His family are all extremely worried so please report any sightings or information

Have been sharing posts daily, it doesn't seem enough somehow, he's not been far from my mind all week. It's very close to home for me, both location and age wise. Am praying that he's hiding out at a friend's house (or at least somewhere safe), it's been bitter weather.

Any news OP?

Nope nothing today - I’m not out as my throat is killing me and I’m on/off shivery. Hoping to get back out tomorrow :(

Fingers crossed they'll have found him and you won't be needed tomorrow.
I can't bare to think what his family are going through.

Another day out searching with the police (plus dogs, plus helicopter and hopefully have the drones out later)
The police have taken a lot of calls about possible sightings and are checking out every single one.

Are the police now allowing the public to assist them in the search? That’s good to know.

Get well soon OP. X

Hoping he’s found safe and well very very soon, thoughts with his family at this time it must be horrendous.

Bump ...

@luckydiamond - no not public yet. But we are “friends and family” and quite frankly they couldn’t have kept us alway.

I pray that he is found soon

@findliam I hope there’s a breakthrough and they find him soon.

I’m hoping he’s playing that “lost” game and one of his mates is hiding him.

My brother ran away when we were kids and the thing that stopped him walking in the door when he decided to come home was the police cars at the door. He hid in bushes down the road for hours afterwards. If I was the family I’d be looking closer to home.

How far would a teen take it? Surely even the most idiotic of teenagers would stop when they see the amount of resources etc being thrown at them? That’s 11 days now!

Yes I agree, but that and simply him not coming back because he doesn’t want to (plenty people do this) seem to be the best case scenarios,

Findliam, I'd hope lack of phone means he has no clue as to the resources thrown at him. Lucky has a point not coming back because he doesn't want to really is the best case, the alternatives are unbearable.

Are they looking into his spending?

It's weird a teenage boy would not take his phone. Could he have a secondary one?
