"I just received a text from him from a text now number cannot be traced anybody that lives in Saugerties and sees my child please let me know because he’s obviously with somebody that’s old enough to either A: have their own place to live or B: he’s with a child and his parents my child does not really know anybody in Saugerties now I’m worried," she wrote.
