>In January 2019, a woman from Raseiniai in central Lithuania left for Malaysia, where she went to visit her internet friend. She was 19 years old at the time, the Šiauliai County Chief Police Commissariat said in a press release. On December 20 last year, the woman had a video chat with Chief Investigator Vytautas Globis. “I am alive, well, and very happy,” she told him. She said she left Lithuania and broke contact with her relatives because she did not want anything to do with them.

Just because people are family, it doesn't mean you have to stay with them and let them hold influence over your life. Sometimes a person just doesn't feel like they fit in a particular family and need to go find where they belong.

Yes, i totally agree. Although she could have told them that she's not planning on going back. Pretty sure they have been worrying about her.

Right she could have send them a “smell you later never contact me again” message would save so much time and effort from so many people.

To be fair she was young and I'd be worried about her ending up in a cult or in an abusive relationship. Hopefully they really checked on her and didn't take just a short call to assume she is fine.

Yup. People rarely use the full phrase with its original meaning anymore, but the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. It seems I was mistaken. Though the point still stands even if the phrase isn't the original.

That's the new version made up in the late 80's, the original indeed was simply "blood is thicker than water."
