Authorities are looking for a 16-year-old girl who texted a family member that she had been kidnapped after she was seen entering a Brooklyn train station Tuesday afternoon, police say.

The teenager was last seen entering the Pitkin Avenue-Van Siclen Avenue A and C line subway station in East New York just before 3 p.m.
