Wow........this is unbelievable....the police have called it off. How can they? I mean I am not sure how this goes but that's it...I mean she is still NOt found and it's called off......wow!!! My prayers go out to the family......

[Raj Mohan]

It is a shame for the police and coast guard to give up. This is not human like. What if this was their daughter or the president of united states? My prayers are with Mr. Khan's family. I wish them miracle.

[Nap]

I'm sure if she was blonde with blue eyes they would continue... they are in my prayers.

[Questioning]

They did not say the investigation was over just the water search. Might be more to this story.

[Chris]

Prayers go out for that little missing angel. I hope nobody gives up looking for her. Think about if it was one of their children. God Bless her and her family!

[Tori lackey]

[Ahmad]

Our prayers are with khan's family

amaris diaz;

Darling, I am so sorry for your loss of a classmate. I am not trying to be mean about her going. I think grownups should look out for their children. It makes me angry when they don't think. We expect children to think, and yell at them if they do something stupid.

I am yelling at a grownup, who should have known not to let a little girl onto a big lake by herself. Her dad should have made sure she was safe.

[Anais gonzalez]

That was my school mate too. My prayers are with her and her family. She was a very young and active girl. Thank you for telling me Amaris. St. Helen school will pray for her.

[Anais gonzalez]

I am so sorry for your family Noah. God will help us find her.

Who lives on Lake Michigan and does not know what it is? This is NOT an inland lake. It is cruel and has taken ships (never-mind unattended children in a Kayak). This sounds cruel; but it's called culling of the stupid. The blood-line should not be continued. The parents are obviously dense/obtuse/stupid.
Who would place a child (no life jacket, no attendance) on Lake Michigan?
Don't do stupid things!

I understand your comment but they are a good family who has always been good to the school.

[Lysette Velez]

I pray that your little girl is safe, and will arrive home soon. I know Sofia. I went to her school and am a graduate of this year. We were close. She was hyper, energetic, outgoing, and hilarious. My prayers go out to the Khan family. WE LOVE YOU SOFIA! <3

I do not know first-hand the pain you are going through, but I care. My thoughts and fervent prayers will be with you. I am so very sorry for the heartbreaking tragedy you are dealing with. Our community cares deeply for you.

[Amanda Johannes]

It is only human to have people make mistakes!! I go to lake all the time and see children who don't have Life jackets on. Give the father a break, I am sure he feels bad enough!! My sister inlaw and I walk the beach and in the heavy moss by the sore yesturday, She and her family are on my mind and in my prayers!!!!! I won't stop looking either!!! GOD BLESS!!!

Who gives you a right to jugdge, without even knowing the family. For your information they do not live off the lake, so no, they wouldn't be that familiar with it. The father had also taken some precautions to not allow the kayak to 'float away'. No one is perfect in this world. The parents are wonderful people who bend over backwards for their kids as well as their friends'. To say they are stupid and that their 'blood-line should not be continued' is extremely harsh and offensive. Do you have any idea how the father is feeling right now...how it feels to watch your daughter float away, not being to do anyting to help.....I don't think so, so until you know how that feels, you should be a bit more considerate to other people's pain and suffering.
My prayers are with them and I hope Sofia is found soon.

Wow.....you are questioning parenting at this tragic story? If you don't want to be supportive or kind then don't post a comment all together, this is an adult telling another adult not to post a idiotic comment.
That being said...prayers go out to her family.

[Justreading]

Milly,
Everyone is right you are total in the wrong for even thinking it is okay to post a comment like that. Having a child of my own I can just imagine what those parents are going through. The hardest thing a parent can do is have to say "Goodbye" to their child, I would never be able to do it. I hope this little girl is found soon so that the parents can morn in peace. With all the media coverage it can't be easy. I know it wasn't easy for my family when my uncle (who was killed in a industrial accident) was all over the news. Her, her family and friends are in my prayers...

[DMarie]

My heart goes out to Sofia's family now, and in the days ahead. We do not know every detail as to what happened. So everyone, PLEASE do not judge her family, they are devistated. Pray for them.

[Samad]

This is a pure tragedy.. I really pray and hope that somehow Sofia got to the shore and can be found soon.. Miracles happen .. I called the Sheriff's department and was told no organized search is on but that hte family is passing out.. I would like to help but am at a loss.. May God help Sofia and keep her safe
