ETA: Chelsea was found around 6:30pm EDT and is safe in police custody, according to Rosie on facebook. I'm so glad!
From CNN
(CNN)—Rosie O'Donnell issued a plea for help Tuesday in finding her daughter Chelsea O'Donnell, who ran away from home and was last seen by her family on August 11, a family spokeswoman said.
The 17-year-old left home with her 6-month-old therapy dog, a black terrier named Bear, O'Donnell said in a statement on her website Tuesday. She had stopped taking medication for an undisclosed mental illness and "is in need of medical attention," the statement said.
"Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness," family spokeswoman Cindi Berger said. "It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family, and they just want her back safe."
O'Donnell also shared the information from her social media accounts with pictures of her daughter with her dog. She was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, dark ripped blue jeans, gray Converse sneakers and a black backpack. She has no phone and no money, according to Berger.
The family contacted South Nyack Police in upstate New York on Sunday to report that Chelsea had not returned home, Sgt Daniel Wilson said.
The family told police they had not seen her since August 11, but they had been in contact with her, Wilson said. Berger, however, denied that the family had been in contact with Chelsea since they'd seen her on August 11.
Police have not officially classified her as "missing," but the investigation continues, he said. Police have no information about the dog or the medication that O'Donnell referred to in her statement. __________________________________________
As the mom of a mentally ill daughter I cannot imagine the heartbreak she's going through right now. I know a lot of you here don't like her but no mother deserves this. I really hope going to the media helps to find her as soon as possible.

I'm not a Rosie fan; however, a mother's daughter is missing. I cannot imagine her worry and panic. Praying her daughter is found soon.

Prayers for Rosie and Kelly, and their family. I can't imagine what they are going through. May God keep Chelsea safe until she is found.

I am really tired of police not taking family reports of missing 17yr olds seriously. If they say she is missing... She is missing. We don't know all the facts. Maybe Rosie wanted to use a private investigator first to avoid public embarrassment for her child. Maybe the police were looking for her immediately but didn't officially classify her as missing for the same reason.

I saw in Google that Chelsea's birth mother went public in March to say that baby Chelsea was stolen from her when she was born. This is a drug addicted woman who went to the National Enquirer with this information before contacting the family. I can't imagine that this kind of crap was easy to deal with in Chelsea's situation. Nat'l Enquirer: Rosie O'Donnell stole my baby

That has to be so scary not knowing where you child is...especially if she is in need of medical attention. I hope and pray they find her soon.

It's scary that she has no money but has a dog with her. How is she feeding that dog? I'm concerned for the girl too of course. I hope they find her soon. You'd think that Rosie could afford to hire whatever kind of investigator it takes to locate the girl. So sad.
