Something to see my signals with?

abraxa:
Is there someone near OKC who can meet Cody Turner in person? He sent me a rather worrying PM and I'm not sure what to do. I'm halfway across the globe. He appears to be in urgent need of assistance from an adult and I'd also like to make sure he's not an adult pretending to be a child in need in order to obtain money and/or items for free. (No offense Cody but it's something that must unfortunately be considered these days.)

Mr. Scram:

It might pay to contact Dave. He's halfway accross the globe too, but he'll be able to verify some of the details and can maybe also coordinate consequent actions.

Hi Mr. Scram, I talked to abraxa and gave him my info to talk and explain I had just typed my messege fast and think that he misunderstood it, i was NOT asking for money or items or anything by any means, so everything is all okay now, i told him that i had 20$ on pay pal and asked if he knew if there was a way to withdraw it like through the mail or anything, and that it wasnt really a appropriate forum post as has nothing to do with electronics and since he is the only one that has messaged with me i just asked him!

Eka:
is it $20 or $44
is it 13yo or is it much older?
Starving or not?
Three hours to walk from the library home? Please, in my poor health I could have walked from the closest university one to the gi       ven address in less than 2 hours. There are other libraries that are closer.

I contacted abraxa after he asked for help because I'm significantly closer to Cody. At this point I'd just assumed OKC stood for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA. It matches information in Cody's profile. I suggested a few ways of sending food because of the desperate situation Cody told abraxa Cody was in. He provided some information Cody told him. I did a bit of google search checking of public records. I easily found public records of a Cody Turner at the shipping address given, but not close to 13 years old. I found older adults who either still live at the address, or did at one time that share the Turner last name, and who's ages are consistent with having an offspring who's age could easily have been the age of the Cody I found. There were other details I found that made me sure the Cody I found tied to that address was their offspring.

Cody, if you are really needing food, do you realize you are able to go to food banks and get free food?

Peabody:
I Googled Oklahoma City Child Protective Services, and found this:

"If you believe a child is being abused or neglected, you have a legal responsibility to report it. Reports can be made at any time to the DHS Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-522-3511. The hotline is available 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week."

I haven't followed all of this, and may be over-interpreting what's been posted publicly, but maybe it's time that someone who has had direct contact with him and has his address will consider making that call.  If he's saying his parents have disappeared, and he has no relatives or others he can stay with in Oklahoma City, then CPS probably needs to be involved.
