What a brave guy and lovely writing, I hope he can use this to help others in future, every confidence that he'll make it through what he's going through with the support of his family.

it’s a lovely post written by Dillion, honest, thoughtful, I really went through the emotions of Dillion reading it. So pleased he is with his dad in London. It’s a good point Dillion brings up, 18 is a big step in terms of things you can do at 18 compared to 17. Are a lot teens really aware of some of the pitfalls of possible dangers that these activities they can legally do (drink, bet, etc) I would certainly say not always and more education / awareness on some of these pitfalls may be needed.

He seems really genuine, I'm delighted that he's been so honest about having a lapse in judgement and that it didn't turn into something more nefarious! He's laid the foundations for repairing relationships, self improvement, and bettering his everyday life IMO. This is something DD and his family can actually work with. So glad he's safe.

This is so wonderful. He sounds like an incredibly strong person. I hope this is the start of a new life for him.

My goodness, the picture of Dillon and his dad brought a tear to my eye. You can just see the love they have for each other, and the look of absolute relief is evident in his dad’s face. I’m so glad this boy has been found and has all the support he needs.
