Plea: Joshua is my youngest brother, and is a serial runaway. This time however is different in many ways - he did not take anything with him except the clothes on his back, he does not have a job and has not contiued to go to school or had any contact with us (as he did the previous times)...he was also happy the last time we spoke to him on the morning of his disappearance...His family just wants to know that he is okay, he is safe and he is looking after himself... The only way we know at the moment that he is still out there is some slight activity on his net profile account in the past week, but this in inconclusive and we need to know you are okay mate.
