That brings to question again on how can we support (don’t know if that is our role?) or how in general can we advocate for a more standardized protocol for addressing missing children and getting the word out?thankful that TBI is proactive!

I just a news story about this evening's benefit concert. I'd be surprised if 100 people attended.

Xavior’s mother speaks out as community gathers for benefit concert (kyoutv.com)
Xavior’s parent’s including his mother, SH, who have remained silent throughout the search did have a message to the public. She shared in an off-camera statement to KYOU, “Keep having his picture be passed around and around. I want everyone to look for him. Thank you to everyone out looking for him.”
(Xavior's mother is seen in the video at the above link attending the concert. She is wearing orange as is most everyone.)

Another goal of the benefit is to raise more awareness, and that's where the power of over 40-volunteers help has come in with putting together flyer packs to hand out at the event, and mail out afterwards.
"Right now we're inside doing a lot of stamping envelopes, posting, doing posters, putting them in envelopes, getting them to fairgrounds, getting out everywhere, all over the world," TF, a volunteer from Des Moines, said. "And that's how were going to get this young man home is by getting the word out, and we're not going to stop until we get him home."
Volunteers have successfully mailed out flyer packets across the country, and now 40 states have Xavior's 'Missing Child' posters hung up in establishments from gas stations, malls, hotels, interstate highways, grocery stores, and more.

His constant smile and stories of being caregiver for his mom have made me care about him and worry. I want him to return to his life. Want him to turn up for his friends and family. Damn it!!

Where are you Xavior? Every time I think of you, I pray for your safe return to your family, friends and community. Planning to wear your missing T-shirt on my days off down here in Louisiana. Hoping that you are found soon.

So discouraging to check on this site daily and actually have to search for Xavior Harrelson's link. Sometimes when I don't see his name right away in the Missing Persons section I think he will be in the 'Located Persons' section. Unfortunately, that is not the case. But there is always hope.
