Great job by all those that searched for him.
Kol hakavod to his parents who let his disappearance be publicized, so that he can be found.
Too often, frum parents are too embarrassed to report a runaway.

BH!! I tutored him and his sister almost ten years ago and he was such a sweet boy.

Hashem should give him and his mother even more koach to deal with this and to come out stronger as they always have.

Thank G-d baruch hashem for a happy ending. Oy the ways this could have gone... We should publicize and celebrate this like we do of the bad things... This is a great kindness Hashem has done for us, saving this young man. We should continue to hear only good news! This will be a great year for kla'l yisroel!

B"H he was found! I pray that his mental health condition is soon under control and that he find happiness within himself to be the best person he can be. May his family have only the best and may they have the koach to help him through his difficulties.
