#KCRA #Sacramento #California
They made love every day.
Sorry but that lady helped keep your son safe and at least not homeless. I understand why they arrested her but I don’t agree. She helped him survive. So she should’ve allowed him to be on the streets? No I don’t think so.
Investigators need to check out the house, see what really been going on
Yeah maybe they should also hold the parents accountable because the kid didn’t just run away because of some minor rules that he didn’t want to follow. This could be many things like, physical abuse, emotional abuse or maybe even sexual abuse. I’m sure this kid was better off with the other family he went to.
Kids now in days just run away because they can’t get their way but for 2 years is a bit extreme I think.
Why would you hide him? That’s beyond cruel.
We getting justice ? I don’t think 15 years old just ran away for nothing something fishy behind that family the boy most be told his teacher everything that’s the reason teacher decided to help hidden him and also I don’t understand what she saying her son’s her husband biological nephew ?
I can’t tell you how many times I pleaded for help from teachers, church members, ppl at the grocery store, relatives to save my brother and I from the none stop beatings at my fathers hand. The 4 times I ran away with nowhere to go he finding me dragging me back home for yet another beating. If I had a teacher like this I would defend them to the deaths and I certainly would’ve never willing went back to that toxic abusive environment
Lol 22o30
@Kim Jong-un 🇰🇵 ???
And he snitches on the teacher that second he goes home. 🙄
Same
so why did he go home then? i’m very conflicted on this one. this boy needs to tell his story about why he fled and why he returned.
That’s so stupid if the kid doesn’t won’t to come home then they should get that choice the teacher help him and gets arrested bc the son doesn’t want to go back to his parents like the parents should be happy he wasn’t dead somewhere they should be thanking her and not pressing charges
At least she took care of him
Something doesn’t seem
right
So sad! She must not have any children, does she really know the pain that she caused these people, l really think she was thinking only of herself. Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. She should be arrested and pay for this, no excuse. When a child is wrong they have to be punished. Praying for this family and that their son is alright.
Do good and get bad in return 🤗
It’s a universal rule
Believe me 22o30
Just her whole vibe was weird….🤔
Did you catch that part about his uncle being his dad?
Definitely more to this “happy family”
Stupid . So they want someone else to be caused pain .Not every adult is mentally competent of making decisions.The mom who hid him might have mental issues.
Wow! 😳
So Sad…good reporting.
Always faith/ Heart wrenching when you don’t know if they’re safe
Um he hid because he obviously didn’t feel safe duh at you
Wow he dropped dime on her fast amd he was the one that went to her for shelter cus he couldn’t follow his parents rules that’s crazy
This title is so misleading. The focus is on a kid who ran away from home and an adult who just happened to be a teacher was housing him. That’s it. Stop blaming the “teacher”. The kid got exactly what he wanted. To be hidden away. Just because the boy is younger doesn’t make him the victim or a victim at all. Duh.
…and the kid gets off scott free? The kid should be thown into Juvenile also.
My son hid my Xbox and I ran away from home and got a job within the 2 years I was gone and I’m now very happy.
I hope this teaches everyone not to get into arguments with their kids. Let them do whatever they want so things like this don’t happen.
Sounds like the mom has some issues. Everything is on the father and not her and seemed more upset than happy
Kids running away because of strict parents isnt that abnormal. Running away and hiding away for TWO YEARS is for sure abnormal. Weird story.
These are not the comments I expected to see.
And the dude ratted the one who was hiding him. Can’t say anything good about him when he chooses to run away.
Well Why? There must be a reason.
Though honestly call Law Enforcement
The parents should be further question. Why did the kid decided to hide out for 2 years?
Former president accused of hiding documents for almost two years. And so it goes.
Ok this isn’t a kidnapping or is it a little kid. There’s no crime here as any crime needs criminal intent. This is so WRONG!!
I lot of triggered individuals in the comments. Hiding a child like this is NOT the answer, period! You need to know you WILL be arrested.
Held accountable for treating your child better than you did apparently.
If my home was abusive I would’ve 100% run away too and gone to someone I trust and know who would be there for me.
Just your voice is annoying, I would have ran away too….
