JewishReporter: MONTICELO U/D: The Tzuber Is Requested to say Thileim for the 12 y/o boy Biumen Burech Ben Chana should get find soon
“No foul play suspected.” They said the same thing about Leiby Kletzky hy”d until the very last minute. What is his name for davening?
Baruch hashem the article was updated to say that the police now report that there was no foul play so they obviously know what happened to this boy and it wasn’t somthing bad.
If he left after an argument I would assume he ran off to a friend who hid him without telling his parents or some such, I’m sure they’ll find him soon.
Why are we making the same mistake as last Time ?! Do we want another meshugener to panick ? Who knows what could end up with the boy ? We must be very careful not to make such a matzav as in the keltzky story…
why do the parents wake up today y not yesterday
Please keep us updated. I’m terribly nervous…..
Boruch Hashem! thanks Vin for posting so quickly! we are all so edgy!
Baruch hashem….next time we might not be so lucky.
Please Lipa hurry and get a video posted or we won’t know what to do now.
Obviously a troubled teen nebech. As you can see the parents waited a day before reporting him missing since they figured he’s playing lost after the argument. They knew he can be up to trouble! Hope someone guides them in the right direction.
Do you think the child with be given a psychiatric evaluation and the parents turned over to the child protective services?
Gee people, why all the bickering. Just be happy that he is alive and well. Be grateful to all of those who were willing to give their time and resources to help find him.
