A Nashua family is seeking help in finding Brenna Solberg, 16, who ran away from a treatment center in Manchester for those with neurobehavioral disorders.

According to Emily Solberg, Brenna's sister, the family got a call sometime after 1 a.m. that Brenna had run away from the Neurobehavioral Residential/Educational Treatment Program, an Easter Seals program, in Manchester.

"Apparently she pulled the fire alarm, and everyone had to evacuate. That's when she left," said Solberg. 

She said they believe Brenna may be heading toward Maine, but are worried that she has no money and may not be dressed for the weather. Police have been notified and are working with Easter Seals. An attempt by Nashua Patch to reach Easter Seals for comment was unsuccessful.

"It's freezing out," said Solberg, who also said that they believe Brenna may be in the company of another resident who also left, but they do not have a lot of information. She said her sister has been at the center for the past year.

"I think maybe she's scared to contact us, afraid she will get in trouble.  All we care about is her safety, that's of prime importance, just knowing she's OK," Solberg said. "She's been struggling lately and we've just been trying really hard with Easter Seals to do what's best for her."
