Run, Run, Run Away … Or Not

One Scanner Traffic post today caught my attention more than the others -- and made me chuckle. It was the one at 4:24 in which a motorist stopped to check on the welfare of a small child that he saw riding his bike back and forth along the railroad line that cuts through Athol on Highway 54. Seems the boy was livid re: something that happened at home, and was running away. I never tried to run away from home b/c, frankly, it was too far from our dairy into town. And things were never that bad at home. How about you?

Question: Did you ever run away from home as a kid? How did that turn out?