I ran away from home too. I shoulda been placed with a foster family but instead the cops brought me right back to my dad 😢
Now he mad at the other family so he leaves and tell on them. Such baby feelings in that boy
kids don’t run away + stay away from happy, healthy homes for absolutely no reason.
i’d need more info before i blame whoever took him in + kept him safe this whole time. until then, i wouldn’t trust the parents for a moment.
ETA: glad to see similar sentiments in the comments; good to know many people get it.
I bet the teacher thought he or she was helping but I would have let the parents know he was ok and at my house
uhhh the kid is the dads biological nephew thats what she said? sooo she had a kid with a guy then married his brother? nah. this family has some secrets
This mom is manipulative you can tell. Her demeanor is too nice and comforting like a fox tricking you into being eaten. because in reality she’s a monster. Kids just don’t run away because of a heated argument. Or this kid could just be an entitled brat either way the kids f**** for life.
I command full punishment, no misdemeanor, max, I’d it was your child missing for 2 years, do you have any ideal of that pain, I command it
Nah. That lady knows what was goin on. Why didn’t the husband get on camera to talk??
what was going on in his household that was so bad it made him run and hide for so long?
Your parenting sucks lady.
Something is fishy around here story not over yet to be continued…🤔
ieew that teacher creep wanted some
There is a law against this kind of thing. .. It’s best not to take the law in your own hands when it comes to other people’s children. ..
Worst parents ever lol HE WAS DOWN THE STREET LMAO FOR TWO YEARS LMAO
This is just as BAD as teachers telling kids they are Transformers…
Maybe he wanted to go home for a while but she guilted him into staying because she would get into trouble if anyone found out.
okay but the parents blaming it all on the teacher ? she didn’t kidnap him he went there willingly its sad to know shes gonna have to go to court for his mess when he went there willingly & most likely begged her not to tell! idk why he would go back to the family just to rat her out like thats not on her cause u ran away ?!
100% abuse in that house. They were not looking. Good on the teacher for keeping him safe. Hopefully the truth comes to light in court. The mothers behaviour is weird.
He was being abused, no one runs away from a loving and supportive home.
Heated argument and you dip for 2 years… was there abuse? There would be no way I would keep a child with me if families were actively looking, I’d talk to the cops first. But that is interesting me
Doing the wrong thing? This ex teacher has been questioned and said nothing. Then the child shows up 2 years later. Until more information is provided seems like the lad had free will and decided to stay. That’s fishy to me, I hope they look into his aunt and uncle
The way the mom said she was “robbed of time spend with him” and not mentioning how she was worried about his safety doesn’t sit right with me
Was looking to see if anyone else caught that. That felt off to me.
There’s something very suspect about this story..
Teacher needs to be stripped of credit and thrown in prison.
This situation is so obvious. These people are emotionally controlling along with other things it sucks because those things are not illegals
🤣🤣🤣🤣
His family must be investigated, he would not just hid himself like that?? I will thanked the teacher instead for rescuing him atleast those 2yrs.
Irresponsible reproduction. I hope the kid is okay. Shame on the family for making your own kid run away. You couldn’t solve it with love that you didn’t know how to show or express, so you resorted to punishment. Such shame. I can only hope you learn to grow up and be a loving human being. Your children are not your property, spiritually speaking. Let them break the rules. It’s healthy. It’s not healthy to ruin relationships over your kid breaking ‘your rules’. That’s called parental narcissism and I’m sure there’s many victims here that feel the same, and i’m sure there’s many parents angry at what I’m saying. It just shows you need to grow up as an adult if you have a problem what with I’m saying.
The case I think needs to be looked into more. There are a lot of puzzling factors.
Having flashback to the family that kept their kids in the basement. Big families, big problems.
Missing kid is a d×ck for mentioning who helped him IF his home was so bad. IF the kid left just because his parents said no and teacher knew his attitude then she should have known he do her like this. Either way a person who went to college SHOULD have known that there are legal ways to handle this situation.
Just crazy.
