Oh man my heart just broke.

Not him! (

Heartbreaking. I so hope it’s Timmothy. What this kid has been through...

Even if he is not Timothy, he sorely needs help due to his injuries, both physical and mental.

WTF...but...HOW....man this is sad...

 

[lilacstarz]

terrible!

 

[inmyhumbleopinion]

A local investigation continues into this person's true identity. To be clear, law enforcement has not and will not forget Timmothy, and we hope to one day reunite him with his family. Unfortunately, that day will not be today.

Teen Who Claims He's Timmothy Pitzen Is Answering Questions Only He Would Know, Aunt Says

From the above article: BBM

He is being treated for what appear to be injuries from repeated beatings and he's being evaluated by child psychiatrists.

Repeated beatings

 

[MachoFantastico]

I mean why would you go around pretending to be a missing person? Can't imagine how the family feel being put through that again.

Timmothy Pitzen Case: Missing Children Found Safe: What Are The Odds?
"Many details–including confirmation that the boy is actually Pitzen–remain unknown. But if the reports alleging he’s indeed alive are verified, Pitzen would end up in the ranks of other high-profile missing kids cases with happy endings.

Of all the abductions reported to NCMEC between 2014 and 2015, 98 percent involved kids who ran away or were taken by a family member, and it took an average of about a year before kids who were taken by a family member were found, according to NCMEC.

Although Pitzen was last seen alive in his mother’s care, the case doesn’t fall into either of those categories.

These abducted children were found safe under miraculous circumstances."
