That newest Drip find is a good one! I know someone posted that they were able to find his reddit profile awhile back. Looking at it, there was nothing suspicious. MOO Just a lot of gaming & football stuff. However, that really means nothing the more I think about it MOO.
The stalker thing is concerning. Let's say, HD got info somehow that the stalker would be looking for him on his way to school. So, first HD could have trying the angle of not going to school. Mom wasn't buying it, so he left earlier than usual to throw the stalker off.

Great finds to those of you who have located the Drip messages!

Gaps in SM presence among his gaming circle would be concerning. Look into it. Not talking about HD and not trying to say too much. MOO

I saw in the discord channel someone posted that HD was missing. They were letting the people there know and NO ONE said a word. It was like they weren't concerned at all. There wasn't a "bummer" or a "that sucks" at all. They could have taken that into a private room but the area it was stated in it was crickets.

Yes I am THAT much into monitoring my child I am even on discord,

Good, good parent for monitoring!

How sad they commenter's don't care. His YT shows a lot of love.

I just spent a good 30 mins reviewing the last pages of the old thread. Oh boy, it looks bleak.

Poor Harley. I don't think he met up with someone. There would be some sort of evidence, I would imagine.

I hate to think this, but at this point ...
Is it possible with the snow and ice, dogs cannot find him? I do not know how well the canines work in those conditions.
There are a lot if rural farm fields that people may not enter til spring. Is there hunting in the area?
They seem to have the terrible luck of finding the remains that searchers miss.

I don't want to feel this way, I've been crying for this boy for two weeks.

I want him found safe most, but ultimately I want an answer. Missing is the worst possibility for a family. No answers, no closure.

I think a lot of people let Harley down. But that doesn't mean he's not missed and they're not suffering.

Oh Harley, if you could only see how many people care for you.

Port Clinton being an hour from Cleveland, and Cleveland being the 5th largest human trafficking city is more than a good reason for concern.

The #1 source for human traffickers to find their victims is social media, and it's clear there was no shortage of that for Harley.

With no sightings and this long of a wait, I would imagine the search has expanded quite a bit location wise.

Great finds to those of you who have located the Drip messages!

It was a good find (previous thread) but I would have thought that police/fbi would be looking over his social media with a fine tooth comb. I am more confused now about this case.

Harley’s disappearance was on Good Morning America this morning.

A positive change has now been made in our household. My daughter has now deleted all vids posted and the app TikTok is removed and blocked from our devices. Though gd’s vids are completely innocent with no red flags, not everyone’s are. I’ve told anyone who will listen about this little boy and my concerns for all kids. Harley has made a difference in our lives.

15 apps parents should look out for on their kids' phones

• The first is 'MeetMe,' an app where teens can easily be in contact with users much older than them, with an emphasis on dating.
• 'WhatsApp' and 'SnapChat' are for messaging, but what you should know is teens can send unlimited messages, have video chats and even share their live location with other users, people they may not even know.
• 'Skout' is a flirting app that's used to meet and chat with new people. Teens and adults are in different groups, but ages aren’t verified.
• 'TikTok' is used for sharing user created videos that can contain bad words, even adult content.
• 'Badoo' and 'Bumble' are dating apps for adults, but teens can still find ways to join.
• 'Grindr' is geared towards the LGBTQ community. It allows users to share photos and meet up based on phone’s GPS location.
• 'Kik' is specifically for kids, but anyone can join and anyone can contact or direct message your child.
• 'LiveMe' is a live streaming app, but you don’t know who’s watching and your kids location is revealed.
• 'Holla' is all about connecting strangers around the world through video chat. Enough said.
• 'Whisper' is a social confessional where kids can remain anonymous, but still share their feelings. And it can reveal your child’s location for a meet up.
• 'ASKfm' encourages people to allow anonymous users to ask them questions, which opens the door for online bullying.
• 'Hot or Not' rates users on attractiveness.. There’s no age verification and users can send each other messages.
• And lastly, 'Calculator%' apps are several secret apps that allows kids to hide their photos, videos, even browser history.

I think it is possible that the madden video could have been overlooked because it was very long, had virtually no audio, & contained mostly in interesting gaming things. The only msg I saw typed was the drip-stalker one. MOO and I did ff through a lot of it.
