Dark Ghost Journal March 4, 2015

Just a few days after my daughter was born on Monday March the 2nd at 10:30 pm an weighed in a 6 pounds 16 ounces. I went out for a smoke. Gas station across the street alarm going off but no cars on lot or around back so I went to check it out and found nothing doors still locked and no broken windows. I called the police and was told that they would send a car to look in to it. Also  I possibly save a retired private detective`s life he was in for double pneumonia. He was out side smoking and got to feeling very weak I ran and got a nurse and while she was tending to him I ran and got a wheelchair and took the old fellow up to his room. I talk with him a bit and got him to give up his cigarettes at least till he gets home and got him to give the his last pack to the nurse till he is discharged. The later helped a man to find I lost keepsake that belonged to his sick wife a small gold baby ring that she had since she was two it had fallen off the keychain. He had to get take some important in to his wife's doctor but did not want to go in with out it cause he new it would upset his wife. I told him I would find it go take in what the doctor needs. I found it and waited for him in the main lobby a few minutes later he returned and I gave him the ring.

Missing 13-y-o runaway

Police say Cameron Shepherd is not believed to be in danger; he may have had assistance leaving. Authorities confirmed he has run away from home before, calling him a "repeat offender."

 

Some think he may travel to Rock Spring, Georgia.

 

Shepherd is five feet and two inches tall, and has brown hair and brown eyes.

He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray jacket and gray tennis shoes.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to call police at 423-698-2525.

 

He's from Rossville GA, and he lived behind Bi-Lo in Rossville.

 

I went out looking for this kid today. News says he is not believed to be in danger, which to me makes no sense because they believe the boy had help leaving. For all they know, the one that help the kid leave could be some pervert, and also the temperatures have not been above freezing since this kid went missing. The cold has already claimed one life here in Chattanooga Tennessee, and if this child is out in it - he could be the next. I pray that does not happen.

 

The news also said that the boy is a repeat offender runaway, but, something in my gut is telling me that there are a few questions that someone should be asking, yet it seems to me that no one is asking them.

 

Question one: "Why does this young boy of 13 keep running away?" Since this boy keeps running away, there has to be a reason. Now granted, there are a large number of thing that could be the reason, but there are also a few that I think should be looked into. E.g., "Are his parents on drugs?" "Is the boy being beaten at home?" or "Is he just a rebellious boy with teen angst?"

 

The other question that people should be asking is: "Why did this young teen wait till the weather was deadly cold to run away?" Yes this is a young kid we are talking about, but even a child knows that this kind of weather we have been having here in Chattanooga can kill you - I mean temperatures in the teens and twenties, rain, ice, and light snow, kids know that is not safe to be out in.

 

Something else bugging me about this case, is that an Amber Alert was not sent out. Yes he is a runaway, but he is still just a young teen that may have had help leaving. If he wanted to go or not, this still counts as kidnapping as my understanding of the law goes. Now if this kid is in a bad living situation and this person is trying to help this kid, the way he went about it still is illegal, and there are legal ways they could have helped this boy if that was the case.

 

What ever the case may be I will continue my search for this kid since some seem to think he could be heading to Rock Springs, Georgia I will search that small town this weekend.

 

UPDATE : February 24 2015

 

The kid has been found but there are still many unanswered questions.

 

Why did this boy of 13 runaway?

Why did he wait to they weather turned deathly cold with ice and snow falling?

Who was this person the police think help the boy to runaway?

 

Also I am glad the young teen was found but this raises a new question?

 

Where was he found?
