Don't expect Sheri Simonek to Facebook friend her new son-in-law.
The California woman received a message from her missing 15-year-old daughter via the social network with word that the teen was safe - but married, pregnant and living in Mexico.
"I believe she wants to come home, but she is scared for the man she is with now, thinking that he is going to go to jail," the stunned grandmother-to-be told ABC affiliate KERO-TV.
Alisa Wheeler vanished in June, with her family convinced she fled to Mexico with her adult boyfriend - who it turns out was married, according to Simonek.
The teenage girl split with the older man and, in an apparent act of self-preservation, began a relationship with a 23-year-old named Chino, Simonek said.
The Facebook message from Alisa said she was three months pregnant and living with Chino in Baja California. Simonek said a variety of legal questions had prevented law enforcement from going after the girl.
"She is 15 and she is legal in Mexico, and they assume that she went there willing and that's why they won't go down there and get her," Simonek told KERO-TV.
Alisa, who disappeared on June 21, has contacted her mother via Facebook twice since her shocking admission. Simonek says she's hopeful the dialogue will lead to a reunion.
The worried mom said she's even willing to pick up the tab for Chino and her daughter to return to the family home in Taft, Calif.
"If that's what makes her happy and for her to come home, I will help him," she said.
"Whatever I have to do to get his papers."
