JoJo must be so confused and scared by this lifestyle on the run. It's not safe for him. He could be drawn to water and drown, drawn to a ledge and fall, go outside without proper gear and freeze. It's so very worrisome that he hasn't been found.

Noting:

"I think they’re in that area somewhere," said Joe Carrillo, a Florida-based private investigator working with Jo-Jo’s mother, Yanet Concepcion to find her son, adding that both he and Jennifer Dorman, a Maine-based private investigator who is also working with Concepcion and Carrillo, are concerned about the impacts of colder weather on Jo-Jo.

Both Dorman and Carrillo say that searches they conducted with dogs suggest the family has crossed the border into Canada.

I'm so happy that JoJo is safe and will soon be back with his mom!

His mom is on the news video at the link -- she looks so happy. She talked to JoJo on the phone and he asked her where she has been. She told him she has been waiting for him to come back from vacation. She said he was found at a Walmart.

‘I Had to React': Canadian Tipster Who Spotted Missing Miami-Dade Boy Speaks

The woman spotted Jorge and JoJo in WalMart and immediately recognized them from all of the publicity they had in New Brunswick. So she called the RCMP and just kept a distant eye on them until the police arrived.

Jorge's mother was found in a cabin in a rural area north of Moncton. (image in the video at the link)
