Firstly, I really hope she is found safe.

BUT if the father knew she was planning to hitchhike,

OR he has not taught her that hitchhiking is more dangerous than playing on the freeway

THEN it is not correct to say that he has a good relationship with his daughter and/or she couldn't be a runaway.

Statistically, most girls that age do turn out to be runaways or willingly went with their boyfriend for a few days of fun.

Looking at the Amber Alert site, it seems that nearly all even younger children are either taken by non custodial parents or went willingly. Although this is not good at least it shows that random child abduction is thankfully a lot rarer than we think.
