"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.

The next day she commented again with more information as she continued to worry.