I don’t trust any of it. The kids story, the parents story, the cops investigation, all of this sounds fowl. I need more info and a through investigation into everyone
For those saying kids don’t just run away because of broken rules blah blah blah……….ummmm yes they do
Well at least he’s alive and safe do you really want him to hide somewhere else? Or worse be dead?!
thts a teacher?? wow
This is why I never help people, especially, and just report it to the police. Dont want to catch a case.
Was he having a relationship possibly with teacher.. Or one of the family members at teachers home..
Well I’m glad the teacher didn’t molest him, “oh hold it, the stories not over yet”.
At least he is safe, alive and no physical harm had been done to him. Many missing children’s parents would love this to happen to them.
I agree with all of you that say that there must have been something more going on….
For all the speculators… remember that he ran away from a home that had 6 kids. It seems that he was only biologically related to the Dad of that family. So…. did the other kids get all the attention/ money etc? Was he responsible for “taking care” of the kids even though he wasn’t related to them directly?
Did he leave the teacher’s house because he finally felt the “threatening” situation was over and could go back home?
Was the teacher about to move or lose their job and didn’t want to continue helping him out?
BTW… I feel the teacher saved his life.
So why exactly did he feel the need to leave their home for two years?
The dad looks like he beats his kids the teacher shouldn’t be charged
Kids runaway for reasons not just runaway they should be investigate to!
Was the teacher hiding him from an abusive family? The family needs and will be investigated by CPS now.
Justice?
I’m sorry noo, your son ran away
To those ppl saying that there is always a reason kids run away – I am here to say that sometimes the only reason is that the kid is an a-hole. Sometimes you can love someone so much and care about them so much but they are still an a-hole and you as a parent can do nothing about it.
Wait so his mom’s husband is his biological uncle? Man this story is wild
Kids do run away bc they don’t wanna follow rules. I have seen it first hand. But kids also run away bc they are being abused etc. this is why there must be an investigation into both parties. There was a girl two weeks ago who paid her friend to murder her mom (rip) all bc she did not like the rules that her mother set in place. The video is on youtube
Teacher needs to be put in prison for kidnapping
something creepy about that mom.
WTF
Hey mom, maybe he’s not telling you everything.
Will this be as bad as Milwaukee police giving a victim back to jeffery dahmer, we will see.
it is not ok to arrest a person because a child runs away from home to ur home for safety. my childhood best friend ran away to my house. my mom and i should not have and we’re not arrested this stuff happens. kids should be able to get to a safe place and parents are not always the safe ones
Moms tone doesn’t match the situation. She’s just telling a story. More to this than shown in this clip
Wow!
tengan cuidado hay un grupo del crimen organizado de mi México operando también en estados unidos en trecy California Estados Unidos son de Tecate baja California México pero me atacaron en Guanajuato o ultimora desde Michoacán ya que vivíamos hay antes y los últimos 34 años sn estado atacandome este grupo se mete con toda la gente inocente un que no te metas con ellos ellos te atacan y te ponen a trabajar para ellos bajo amenazas de hacerles algo a tus hijos traen mentalista inotistas imitadores de voz y hackers e hacen instalaciones de programas de hackers en celulares de todos tus familiares atacan principal escuelas restaurantes tiendas empresas en ambos países y los obligan a cometer sus delitos por ellos como atacar gente inocente en peleas y después ellos hablan por celulares hackeados por ellos llevan 34 de años operando en Tecate baja California México y trecy California Estados Unidos atacando a todo tipo de gente y se meten con tus hijos y un que les ayuden comenté crímenes contra la salud en alimentos medicamentos ya que tambien atacan hospitales mucho cuidado asta amenazaron policías en ambos países para que no se metieran si no los matan ya que por su mentalista que puede saber lo que piensas saben todo de ti cómo donde andas y contraseña de tus correos y después usan sus hackers
So did he just skip going to high school for two years?
The teacher did nothing wrong
2 years is extreme, more to kids story. Uncle felt like he failed the kid, terrifying things in home went down. More than just a tantrum! He wasn’t held against his will, hope the mom isn’t charged. Whatever the law decided… She paid for his care & protection!
She will probably found guilty of doing something else with the boy too. He didn’t just want to come home. He got tired of the old lady’s demands. Lol
I don’t believe the family is in the clear. There’s a reason why a responsible adult would hide a child knowing it’s illegal.
