South Milwaukee tell FOX6 a 15-year-old girl who suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Prader-Willi Syndrome has been found safe.

Kayla Sirovina was reported as a runaway after voluntarily leaving the South Milwaukee High School without permission at about 8 a.m. Tuesday.

Officials say an off-duty police officer who had seen TV reports about Sirovina spotted her around 7 p.m. near 105th and Hampton in Milwaukee. Officers say she appeared to be in good health and unharmed.
