What is going on with our teenagers of today !!!! Why not stomp up the stairs and go into your rooms for a few hours ????? Far too many doing this to themselves and parents !! #kidspleasegetagripandstopthis
why did it take several days before reporting this to police?
Is this the craze on FB around a month ago teenagers daring each other to fake their disappearance? Happening too much surely?!
Does he have parents? Are they disabled and cant mind him, possibly blind? If so help the parents and the boy. Glad he is ok.
have your say
