Our Porch Light Stays On Until All Missing Kids Come Home

Most missing children are found quickly. But sometimes decades pass without answers, leaving loved...

<<“James, I want to know where you are. Please reach out to me. I have been missing you for so many years. I have been crying and struggling since you disappeared. You have so many people that love you. I am 72 years old, and I want to see you before God calls me home.”

– Sarah Bess, James’s mother>>

That quote from Mrs Bess got to me.

I am surprised at how little it appears has been done over the years. Is the FBI involved? Any new updates? Nothing?

These were young boys in the care of the State. These boys went missing on their watch did they not? Why hasn't more been done to find them?

What about other kids that were at that group home? Did they overhear anything? Was there abuse happening at the boys home?

We have nothing to go on, even after all these years? I find it unacceptable if you ask me.

I couldn't find anything about the Ashland Boys Home on 13th street.

Not to be too blunt, but my immediately feeling is beaten to death at the group home, because they had run away that morning. So sad.
