I completely agree. He sounds like a remarkable young man. Are people making an assumption about him dropping out of school? I haven’t seen that reported in the news or by his family. When he moved to rural Utah he could have continued his education remotely. He could have been doing a homeschooling program or studied independently and got his GED.In Idaho you can drop out of school at 16. He probably grew up farming and is well qualified to run a farm. It sounds like he probably had hired help. Although we haven't heard much about that. Owning your own farm at sixteen is not a bad gig. Kids in farming and ranching mature much more quickly than city kids. They pull their weight at a young age. Everyone has a job no matter their age. IMO, Dylan should be commended for what he was doing. All JMO.
His family probably had safeguards in place, like daily telephone check-ins, to make sure he was ok.
