I hope this child wasn't harmed or taken and just ran because he was scared.

I would too. At any rate the main thing is he is safe.

[Heidi J.]

Hummm.. strange. Glad he is safe.

[TigressPen]

I wonder if this child has problems and that was why he called to say someone was breaking in. But, I wonder what valuables was taken and if he was the one who took them.

Police said Bronson Ryan Waldrum made a 911 call at 12:17 p.m. that said he was leaving his Columbia home at 511 Lookout Drive. When authorities arrived at the residence, they found the front door open and the teen missing.
Shortly before 5 p.m., someone reported seeing Waldrum running out of a basement at a nearby home.
Maury County Sheriff Enoch George said the teen was later found on a neighbor's front porch on Wednesday night.
Waldrum was taken to a hospital to be checked out, but it appeared he would be OK.
It was unclear why he would run away from home

[TigressPen]

That is what I don't understand, Roamer. What was he running away from? Were there really burglars, and what about the valuables taken. And where are the parents statements about these events.

[Faith]

Updates:
9:30 p.m. PST: Bronson has been located safe. I wonder what the real story was behind this Amber Alert. The list of items taken were some valuables and some prescription medication. The by the alleged victim to 911 was logged a little after noon today. By this evening the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation were involved in the search for this young man.

About three blocks from his home another teen saw Bronson running from the basement of his home and he called police. Police searched the woods for Bronson because they thought he might be hiding in a cave, but no luck.

He ended up on the front porch of a home in the area. The homeowner recognized Bronson from the Amber Alert announcement and called police.

Tonight Bronson is with his parents at a local emergency room being checked out. At this point authorities do not believe this was an abduction; they believe Bronson ran away from home.2

Curious about the prescription drugs though. Unless they thought this child was going to commit suicide.

I am glad they found him alive.
