Another Boys Ranch Runaway !

[Billfo]

2nd time in a month & a half. Another 16 yr old has escaped from the L.U.C. Boys Ranch in Lampe. 5-8 , 130 lbs, WAS wearing an orange jumpsuit & boots.

This was reported this am , no telling how long he has actually been gone.

Most of us know the history of the Boys Ranch so I wont even piss everyone off..

Hopefully this one isn't as dangerous as the last two.

Just my opinion, but it seems pretty self-centered to want to deny these kids some Christian direction in life because this camp is somewhat in the neighborhood of your lakehouse. For Pete's sake, there are REAL CRIMINALS walking the streets all around you everyday and a heckuva lot more of them.

The "Christian direction" is the questionable and certainly subjective. If that is what they were given, the Boys Ranch wouldn't have the history it has. Money rules... As usual..

I can accept that, not knowing a LOT about the place.

Here's something you can know about it, and the reason for concern.

I think you have to pause and think when they use the word "escape".

Thanks for the heads up. Regardless of what you feel about the place it is good to be notified about such things.

where is this boys ranch in Lampe?

Looks like he was caught on the 23rd and returned to the ranch.

Only Billfo used the word "escape".

I think LUC Ranch has good intentions, but obviously it's a challenge with some of these kids.
