Model hiding with man she met on Facebook

A teenage model who went missing after she struggled to cope with a condition that makes her face drop is in hiding with a man she met on Facebook, the social networking website.
Miss Dunbar is due to compete in the Miss Teen Commonwealth final in July.The mother of Kovi Dunbar, 17, has appealed for her daughter to return home for her 18th birthday later this month after the teenager was briefly traced to a home in Croydon, south London.
Miss Dunbar, from Cwmbran, south Wales, was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy more than two years ago. The condition paralyses facial nerves and causes one side of the face to droop.
Cynthia Langeveldt, 39, who works as a GP surgery manager, told how she had traced her daughter: "Kovi left her mobile phone behind and I rang all the numbers she had called. A woman answered and said her son had met Kovi on Facebook and they were together."
Mrs Langeveldt travelled to Croydon on Friday evening after the woman told her that Kovi was at her home.
advertisement"I went to their house and Kovi was there. I pleaded with her to come home but the young man and his mother did all the talking. Then Kovi ran out of the house and the boy followed her. His mother has also reported him missing to the police now - it is a worrying situation."
The missing man is 20 years old. Miss Dunbar, who is due to compete in the Miss Teen Commonwealth final in July, has represented Wales in three beauty contests and was a finalist in Miss Teen UK.
She left her home in Cwmbran at 1.30pm on Wednesday April 2 to go to London to see a friend.
Miss Dunbar is described as of mixed race appearance with long black hair, brown eyes and a fresh complexion. She is slim and approximately 5ft 10ins tall. She speaks with a South African accent as she formerly lived in Zimbabwe.
According to the Bell’s Palsy Association website, symptoms often disappear after a few weeks but a small percentage of sufferers never fully recover.
Famous people who have suffered episodes of Bell’s Palsy include actors Pierce Brosnan and George Clooney.
