WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) — Wichita police believe a child reported missing Sunday has been found dead.

Jhornee Bland, 2, went missing Sunday morning from the area of 31st South & Oliver. She was last seen with a 25-year-old acquaintance of the family. That acquaintance has been in contact with investigators.

A body believed to be the girl was found in a field near 19th and Hydraulic Monday afternoon. Police have not said how the child died.

Police said they have no suspects or persons of interest at this time.

this was my student's niece

he was freaking out because his phone was blowing up. i was in the process of getting him to the counselor when he was called to office. this poor kid has been through a lot and now this. in 2006 he watched his older brother murdered and now his niece is also murdered. i do not know what it is like to live with this kind of violence. i wish i could save them all

This little girl is one of your students?

I am so terribly sorry. You must be in shock and so upset. Are you ok?

This is just heartbreaking. I'm glad you reached out on DU.

We are here listening.

and I hope your student and the entire family received support from friends, family and the community.

2-years old is so very young. I'm sure the community is devastated.

if he does that, he will do something crazy to get suspended in the last 8 days

he didn't want to get in trouble for checking his phone so he came to me.

i let him check his phone when he started telling me about this. there was 15 messages on his phone. i was dialing the counselor when the intercom called for him to go to office.

the look on his face i won't soon forget

It's so hard to watch, and see, and know.

Please allow this nurse to prescribe some self-care and permission to feel whatever range of emotions you might be going through. No matter what the head knows, the heart holds it's own domain.
