Update: Jaylen Jones Is Found Safe

There was some good news on KAKE News this morning, and that is that young Jaylen Jones was found safe in Rice County, Kansas. Something your blogger finds interesting is that Jaylen was missing for several weeks while his case was given no attention, because he had been deemed a "runaway", and therefore not important; but when his story aired in KAKE, he was suddenly located. Can this be dismissed as coincidence? Your blogger thinks not. Runaways need to be found just as much as those who disappear involuntarily need to be found, and most of the victims of human traffickers in America are actually teens who have run away from home.

Jaylen Jones Missing From Kansas

Jaylen Jones has been missing from Arkansas City, Kansas since October 21 of this year. Police have treated his case as if he had run away from home, but no one has heard from him since that date, and three and a half weeks is a long time for a sixteen year old to forgo texting, social media, video games, and communication with family or friends. 

Jaylen's mother, Rachel Stevens, reported him missing. He was last seen in a red jacket and black tennis shoes, and he is about 5' 6" tall, 145 lbs., and has sandy blond hair and blue eyes. If you have any information about him, please call the Arkansas City Police Department at 620-441-4444.
