Vernon, for those that don't know, is on Hwy 79, the road that connects I-10 to Panama City Beach. Its the road some take to Sowal. Heads north to Alabama toward Geneva.

Hoping he is found, safe and unharmed. Disappearing while waiting for the school bus...

After walking around in the woods for a couple hours with an umbrella in the rain, I got a call that Damion Brown had been brought home. I don't have any details, but at least he is OK. Why is a 6 year old left at a bus stop alone? I don't get it.

No. I meant rather than take their kid to the school bus stop and wait till the bus got there, the parents sent their 6 year old go to the bus stop by himself. He wasn't at the but stop when the bus arrived, never made it to school.

He played hookie. Went running around all day. When he got home an saw the cops there, got scared and hid under the house in a crawl space.

The cops were later called back to that same address that same night for a domestic 'situation'.

Imagine that.
