A family has launched an appeal to track down a girl who has gone missing.

Stara Robinson, a pupil at Rainham School for Girls, was last seen at Strood Retail Park on Monday, January 20.

Her sister Porché Skye Robinson issued an appeal on Facebook the same day saying she was last seen near Starbucks having left for school.

As of 8pm last night, Stara had still not been seen.

Her sister's post, which has been shared over 3,000 times, says she is with a friend called Shakila.

Stara was last seen wearing black leggings, pink Nike trainers, a red Rainham Grammar School for Girls PE jumper, a black puffer jacket and a scarf.

She had been carrying a beige school bag and would have been wearing her hair down.

The post reads: "Stara’s gone missing and my heart is broken. If anyone sees her contact me or my nan ASAP please.

"Can’t believe this is happening. Please feel free to share or not I just want her home safe. It’s so cold and I don’t know where she is."
