It is going to be interesting to see how this one plays out. His neighbors have never seen the kid even though they were next door for 2 years and played with his half-sisters. 5'3", 97 pounds, and with nearly translucent skin when found at a Los Angeles bus stop. His dad took him to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for his birthday(September 11th) and then shipped him west via Greyhound. Downtown LA bus station security guard thought something was funny with the kid and called cops; they are now trying to put together the real story and come up with charges. He is at a private family's house in the county and his two half-sisters are in state custody.

This explains the news van presence in town, they are only in my neck of the woods when something fucked up is going on.
