You know those teens I mentioned in my last post—who seem to keep disappearing day after day? 15-year-old girl missing since, 14-year-old boy missing from, 17-year-old last seen…

I share their pictures, say a prayer, and wonder why they’re missing. Kidnapped, ran away, got lost, what? I’ve always had a soft spot for teens. So challenging, so vulnerable, so “invincible,” so young. No matter how bad it gets, don’t run away.

If you knew your child was planning to leave tomorrow, what would you say to them?
