I think he has to be fairly savvy to travel from home to Denville to Newark to Penn Station to Trenton to Camden. Lots of train changes and can be a little intimidating if not familiar with it in some way. Plus he lives in a town that has a train station which could easily get him to Secaucus NJ and them to Penn Station, or to Hoboken NJ and then to lower Manhattan. He seems to have chosen these roundabout and south-north-south routes for a reason. jmo
I lived in both Hoboken and Bloomfield on the border of north newark, so I am somewhat knowledgeable of his possible routes. I actually don’t know if I agree he chose these routes for a reason. Things may not have worked out the way he planned. Boarding a plane alone to get on a flight that your parents booked for you is different than trying to navigate the country on your own as a 15 year old with no phone
That being said, where was he staying the past few days? I think he has assistance.
It took 3 days for this to be made public. So much could have happened in those 3 days. If his runaway situation was made public right away, we may not be here right now talking about him being on the run because he may have been outed by someone at this point. Those 3 days were crucial imo. FWIW I think the family knows way more than they are saying, and I would not be surprised if they know he is safe because they’ve talked to someone who has been with him.
