A 14 year-old boy has been living in Walmart for days after running away. According to sources, the boy has a history of running away to abandoned properties but through a wild guess, that may have gotten old.
Officials say that the teenager was supposed to be staying with relatives while his parents were out of town.His aunt was watching television when he vanished and she immediately called the police.
Corsicana Walmart employees were “shocked” to find the boy who had been living there for more than 54 hours. The child built secret makeshift lairs behind rolls of toilet paper and wore diapers to avoid being seen using the restroom – but it doesn’t end there.
The teenager divided his time between the baby isle behind boxes of strollers and the paper towel/toilet paper isle. He also built a secret pathway behind the soft drinks and lived off the store’s food. The boy changed his clothes every few hours so he could be unnoticed but his garbage trail led employees to discover him.
The police reported that the teenager appeared to be “fine” physically then returned him to his relatives safely. So far, no word from any Walmart Spokesperson and no charges have been declared against the boy.
