I join with you all in hoping that this young lad has been found safe but for some reason (confidentiality?) they are not announcing this.

Yes, I think the reason is probably confidentiality too. I think he may be a child-in-care due to the Department of Communities - Child Protection and Family Support being involved.
 
Dear Bohemian,

That is my thought as well. I can't think of any other reason as to why information would be removed unless Child Protection is involved.

Although, since the info was already out there, I do wish that there was a comment stating that the child has been located safe.
 
A rudimentary search on fb indicated he was returned to a group home and then ran away again...

Lost his mother tragically in 2011...sounds like he hasn’t had the best start in life and has been shunted from pillar to post unfortunately...

Hope you find the support you need to become a productive member of society mate...
