“My son has constantly run away. But he has a learning disability and he is on medication. The last time he ran was last week Sunday. I sent him and sister to go shopping. Just to the shop that is near to me and he went and he didn’t come back. And then i proceeded on Monday to look for him. Early in the morning; I saw him in the morning. I called him and asked him and I told him let’s go home. And he ran away from me and he went through the bushes in San Ignacio by the river side and he didn’t come back.”
