Thank you to everyone who shared this missing juvenile alert.

I’d run away too if my parents named me that.
Shame on you! This is a beautiful biblical name…the poor kid is already upset, as they said he had suicidal thought- and instead of being supportive, you’re a grown man bullying like some snot nosed kid in the comment section!! He may feel the same way about a boring name that sounds like a plastic doll without appendages- like “KEN”….?
Ken thought he was being funny. Think again, Ken.
Thank you ABQ RAW for posting this! You guys do a great job of keeping us informed!
