This is not a news report, its from personal experience.
I was on my way home from work and I walk a couple of blocks on a main street. Today there was a boy about 12 there on the sidewalk.
He was asking everyone who was walking by if we had seen the lady in the poster that was taped to the pole.
This is a 60+ woman who has mental problems, who has been missing for 2 weeks. Although missing people happen everywhere, it is not a usual occurance in the city I live in.
I told him I hadn't seen her and asked him if he knew her. "No" he answered with a very serious look on his face. "I'm asking people if they've seen her because she's lost and we have to find her so she can go home"
Hunters of the missing are everywhere, and every age! His efforts touched me.
P.S. In case you are worried about his safety I would say don't be. He didn't look like he was about to go anywhere with anyone. He was just bound and determined to make sure all the passerby took a moment to look at the poster of a stranger who is lost....
