Praying Donovan. is found safely, and soon.
Thanks for the follow-up. Nice to know this young man is safely home.
So much missing from this story, about what really happened. Glad Donovan is OK.
12 year old boy gave his family a scare, but found his own way home. So pleased that he had the necessary skills to get on a bus and walk home. What an adventure! Not every story ends like this, but it is good to know that some have a happy ending.
