Tenerife: Search for missing teen will be 'more intense'

[@theresenydahl9531]

Don't blame the local Police or the locals, they are the ones out there looking for him in the scorching heat. 19 years old used to living at home, drunk, alone, doesn't speak the language, mobile phone on 1% battery, desoriented in a place he's not familiar with - what could possibly go wrong? Absolutely everything and it did. When I grew up our mothers always told us to whatever happens always stay together, never leave a friend alone, it could prevent a crime or even save a life.

[@ggunga7764]

Parents always give wise ideas

[@theresenydahl9531]

​@@ggunga7764 Most of them usually do. His mother bought her 19-year old the ticket to Tenerife because he asked her to, I wonder what she told him when she gave it to him.

[@susivarga7303]

We are talking about a criminal. A thug.

[@damonpowell8443]

He shouldn't have been on holiday in the first place. He should have been sat in his prison cell. Community service for what he did is disgraceful.

Strange that he got a lift from the music event to the strangers house, then left to get a bus and when he missed the bus , he chose to walk 11 hours at night instead of returning to the house to charge his phone , get a drink and arrange transport. Sounds like he was kicked out of the house.

@@ChaCha-lt8rxtrue, the police need to find out why he never went back to the house , they will find answers. I do not believe for one second he thought that it was a good idea to walk back with no water or battery , no matter how intoxicated he was (I’ve been there) I believe he had no choice. The bus stop is literally right outside the house and when he called his friend Lucy he was already 30mins away from the house. He was fleeing something
