      Why would someone in your words liss a 15 year old child. But, it is strange that his mother did not report him missing.

    My 16 year old son was late one day getting home and I almost had a panic attack worrying if something had happen to him. As soon as I was about to jump in the car to look for the boy he came walking up the road. If my boy was missing for two weeks I would have had a full blown nervous breakdown.

    Did he see something or done something he shouldn't have, or is someone close to him in things they shouldn't be in and he is the price, of is it a matter of getting caught up in love. This is so serious, we have to look at all possibilities and hope for his safe return..

      So quick to talk about beating when you don’t know what a child is going through.

      Adults can’t even handle stress and trauma well but expect children to automatically get over whatever they’re dealing with and many times they’re ignored by those who should protect them.

      Typical response from an ignorant island person whose answer to everything concerning a troubled child is corporal punishment.

    The only thing I will say at this time, Something is happening in the home and the boy feels more safe running away from home than being in the home. His parents needs to go under investigation sans he is a minor.
    • Totally agree (31/12/2022, 18:08) Like (7) Dislike (0) Reply
      @Street CI, and here’s why, as a child growing up, I use to run away a lot because things were going on the house and I felt safer running away. When a child keeps running away from home, something is going on. I would agree, social Development needs to check out that home. Something is wrong in that home.
