Two teenagers who disappeared before sending amazing text messages to their families have been found secure and well.
Police have launched a seek for two 14-year-olds who’ve gone missing after being kicked out of faculty, and the boy’s family has shared screenshots of recent messages they received from him.
On Monday afternoon, South Australian Police confirmed that 14-year-old Callum Schiller and his 14-year-old girlfriend Crystal had been reported missing on a bus heading to the Adelaide Hills suburb of Mount Barker at 10:15am on Monday.
Crystal’s mother, Jaime Atkins, told NCA NewsWire she had no idea why her daughter had disappeared.
“I do not know what they’re doing or where they’re,” she said.
“It doesn’t suit Crystal in any respect.”
She said the duo dated for about 2 months, but Callum was the just one with a phone.
“Crystal’s phone is broken and she or he hasn’t fixed it yet, so she’s the just one with the phone.”
At 21:40, the SA Police confirmed that the couple had been positioned safely and well.
Callum’s sister, Ebony Schiller, said they were found on the corner of East and North Terrace within the Adelaide CBD and were taken to Hindley Street Police Station to wait for his or her families.
In a desperate plea to find Callum, his family on social media on Monday earlier asked anyone who can have seen the boy to get in contact.
“We now have no idea if he caught the connecting bus or is in Mt Barker,” Schiller wrote on Facebook.
“Callum is unreachable.
“Recent messages are: he cannot see, he’s in a shoe, he cannot say anything or he’ll get hit.”
Schiller, speaking to his father, told NCA NewsWire that he went missing together with his girlfriend after they were dropped off in school.
“They were dropped off in school this morning around 8:30 but never got in,” she said.
She said they bought bus tickets to Mount Barker on the Murray Bridge Information Center but weren’t seen on some other CCTV footage.
“Police said they were going to search the property in town, but we do not recognize the name of the one that owns it,” Schiller said.
Callum’s father, Chris Schiller, said he hoped the text messages weren’t real, but he didn’t think his son was telling jokes like that.
“He’s never done anything like this before, it is very out of character for him, so we’re very concerned,” he said.
“We hope every little thing is high quality.”
Atkins thanked the community for his or her support after the primary Facebook post raising the alarm was shared greater than 7,000 times.
“I’m completely overwhelmed by the support,” Atkins said.
