13 Year Old Goes Missing On A Thanksgiving Visit With Dad

              I found this article on the Washington Post website and many things ran through my head. I'm am very upset and touched by the fact that the boy went missing. The article says that the boys mother and father are divorced, and he lives with his mom but has visiting rights with his father.
              From personal experience my parents are divorced and I visit my dad on holidays and other days when we have "time" to visit. Sometimes I don't want to go, but I have to; that's just the way it is. The boy could have run away from the fact that he doesn't want to be with his father this holiday and wants to be with his mother. The court system requires us to switch on who you are with each holiday. For example last year I was with my dad for Thanksgiving and this year I was with my mom. If the boy that went missing just wants to be with his mom for his vacation just let him. I would like to choose but I can't. In conclusion hopefully the young man will be found soon.
