Missing 14-year-old Jade Lynch's sister has made an emotional appeal for her to come home.
The schoolgirl vanished 10 days ago after telling relatives she was meeting someone in St Helen's.
Today, her older sister Stephanie begged Jade to come home at a police press conference.
She said: "We just want to know she is safe. It's not like her not to be in contact.
"I see her all the time. I really just want to know she's OK. It would mean the world to me."
Stephanie sobbed as she added: "As she got older we have been much closer. I love her so much. We just want to know she is OK.
"We just want to know she is safe. She is not in trouble, we love her very much and we just want to know she is OK."
Her sister and friends have been sharing Jade's image online with the hashtag #findoursister
She went for a walk with Jade the day before she vanished and asked her if she was okay.
The teenager said she was "fine", Stephanie revealed.
This comes as police revealed they are looking at her social media accounts and interactions as they continue to search for the missing girl, reported the Liverpool ECHO.
Jade, originally from Warrington in Cheshire, has been described as 'extremely vulnerable'.
Detectives revealed they are exploring a number of lines of enquiry including the possibility she met someone she had been speaking to over the internet.
Det Supt John Betts said: "We are exploring all lines of enquiry. We're looking at social media and her interactions."
They also expressed concern that she hasn't used her social media accounts since last Saturday when she vanished.
Detectives described as silence as "very unusual" as it emerged she also left her mobile phone at home.
Jade and her siblings have been in foster care in St Helen's since August.
Det Supt Betts, leading the enquiry, asks witnesses to call Cheshire police on 101 quoting ref. 257 of March 29.
