Taunton Mayor Shaunna O’Connell’s 18-year-old daughter, who went missing from an Ohio mental health facility last week, was found safe on Sunday.
Riley O’Connell went missing early Wednesday morning in Hilliard, Ohio, where she was receiving treatment for mental health issues at Evoke Wellness Center, her mother said in a statement last week.
“She just took off from the facility without any money or phone, and she does not have any medication,” the mayor told Boston.com on Wednesday. “She is on medication for her mental health issues and she needs her medication.”
