Wow so much to learn from this story....
Never assume an older teen just ran away.
If a sketch even remotely resembles someone you know or are kin to say something. (I would think the son would've thought this sketch looked like his father)
Never dismiss a possible cry for help as a domestic dispute
And people always always be aware of your surroundings. I will be checking out my neighbors a little more closer. You just never know.
When something seems off it's better to be wrong than sorry later. Wonder how many will come out to say the strange things they whitnessed but just brushed off....
Heartbreaking story
The sad part is, in this country, not to many people will get involved.
The sad part is, in this country, LE ( not all ) have a tendency to think that
anyone over 16 are runaways.
The sad part is, in DV cases, tho LE, has gotten better, then when I needed them, they will investigate, however, unless they see marks most will just do a report. Tho some places, if LE is called out on a domestic, someone is going to jail.
The great part is: We are having this conversation to be more observant and to know, that Miracles happen everyday.
Holly Bobo's family and friends are posting all over FB about this Miracle of a story and gives them and others a renewed hope.
