A teenage runaway has been found living in a Walmart supermarket in Corsicana, Texas.

The 14 year old was reported missing on the 28th of July after disappearing from his aunt’s house where he had been staying whilst his parents were out of town.

The boy managed to hide from staff in 2 secret compounds made of stacks of towels, baby pram boxes and toilet paper.

So that he did not risk detection by going to the store’s toilet, the boy wore diapers and changed his clothes regularly.

The boy successfully hid from store employees and customers in his 2 hideaways where he hid necessities, designed himself a makeshift bed and ate stolen food from the store.

The runaway made a gap in the drink aisle which let him grab juice and he even collected a fish from the pet department!

A trail of rubbish eventually led store workers to the boy’s whereabouts.

The runaways mothers said that this is not the first time her son has disappeared, and that he has a history of disappearing and has hidden in abandoned houses and business buildings on past occasions.

Walmart has not confirmed if it will press charges against the boy.

  1. What why would you run away in abandoned houses and business buildings and Walmart I would press charges against him if he has been living and stealing things!

  2. What a interesting choice why couldn’t he just stay at home it would be much warmer and he would have hot dinners and a loving family and he could’ve gone to the toilet and not wear diapers what a silly 14 year old if I were walmart I would charge him all the things he used.

  3. Wait just a minute here now! Before they press charges they should find out why he ran away! Maybe the Aunty was abusing him, or he felt abandond by his parents! Either way, give the boy a chance!

  4. why did he do that in the first place? I mean, He is a 14 yr old boy he should be responsible. and running away to walmart..
