeal after being contacted by 13-year-old Michaela Montague's mother.

The girl's parents fear she may have struck up a relationship with a man via an Internet chat room. She vanished from her home in Southampton on Valentine's Day after visiting an Internet cafe.

Her mother, Sasha said: "The Backstreet Boys are Michaela's favourite band and they have made an appeal for her to come home."
