Walmart Life - In Diapers?!

Thanks to Inky for the link to this story. You've probably heard it - the story about the 14-year-old boy who ran away, went to Walmart, and spent four days living there. it's been all over the national news. The part that you may not have heard, was that he spent most of the time in diapers.
You read that right. Homeboy made a cubby/campsite in the diaper aisle, behind cases of diapers - and, to avoid being caught, wore them.

It was, in fact, his trash pile - including what we can assume included used diapers - that was eventually detected and got him caught.

There is no evidence that he's one of us, of course. But I don't know too many other teenage boys who would choose to wear diapers. And I remember being stressed out as a adolescent, and desperately needing diaper time. I did some crazy stuff to get diapers at 14. If my town had had a Walmart, who knows...

The sad part of the story is that he was missing for four days and nobody even reported it. Makes me worry about what he had to go back to. Hopefully he winds up being okay. Especially if he's one of us.

Here's the link:

And these pictures from the news report show his hiding spot - note the abundance of diapers - and the trash pile. Eek.
