Imagine you are 14 years old and a friend invites you home to play games. It can happen that the time is forgotten and, on top of that, people fail to inform their parents.
Staying away for five days in a row without saying a word is probably a rare occurrence. The concern of a couple who finally reported their son missing last week and called the police was all the greater.
Family reports 14-year-old missing, but he was just playing PS2 with a friend
That's what it's about:In Malaysia, a 14-year-old teenager gave his family a terrible scare. They had been missing the boy after last seeing him at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. The family then looked for the teenager among friends, neighbors and relatives, but could not find him anywhere.
They finally filed a missing person report with the police on the same day. On Friday, the first media reported on the case of the missing teenager, who was now wanted by the police.
It took until Sunday until the boy resurfaced and the search could be ended. The 14-year-old is doing well and safe (Source:Malaysian GazetteviaReddit).
He just played PS2:According to the minor, he was just at a friend's house and played PS2 there the whole time. He also stayed overnight with this friend. Apparently this friend was not one of those the parents were looking for, even though the friend lives in the same town as the family.
According to his own statements, the teenager had not been away for several days at a time, but had even been at home for a while. He went to his parents' house to take a shower and eat something while his parents were not there.
