'At Risk' Livermore Teen Missing from Van Nuys

The teenager, who has ties to Union City and Livermore, left a facility in Van Nuys on March 17 and has not been seen since.

Amanda "Mandy" Nicole Crabb, 17, of Union City and Livermore has been missing from the Los Angeles area since last week, according to her father Tony Crabb.

Mandy was last seen at a treatment facility in Van Nuys on March 17.

Tony Crabb of Livermore, said his daughter, Mandy, left the facility in Los Angeles with another girl, who was from Compton. Crabb says the facility reported Mandy as missing to the Los Angeles Police Department.


Los Angeles Police officials confirmed on Wednesday that Mandy is listed as a missing juvenile.

Crabb says his daughter is listed as an "at risk" missing juvenile because she takes medication for a medical issue.

"I am not sure if Mandy will come back up this way or not," he said. "Her friends are up here and she has no friends down there that I know of."

Crabb says the family has been making pleas via social media to help spread the word about finding Mandy. He is hoping everyone in the Bay Area and in Los Angeles will help look for his daughter.

According to Crabb, Mandy was born and raised in Livermore, attending East Avenue Middle School and Livermore High School during her freshman year, until she and her mother moved to Union City, where she attended James Logan High School and eventually Conley-Caraballo High in Hayward.

Mandy is a white female with blond hair, green eyes and has a small scar on her lip and nose. She weighs about 140 pounds and is about 5'6. Mandy's date of birth is August 3, 1995.

Mandy is listed on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children database.

If you know of Mandy's whereabouts, her family is asking that you call the Livermore Police Department at 925-371-4900, the Los Angeles Police Department at 1-877-275-5273 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
