Hopefully the ones making the comments of these young boys needing this that or the other, you’re sharing their photos as well. Maybe hold off on the negative and just pray these kids are found without harm and receive the help they need.
Hopefully they stay safe. They just dont understand how unsafe it can be out in the world. But we may need to be finding out why they keep running away? Bad home life? Mental Health Issues? Or just rebelling. Let's try to help kids to make it in this crazy world.
I hope they find these young boys
I’ll bet $1.00 they have some all star parenting at home
Prayers for their safe return and the surrounding of supportive, positive influences in their lives to provide whatever it is they are searching for in the streets. 🛐💟
I pray that they return home safely. 🙏🏾
SOS - Missing Persons has shared this missing persons post in the hopes that it may help to find Jaylen and Travis.
I pray that they find them but they need to get some type of discipline incorporated being they keep running away. They don’t understand the amount of work that gets put into these types of cases by many many people. Kids these days just don’t care! If we tried some mess like this when I was younger man when we got found we was getting our a** beat so we didn’t even do it! Prayers being lifted for the parents too being they do not know where their children are.
Lord be a fence around these young men prottection lord Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Praying they found safe
Prayers for both
Praying for their safety
Praying!
Prayers for safe return
Praise God
Praying they are found safe
To God be alll the glory they are safe they find them thank u god.
Praying
🙏🏼🙏🏼Lord cover these children with your protection and bring them home safely 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Praise God thank you Jesus thank you to law-enforcement if he was found thank you thank you for your hard work…… all of these missing kids might be one of ours one day thank you for your dedication to find them👍🥰👆✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Prayers that they are found safe. 🙏🙏
