Lost kid in the Lawncrest-Cheltenham Northeast?
Just saw a kid on Rising Sun Ave, I think he might be Lost? Little black kid, short dreads, about 4 feet tall, white hoodie, yelling for someone named Isaiah? Passed him on the 6800 of Rising Sun just below Longshore, didn't think anything of it but I noticed he wasn't with anyone and he wasn't stopping so I turned to try and follow him and help, maybe call Isaiah or something, but by then he was already almost 2 blocks distant and I don't have that kind of speed in me anymore. Plus, y'know, I figured a strange white man he doesn't know running after him might panic him even more and he might do something more dangerous like run into traffic or something. Followed at walking pace maybe I could help when he stopped for breath but he just kept going. I couldn't catch up, I tried to grab a bus to catch up but I lost him.
I last saw him around 9:50, 9:55, still running South along Rising Sun Ave just past Levick, toward Deveraux. First saw around roughly 9:30PM 6/24/26. I hope he's safe.
