Jaylenn Earls, 13, sparked global concern on the internet after her video where she ran into a stranger’s house in tears with a black eye went viral in TikTok.
This news was first reported on August 9, 2024, when Harrison Happenings posted a video on its Facebook page. The post stated that the 13-year-old girl ran into a stranger’s house, crying and asking for help, saying, “He’s coming,” referring to her mother’s boyfriend.
This statement was taken from Jordan Adams, whose home Jaylenn ran into. Adams said, “She was last seen at her home, then running into a wooded area a couple of blocks from our home on Considine Ave, when the police were approaching because she said, ‘Police will make it worse.‘”
The 13-year-old Cincinnati girl, Jaylenn Earls, who was reported missing after being last seen on a family's ring camera with a black eye, running from her stepdad and barging into another family's house while being chased down, has been found safe.

Many speculate that Nathaniel Bickel, who got multiple charges of domestic violence, misdemeanor, assault, and more, is the boyfriend, but there’s no confirmation.
Many people expressed concerns about the girl’s safety after seeing the video. A user commented, “I would demand an investigation into the stepdad immediately.”
Jaylenn Earls’ mother, Tiffany Johnson, has come out with a different story than her daughter!
On the same Facebook post, Jaylenn Earls’ mother, Tiffany, commented that all this was happening because Jaylenn wanted to date older men, and they did not allow it. She said that Jaylenn’s action were lies and she ran away because she was strict with her teenage daughter.
However, Jaylenn Earl also took her Instagram account to share her side of the story. She said, “I ran away from home multiple times before because of my mom and her boyfriend.“
She also mentioned that her mom’s boyfriend had SA’d her and that her mother never believed her. Jaylenn and her mother have since deleted these posts and comments.
On the other hand, Jenna, her sister, also took her mother’s side, saying that she ran away because they banned her from dating older men.
She said, “The videos that’s surfacing of her getting chased was her running from the 17-year-old boys’ house after cops arrived.”
Jaylenn was missing after running away from the stranger’s house. However, her family has reported that they have found her, and she is safe.
However, many claim that they saw tragedy and full of fear in Jaylenn’s face in the video and do not believe her mother and sisters’ side of the story.
Furthermore, netizens do not believe that Jaylenn Earls is safe in her house, despite online sources claiming she is, and demand a proper investigation.
Additional Information
- When she ran into the stranger’s house, Jaylenn Earls had a black eye. The police did not note this because they were not directly in contact with her.
- As of now, there have been no public updates about her or her situation. But the assumption is that she is with her family.
Have the police seen the video? They can clearly see her with a black eye. She can be emancipated from her mom. What a shame a child doesn’t feel safe. A boyfriend can be replaced, a child cannot.
This case needs a thorough investigation and the family needs to be followed by a social worker.
