STAFFORD, Texas — UPDATE: An AMBER Alert for a 14-year-old girl out of Stafford has been discontinued, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. No other details were provided.

An AMBER Alert was issued Monday for a 14-year-old girl who police said ran away from her parents last weekend at a Houston-area entertainment center.
The teen was last seen Sunday at the Main Event on Fountain Lake Circle near the Southwest Freeway in Stafford.
Her parents said they had taken the teen and their 9-year-old grandson to Main Event to meet a friend that they knew, but when they arrived, there was a different person there -- someone they didn't know.
Her father said he tried leaving with Jasmin and his grandson but instead, the teen walked out the front door with the unknown guy.
"As I turned to look at my grandson, a Buick -- probably a 2000 or so Buick -- pulled up from behind, never really came to a complete stop," he said. "The two doors swung open. They went in and as I was trying to grab her, he floored it and took off."
Stafford police said they were able to track down the Buick, but the teen was nowhere to be found.
"One of the males we've identified is not giving us accurate information," said Sgt. Luciano Lopez. "Giving us conflicting stories of what we know so far."
Her parents said her phone died or was turned off, but they've been working to get as much information as they can.
"She does have a history of talking to strangers online," her mother said. "We tried to put up all kinds of safety parameters. She has a phone. It's called a BARK phone. But she was able to get my phone and get into the app and add the number of a person we didn't know."
The parents are praying their daughter comes home soon.
"She doesn't always put things together, which makes her pretty vulnerable and very susceptible for manipulation," her father said.
Police believe the teen may be in danger.
Her parents said she is considered special needs and is medication dependent.
The teen is about 5 feet tall and weighs approximately 130 pounds. She has brown hair and eyes and was last seen wearing a zip-up hoodie and brown paisley pants.
If you have seen Jasmin or know of her whereabouts, please call Stafford police at 281-261-3950.
