That second time, Putman says, Ricky had a bag with him full of clothes and asked his neighbor if he could live with them.

Many children in abusive homes, removed and later adopted have isssues like hoarding food, running away and bonding issues. Many will ask teachers, coaches, neighbors if they can move in with them.Jovin said:This is such a sad case....what is wrong in that home that would cause this child to run and to beg for food at a neighbour's and ultimately want to live with them...complete strangers, most likely. This is a sad case that should have been reported to authorities at that time. It's not natural for a child to do things like this unless they're extremely unhappy in the home atmosphere.
This needs further investigation, that's for sure, and I hope it's not too late for this poor little boy. God bless him.

"Police have searched for Ricky using bloodhounds, helicopters and community volunteers. All they found was a soccer ball and a trail of candy wrappers."dannyodie said:have the police used a scent tracking dog, I know there was a search of the area, but did they ever use a dog? if not, they still could use one, a dog will be able to smell a scent in grassy areas for months, the scent is not useally good for very long on asphalt pavement. I wonder if maybe a neighbor could be holding onto him? but the worse case is that he may have gotten into a car with someone that could have stopped after seeing him up and down the road. or the foster parents may have done something with him since he was a child that was hard to deal with.

have they actually done a full search of the homes of the 50 (or 100, or 500, or whatever it was) sex offenders who are residing comfortably in the area? (*DUH!!*)
bet they'll find a clue or 2 if they do that.
then again, they probably don't want to infringe upon their "god-given right to privacy" or anything.
