Two underage lovebirds ran away from home, telling their parents: “We love you. See you when we’re grown up.” Fourteen-year-old Juliana Ribeiro and her 16-year-old sweetheart Marco Santos went missing last Friday.
Their notes to their parents said: “We have work, we’re not going to be hungry, don’t call the police”, and Marco is understood to have written: “Don’t sell my scooter, or my things. Sorry for what we’ve done, but we love you.”
With the heartbreaking bid for the freedom to be together splashed over the nation’s best-read tabloid, it wasn’t long before the duo was located.
