Girl, 19, who went to meet chat friend 'kidnapped'

A 19-year-old girl from Sichuan province who left home for Liaoning province to meet an Internet chat friend has allegedly been kidnapped in Fuzhou, Fujian province.

Last month, Xiao Mei told her father she was going to Liaoning to meet a man she met on the Internet recently. A week later, she phoned her father, saying she was on her way to Fuzhou to meet a former classmate.
