I am not very good at posting but feel this is important.
A young man/teen has been missing since last week. My friend's son spoke with him last Friday and there have been some "sightings". But, this boy, Jeff, is still missing. His mother passed away from cancer years ago and his father left. His grandparents are raising him. They are beside themselves. He was with his brother(18) while they were out of town & spent a night with a friend. That was last Thursday. Friday he spoke with my friend's son. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing since except the supposed sightings.
We are hoping it is a runaway situation and he is scared cuz of all that has happened. The FBI is or will be involved. I am just asking for prayers for Jeff & his grandparents and all of the people trying to find him.

Please Lord watch over Jeff, guide him and protect him.
Lord, praying for Your guiding hand on Jeff .. lead him safely home to his worried family.
Prayers being sent for Jeff and his grandparents.
Prayers for Jeff. Has anyone checked to see if he has an online blog or anything? His network of friends might be on there and might yield some clues.

You got it, prayers sent...
Praying.
Prayers sent.
They are checking all his myspace friends and his email, I believe. He has a pre-paid cell phone which is not answering now. Probably out of minutes. Maybe the calls to/from can be checked.I did forget to say he is half Hispanic. Could be important as far as any sightings. Sorry.
To be honest, the law enforcement folks here don't seem to be taking this as seriously as they might. No police have come by to question my friend's son. The grandfather came over. There are flyers everywhere. But I haven't seen anything in the paper. Just weird. I think it has been decided he is a runaway. But, you would think someone would have seen him or be helping him.
I am rambling. This is just tearing us apart.
Prayers have gone up for Jeff's safe return and for the good Lord to comfort his grandparents in this troubling time.
Prayers gong up.
Jeff and his Grandparents are in my prayers today.
Joining in prayer.
Prayers going out!
Funny you should say that. There was an odd exchange on one of his friend's pages. We got another kid to sign in. The posting has made me very wary. One of the young men posting is regarded as trouble by most of the kids here. The post was between 2 boys and very cryptic.
Still surprised on the seeming lack of LEO presence. Just hoping they are doing more behind the scenes. The POs here are often seen as more revenue oriented than protection oriented.
If anyone here lives or works in Ozaukee county, try to see a flyer. He may be far away but we are praying he is just hiding at a friend's house.
Just prayed for him, that he will realize that his grandparents are out of their minds with worry, and that he will contact them.
Still no news on Jeff. A lot of parents are upset at how the police are dealing with this. Apparently, the news stations cannot broadcast the story without an OK from the sheriff's department. They consider him a runaway so even though he is only 14, no story. Unless, of course, the worst scenario happens.
We are trying to figure out more that we in the community can do. Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.
Thanks for the update. Just keep praying that Jeff is safe and for his grandparents to hold on tight.
