Urgent - Missing child (20 June)

[Mom]

i am absolutely overwhelmed ...


my big mean ass is in tears over here..


i have a huge karmic debt to repay from my lifetime .. maybe this is the way the universe clears the slate and shows me what needs to be..

*Passing you the tissues* they are Aloe Vera too, so very soothing..........you big tough guy you.......chin up mate, it will be ok!

[Ocean1]

I'm another one that's been there Sarge, there's a lot of us.
All I can do is echo John's words. The old bastards' right, you can't reason with or threaten them at that age, just accept them.

Be gentle with yourself too, there's no blame here, it's happened to the very best of us.

Good luck mate, lean on your friends.

Mark.

Hey Sarge, stay strong mate.

Feeling for ya and wish there was something I could do to help. Thoughts are with you. Remember it's not your fault. He has made the choice. All you can do is try your hardest to find him and love him to bits when you do.

That sucks the big kumara Sarge, I will def keep both eyes peeled on my travels....

Reading through all the kind messages and offers, I had this vision pop into my head of like 6 KB bikes all converging on him in the middle of the street!!!!

He will turn up, keep positive.

How much money does he have access to? Can you get access to his online banking? may give you a clue as to his location?

Have you tried talking to his friends again as they just might pass on a message from you or actually realise how serious this sit really is.

Good luck with your search. I'm sure he will turn up when he has calmed down alittle.

[NotaGoth]

I really feel for you..

Always remember my old lady reminding me that she didn't care if I needed to go away for a while to have time out.. So long as she knew where I was and that I was warm and safe..

I'm sure someone knows where he is.. They'll be keeping quiet about it though...

Just give him time to chill.. And when he comes home don't go off your nut!!! Stay calm!!!

I hope he turns up soon though.. One of the hardest things as a parent is not knowing where their child is.. Chin up.. All will pan out well..

The black hoodie.
Plain or is there a logo/emblem of some sort on it?

[xwhatsit]

Man this is horrible. So sorry to hear this, I really hope he comes home quickly and well.

14 was not so far away for me, much closer than most other people here -- I remember being so simplistic in my reasoning and one-minded (what's changed?). I don't think I'd be able to hold my pride up for that long in this sort of weather though, not even I'm that stubborn.

Best of luck.

geezes, i hope you slap him around some when he gets home and tell him not to be a 3rd world bum like his mates!
its ONLY going to get him in trouble...!

plain with a grey lining

Guys I know NOTHING about find a kid... what works?

A PI?
Reward Posters on power poles?
Radio Ad?

c'mon all - this IS where the rubber hits the road. Those of you with kids can relate a lot better than those without. For those without - imagine one of your parents just going missing... this is f*en serious.

Shelby simply needs to be safe first and foremost. He's a damned nice kid and I'll give him a bed and food till the time is right to return home (as soon as possible of course). Better here than under a bridge.

Who can help - and how?

Important enough, this, to raise the dead.

So, how many bikers would it take to grid search the area? Couple hundred bikers asking "Seen this dude" is going to get round. Even if they don't find him, it's going to send a message that he's cared about and wanted .

I'm up to spend Saturday searching and doorknocking . How many others ?

Police members got any advice? Anyone in S&R ?

[Switch]

Sorry i can't help find him down in Hamilton. But i text a couple of friends who regularly go for drives around Auckland. Best of luck finding him.

Constructive comments I hope.
My mates daughter did the runner. She filled her boyfriends family ( and several others)up with the old "my perants treat me like shit type stuff". And you'd be suprised how many give them a bed and do nothing to tell anyone. Sounds to me like he's been too long away from home not have someware to lay his head. So you might try greasing up the school to find out his mates full names. Then calling as many as you can. You've prob done this but a second try after a bit of time may bring a different result. See if you can get some leads going. Watch for the people who cut you off quick they may be believing him, as you've already said it was a lie you got him on.

Other than that we feel for you mate. I had a situation with my 17 year old that was "you decide but if you do it, your outa here" luckly it went my way, cause he thinks "the bastard (me), won't ever back down".

I'm another one that will help if you need a search party!!! Good luck mate!!
