It appears that the teen could have run away on his own, though no one in the family seems to no why. According to Christian Olmos’ mother, the family has been frantic with worry since he first went missing last week. Christian Olmos is attending high school here in the States, but lives with his family back in Tijuana, Mexico.

Every day, his mother takes him to school and picks him up. But, on Thursday, February 4, when she returned to the school to pick up him at the usual time, she learned that he had not attended any classes that day, and that he received a ride from another student at the school that afternoon.

She also learned that the student dropped him off at an ice cream shop, and from there the boy took a cab to the border in San Ysidro. Cristian Olmos’ father, Raul, says that the student who dropped him off could have the name “Hichino.”

In a video message in Spanish, the Olmos family states that they want their son to know that they love him very much, and that they want him to return home. They ask for Cristian Olmos to be careful and to try to catch a taxi back home, and that they will pay for it. His sister, who also appears in the video, pleads with her brother to come back because she needs him.

Runaway Cases Don’t Receive The Same Attention As Abduction Or Kidnapping

Typically, the problem with many missing persons cases that involve an older teen stems from law enforcement’s notion that the teen is a runaway. Even with many news outlets, a teen runaway case is not treated with the same sense of urgency and importance as cases of teen abductions or kidnappings.

However, it is important to note that teens who have left on their own free will could still be in danger. Some runaway teens could be dealing with issues that are unknown to the family — problems such as mental illness, drug addiction, or bullying, which could still put them in harm’s way.
