My SOs daughter ran away

[musiclawyer]

some months ago at age 16. My SO's daughter had been raised without a dad for the most part and was diagnosed with Opposition Defiant Disorder. Her dad had mood problems too. She inherited it I guess. At age 14 she was such a hellion that mom ( my SO) sent her to live with dad in another town. She was OK with dad for a while but then ran away a few months ago. No one knows where the child is, although she called once since she ran away saying that she was ok. My SO never talks about it. It's kind of creepy. I would be talking about it all the time. It must be intensly painful for her not knowing where her daughter is. But my SO does not show signs of anything other than being a happy person. Should I just say nothing and let her bring it up when she's ready, if she's ready. It's not like we've been together that long. I never met the daughter. But is this an issue that I should address, in terms of my long term committment to this woman?
